(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, until June 30, 1996, if county-imposed funding reductions prevent a county from fully funding the county share of the nonfederal administrative costs of the Aid to Families with Dependent Children, Food Stamps, and In-Home Supportive Services programs, the reimbursements to counties for the state share of nonfederal costs shall not be reduced.
(b) Subdivision (a) shall be subject to the following restrictions:
(1) The reduction imposed upon departments within a county responsible for administering the programs referred to in subdivision (a) shall be proportionate to the average reduction in county funds for administrative activities imposed on all other departments within a county, except departments funded with revenue from Section 35 of Article XIII of the California Constitution and the county departments of health services. The county board of supervisors shall certify that the reductions are imposed proportionately.
(2) If a county reduces the department responsible for administering the programs referred to in subdivision (a), and makes reductions that exceed the average reduction of any other county departments, with the exception of departments funded with revenue from Section 35 of Article XIII of the California Constitution, and the county departments of health services, then the state allocation for these programs shall be reduced by the same percentage.
(3) The state share of nonfederal costs for county administration allocated to a county for the administration of the programs referred to in subdivision (a) shall be limited to the 1995–96 fiscal year allocations as determined by the State Department of Social Services in compliance with current allocation formulas as adjusted pursuant to paragraph (2).
(4) No reduction in county administrative costs authorized by this section shall result in any increased cost to the state General Fund.
(5) No reduction in county administrative costs authorized by this section shall result in any decrease in county assistance payments in the programs referred to in subdivision (a).
(c) Subdivisions (a) and (b) shall become operative on the date the Budget Act of 1995 is enacted.
(Added by Stats. 1995, Ch. 312, Sec. 1. Effective August 3, 1995. Note: The 1995 Budget Act (Ch. 303) was enacted on Aug. 3, 1995.)
