	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 319, Thomson.  County programs:  funding.
   Existing law requires counties to provide various health services
and authorizes counties to contract with the State Department of
Health Services for the provision of health services.
   This bill would require the department, within 60 days of
enactment of the Budget Act, to advance to a local health department,
25% of the annual General Fund allocation, subvention, or
reimbursement required by a local health department for the delivery
of services related to the California Children's Services Program,
the Child Health and Disability Prevention Program, and HIV education
and prevention services in accordance with a specified formula.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:


  SECTION 1.  Section 100236 is added to the Health and Safety Code,
to read:
   100236.  (a) Within 60 days of enactment of the Budget Act, the
department shall advance to a local health department 25 percent of
the annual General Fund allocation, subvention, or reimbursement
required by a local health department for the delivery of services
specified in subdivision (b).  In determining the dollar amount of
the 25 percent allocation, subvention, or reimbursement, the
department shall use the local health department's prior year's or
the most recently completed fiscal year's allocation.
   (b) Subdivision (a) shall apply to the following health programs
and General Fund funding sources:
   (1) Funding for administration for the California Children's

   (2) Funding for medical therapy for the California Children's
Services Program (Article 5 (commencing with Section 123800) of

   (3) Funding for administration for the Child Health and Disability
Prevention Program (Article 6 (commencing with Section 124025) of
Chapter 3 of Part 2 of Division 106).
   (4) Funding for HIV education and prevention services under
Section 100119.
   (c) This section shall not apply to a local health department that
is three or more quarters in arrears in billing the state for the
programs specified in subdivision (b).
   (d) For purposes of this section, "local health department" has
the same meaning as that set forth in Section 101185.
