           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 Maintenance of Effort (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

                                                                  Page  2


            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. 

           COMMENTS  :  This trailer bill clarifies language included in SB  
          853, which delayed the required county maintenance of effort  
          payments for Proposition 42 of 2002 transportation projects for  
          Fresno County.
