Fiscal Impact: One-time costs of $6 million ($3 million General Fund) for reprogramming of CMIPS II and ongoing costs of $1 million ($0.5 million General Fund). Potential increase in county administrative costs (Federal Fund/General Fund) to enter data from two payroll systems into the CMIPS II database in order to differentiate between authorized hours for IHSS and by managed health care plans. AB 97 (Weber) Page 1 of ? Author Amendments: Clarify that IHSS service hours and managed care health plan service hours are separate and distinct. Staff notes this amendment addresses the potential fiscal impact associated with an increase in IHSS program costs for overtime and related activities, to the extent issuing a single payroll check to providers for both IHSS authorized hours and hours authorized by managed health care plans triggers the requirements related to overtime under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). -- END --
