           DIGEST  :    This bill clarifies the action that Fresno County  
          must take in order to defer the countys 2010 transportation  
          maintenance of effort payment until 2020.  

           ANALYSIS  :    SB 524 (Cogdill, Chapter 716, Statutes of 2010)  
          deferred a $5.5 million payment until June 30, 2015, from Fresno  
          County to its Local Road Fund required to demonstrate the  
          county's Maintenance-of-Effort (MOE).  State law requires local  
          governments to meet a MOE threshold to be eligible for state  
          transportation funding.

          As approved by the Governor on June 20, 2014, Section 8 of SB  
          853 (Committee on Budget and Fiscal Review, Chapter 27, Statutes  
                                                                CONTINUED





                                                                    AB 2731
                                                                     Page  
          2

          of 2014) delayed until January 30, 2020, Fresno County's  
          required MOE payment as long as the county continues to provide  
          medical services to indigent individuals and undocumented  
          individuals consistent with the eligibility and benefit  
          provisions in effect in the 2013-14 fiscal year.  

          This bill amends SB 853 to clarify the action Fresno County must  
          take in order to defer the 2010 MOE payment until 2020.   
          Specifically, this bill requires Fresno County to expend no less  
          than $5.5 million to provide specialty medical services in  
          conjunction with federally qualified health clinics, or other  
          federally funded clinics, to indigent individuals, including but  
          not limited to, those individuals who are ineligible for  
          full-scope Medi-Cal.  If Fresno County spends the $5.5 million  
          on healthcare services, it would then have until 2020 to repay  
          the $5.5 million to its Local Road Fund.
