LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 681, Hurtt. Local government assistance.
(1) Existing law provides for the award of moneys to the counties
from the General Fund for juvenile facilities, as specified, only if
county matching funds are provided, as specified.
This bill would specify exceptions to the requirement.
(2) Existing law requires each county to pay the state $25 per
month for the time a person from that county is committed to the
Department of the Youth Authority, as specified.
This bill would revise and recast this provision to require the
county to pay the state $150 per month for the time a person from
that county is committed to the Department of the Youth Authority,
effective January 1, 1997.
The bill would also require each county to pay the state for each
person committed to the Department of the Youth Authority pursuant to
a scale with regard to the offense on which the commitment is based.
(3) Existing law continuously appropriates special fund moneys for
apportionments to cities and counties of a portion of the revenues
derived from a per gallon tax on motor vehicle fuels in accordance
with prescribed formulas. A city's or county's entitlement to the
apportioned funds from the tax imposed at a rate of more than 9
per gallon is conditional upon its expenditure from its general fund
for street and highway purposes of an amount not less than the
annual average of its expenditures during the 1987-88, 1988-89, and
1989-90 fiscal years. Under existing law, this condition is not
applicable for the 1992-93, 1993-94, 1994-95, 1995-96, and 1996-97
fiscal years. t This bill would delete that condition. Thus, this
bill would make funds available to cities and counties that would
not be eligible otherwise, thereby making an appropriation.
(4) Existing law requires any county receiving certain state
allocations to maintain specified levels of financial support of
county funds for health services.
This bill would revise county realignment financial
responsibilities.
(5) Existing law authorizes the board of supervisors in any county
to adopt a general assistance standard of aid, including the value
of in-kind aid.
This bill would provide that the value of in-kind aid includes,
but is not limited to, the value of specified amounts of medical aid
and care.
(6) Existing law authorizes the board of supervisors of any county
to adopt a standard of aid below a specified level if the Commission
on State Mandates makes a finding that the prescribed level would
result in significant financial distress to the county. The
commission may make a finding of financial distress for a period of
up to 12 months and is required to act on county applications within
specified time periods.
This bill would authorize the commission to make a finding of
financial distress for a period of up to 36 months and would extend
the application periods.
(7) Existing law authorizes the board of supervisors of each
county to adopt residency requirements for purposes of determining a
person's eligibility for general assistance.
This bill would authorize counties to establish a standard of
general assistance for applicants or recipients who share housing
with unrelated persons who are not legally responsible for them, and
would prohibit an employable individual from receiving aid for more
than 3 months in any 12-month period whether or not the months are
consecutive. The bill would also authorize a county to require adult
applicants and recipients of benefits under the general assistance
program to undergo screening for substance abuse.
(8) Existing law permits a reduction for the 1994-95 fiscal year
of up to $15,000,000 in the amount a county or a city is required to
deposit into the health account each month.
This bill would permit a reduction of up to $25,000,000 in that
amount and would delete that fiscal year restriction.
(9) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse
local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the
state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that
reimbursement.
This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this
act for a specified reason.
Appropriation: yes.

(2) One million dollars ($1,000,000) for apportionment to all
counties, including a city and county, as follows:
(A) Seventy-five percent in the proportion that the number of
fee-paid and exempt vehicles which are registered in the county bears
to the number of fee-paid and exempt vehicles registered in the
state.
(B) Twenty-five percent in the proportion that the number of miles
of maintained county roads in the county bears to the miles of
maintained county roads in the state.
(3) For each county, determine its factor which is the higher
amount calculated pursuant to paragraph (1) or (2) divided by the sum
of the higher amounts for all of the counties.
(4) The amount to be apportioned to each county is equal to its
factor multiplied by the amount available for apportionment.
(b) A sum equal to the net revenue from a tax of 11.5 percent of
any per gallon tax in excess of nine cents ($0.09) per gallon under
Section 7351 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, and 11.5 percent of
any per gallon tax in excess of nine cents ($0.09) per gallon under
Section 8651 of that code, shall be apportioned to cities, including

state under this section, which the county shall process and pay

SEC. 7. Section 17000.5 of the Welfare and Institutions Code is

17000.5. (a) The board of supervisors in any county may adopt a
general assistance standard of aid, including the value of in-kind
aid which includes, but is not limited to, the monthly actuarial
value of up to forty dollars ($40) per month of medical care, that is
62 percent of a guideline that is equal to the 1991 federal official
poverty line and may annually adjust that guideline in an amount
equal to any adjustment provided under Chapter 2 (commencing with

the extent of the duty of counties to provide health care.
(b) The adoption of a standard of aid pursuant to this section

standard of aid below the level established in Section 17000.5 if the
Commission on State Mandates makes a finding that meeting the
standards in Section 17000.5 would result in a significant financial
distress to the county. When the commission makes a finding of
significant financial distress concerning a county, the board of
supervisors may establish a level of aid which is not less than 40
percent of the 1991 federal official poverty level, which may be
further reduced pursuant to Section 17001.5 for shared housing. The
commission shall not make a finding of significant financial distress
unless the county has made a compelling case that, absent the
finding, basic county services, including public safety, cannot be
maintained.
(b) Upon receipt of a written application from a county board of
supervisors, the commission may make a finding of financial distress
for a period of up to 36 months pursuant to regulations that the
commission shall adopt, that are necessary to implement this section.
The period of reduction may be renewed annually by the commission
upon reapplication by the county. Any county that filed an
application prior to July 1, 1995, that was approved by the
commission on or before August 31, 1995, shall be deemed to have had
that application approved for a period of 36 months.
(c) As part of the decisionmaking process, the commission shall
notice and hold a public hearing on the county's application or
reapplication in the county of application. The commission shall
provide a 30-day notice of the hearing in the county of application
or reapplication. The commission shall notify the applicant county
of its preliminary decision within 60 days after receiving the
application and final decision within 90 days after receiving the
application. If a county files an application while another county's
application is pending, the commission may extend both the
preliminary decision period up to 120 days and the final decision
period up to 150 days from the date of the application.
(d) This section shall not be construed to eliminate the
requirement that a county provide aid pursuant to Section 17000.
(e) Any standard of aid adopted pursuant to this section shall
constitute a sufficient standard of aid.
(f) The commission may adopt emergency regulations for the
implementation of this section.
SEC. 9. Section 17001.5 of the Welfare and Institutions Code is
amended to read:
17001.5. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law,

(2) (A) Establish a standard of general assistance for applicants
and recipients who share housing with one or more unrelated persons
or with one or more persons who are not legally responsible for the
applicant or recipient. The standard of general assistance aid
established pursuant to Section 17000.5 for a single adult applicant
or recipient may be reduced pursuant to this paragraph by not more
than the following percentages, as appropriate:

with two other persons described in this subparagraph.
(iii) Twenty-five percent if the applicant or recipient shares
housing with three or more other persons described in this paragraph.
(B) Any standard of aid adopted pursuant to this paragraph shall
constitute a sufficient standard of aid for any recipient who shares
housing.
(C) Counties with shared housing reductions larger than the
amounts specified in subparagraph (A) as of August 19, 1992, may
continue to apply those adjustments.
(3) Discontinue aid under this part for a period of not more than
180 days with respect to any recipient who is employable and has

(4) Prohibit an employable individual from receiving aid under
this part for more than three months in any 12-month period, whether

received on or after the effective date of this paragraph. This
paragraph shall apply only to those individuals who have been offered
an opportunity to attend job skills or job training sessions.
(5) Notwithstanding paragraph (3), discontinue aid to, or
sanction, recipients for failure or refusal without good cause to
follow program requirements. For purposes of this subdivision, lack
of good cause may be demonstrated by a showing of either (A) willful
failure or refusal of the recipient to follow program requirements,
or (B) not less than three separate acts of negligent failure of the
recipient to follow program requirements.

(3) The Legislative Analyst shall, in the conduct of the study
required by this section, consult with the State Department of Social

organizations that advocate on behalf of recipients of general
assistance.
(c) A county may provide aid pursuant to Section 17000.5 either by
cash assistance, in-kind aid, a two-party payment, voucher payment,
or check drawn to the order of a third-party provider of services to
the recipient. Nothing shall restrict a county from providing more
than one method of aid to an individual recipient.
(d) Paragraphs (1), (3), and (5) of subdivision (a) and all of
subdivision (b) of this section shall remain operative until January
1, 1997, and as of that date are inoperative, unless a later enacted

individual is dependent upon illegal drugs or alcohol. The county
shall maintain documentation of this finding.
(b) A county may require as a condition of aid reasonable
participation in substance abuse or alcohol treatment programs for

amended to read:
17608.05. (a) As a condition of deposit of funds from the Sales
Tax Account of the Local Revenue Fund into a county's local health

county or city standard matching obligations for the 1990-91 fiscal
year for mental health programs.
(b) A county, city, or city and county may limit its deposit of
matching funds to the amount necessary to meet minimum federal
maintenance of effort requirements, as calculated by the State
Department of Mental Health, subject to the approval of the
Department of Finance. However, the amount of the reduction
permitted by the limitation provided for by this subdivision shall
not exceed twenty-five million dollars ($25,000,000) per fiscal year
on a statewide basis.
(c) Any county, city, or city and county that elects not to apply
maintenance of effort funds for community mental health programs
shall not use the loss of these expenditures from local mental health
programs for realignment purposes, including any calculation for
