(b) Funds appropriated pursuant to subdivision (a) shall be allocated to the counties separately and shall be available for expenditure by the counties for services provided during the budget year.

Any unexpended funds may be retained by each county for expenditure for the same purposes during the succeeding fiscal year. By November 20, 1998, each county shall report to the department on the use of these funds.
(c) Beginning January 10, 1999, the Department of Finance shall report annually to the Legislature on the extent to which funds available under subdivision (a) have not been spent and may reallocate the unexpended balances so as to better meet the need for services.
(d) No later than September 1, 2001, the department in consultation with relevant stakeholders, which may include the County Welfare Directors Association and the County Behavioral Health Directors Association of California, shall develop the allocation methodology for these funds, including the specific components to be considered in allocating the funds.
