SUMMARY : Clarifies uncodified language in Section 8 of SB 853
(Budget and Fiscal Review Committee), Chapter 27, Statutes of
2014. Specifically, this bill requires Fresno County to direct
$5.5 million of funds, from its transportation maintenance of
effort (MOE) 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.
EXISTING LAW :
1)Defers a $5.5 million payment until June 30, 2015, from Fresno
County to its Local Road Fund required to demonstrate the
county's MOE (SB 524 (Cogdill), Chapter 716, Statutes of
2010).
2)Requires local governments to meet a MOE threshold to be
eligible for state transportation funding.

3)Delays 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 (Section 8 of SB 853).
FISCAL EFFECT : This bill clarifies the language included in SB
853, which delayed the required county maintenance of effort
payments for Proposition 42 transportation projects that were
completed in 2001. This effect of SB 853 was to delay the
requirement that Fresno County spend $5.5 million of county
general fund dollars on transportation until 2020.
COMMENTS : This bill clarifies language included in the 2014-15
Budget Act relating to Fresno County's MOE.
