SB 881 (Committee on Budget and Fiscal Review) - As Amended:
August 27, 2014
SENATE VOTE : not relevant
SUBJECT : County of Fresno: Maintenance of Effort: Streets and
Roads Allocations.
SUMMARY : Clarifies language in Section 8 of SB 853 (Budget and
Fiscal Review Committee, Chapter 27, Statutes of 2014).
Specifically, this bill clarifies language that requires Fresno
County to direct $5.5 million of funds 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 : Includes an appropriation of $1,000 from the
General Fund to the Department of Transportation for
administration.
