Section 21.00 of the Budget Act of 2023 is amended to read:

SEC. 21.00.
The Department of Finance may delay until not later than March 1, 2024, the authority to expend any one-time funding provided in Section 2.00 of this act not sooner than 10 days after notification in writing to the chairpersons of the budget committees in both houses of the Legislature, the Joint Legislative Budget Committee, and the appropriate subcommittees in both houses of the Legislature. The Chairperson of the Joint Legislative Budget Committee, or the chairperson’s designee, may shorten or waive that 10-day period by written notification to the Department of Finance. This authority shall expire on March 1, 2024, unless extended in later legislation.
(a)It is the intent of the Legislature that funds appropriated to state agencies and administered by third-party administrators on behalf of the state to accomplish the purpose of the appropriation shall be subject to reversion to the extent those funds have not been expended or encumbered by a valid obligation that is consistent with the purpose of the appropriation. It is the intent of the Legislature that appropriated funds shall not be encumbered solely by reason of the fact that the funds are administered by a third-party administrator except to the extent that the funds are appropriated for the reasonable costs incurred by the administrator.
(b)The Legislature may, in future acts, revert unexpended or unencumbered appropriations to the funds from which the appropriations were made if the state agency to which the funds were appropriated authorized a third-party administrator to allocate, expend, or encumber the appropriated funds. However, the Legislature shall not revert any appropriated funds that have already been allocated, expended, or encumbered to cover the reasonable costs of a third-party administrator to administer those funds. For purposes of this section, funds shall not be considered encumbered solely by reason of their administration by the third-party administrator.

SEC. 267.

Section 28.00 of the Budget Act of 2023 is amended to read:

SEC. 28.00.

(a) It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this section to provide flexibility for administrative approval of augmentations for the expenditure of unanticipated federal funds or other nonstate funds in cases that meet the criteria set forth in this section. However, this section does not provide an alternative budget process, and proposals for additional spending ordinarily should be considered in the annual State Budget or other state legislation. Specifically, augmentations for items which the administration had knowledge to include in its 2023–24 budget plan should not be submitted through the process provided by this section. Augmentations for items which can be deferred to the 2024–25 fiscal year should be included in the administration’s 2024–25 fiscal year budget proposals.

(b) The Director of Finance may authorize the augmentation of the amount available for expenditure for any program, project, or function in the schedule of any appropriation in this act or any additional program, project, or function equal to the amount of any additional, unanticipated funds that the director estimates will be received by the state during the 2023–24 fiscal year from any agency of local government or the federal government, or from any other nonstate source, provided that the additional funding meets all of the following requirements:

(1) The funds will be expended for a purpose that is consistent with state law.

(2) The funds are made available to the state under conditions permitting their use only for a specified purpose, and the additional expenditure proposed under this section would apply to that specified funding purpose.

(3) Acceptance of the additional funding does not impose on the state any requirement to commit or expend new state funds for any program or purpose.

(4) The need exists to expend the additional funding during the 2023–24 fiscal year.

(c) In order to receive consideration for an augmentation, an agency shall either (1) notify the director within 45 days of receiving official notice of the availability of additional, unanticipated funds, or (2) explain in writing to the director why that notification was infeasible or impractical. In either case, the recipient agency shall provide the director a copy of the official notice of fund availability.

(d) The director also may reduce any program, project, or function whenever the director determines that funds to be received will be less than the amount taken into consideration in the schedule.

(e) Any augmentation or reduction that exceeds either (1) $400,000 or (2) 10 percent of the amount available for expenditure in the affected program, project, or function may be authorized not sooner than 30 days after notification in writing of the necessity therefor is provided to the chairpersons of the committees in each house of the Legislature that consider appropriations, the chairpersons of the committees and the appropriate subcommittees in each house of the Legislature that consider the State Budget, and the Chairperson of the Joint Legislative Budget Committee, or not sooner than whatever lesser time the chairperson of the joint committee, or the chairperson’s designee, may in each instance determine. With regard to any proposed augmentation, the notification shall state the basis for the determination by the director that the augmentation meets each of the requirements set forth in subdivisions (b) and (c). This notification shall include the date that the recipient department received official notice of the additional funds, and a copy of the agency’s written explanation if a 45-day notice was not provided to the director. This notification requirement does not apply to federal funds related to caseload increases in the Medi-Cal program, California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs), and the Supplemental Security Income/State Supplementary Payment (SSI/SSP) Program.

(f) Any personnel action that is dependent on funds subject to this section shall not be effective until after the provisions of this section have been complied with. Any authorization made pursuant to this section shall remain in effect for the period the director may determine in each instance, but in no event after June 30, 2024.

(g)From July 1, 2023 until September 15, 2023, this section does not apply to funding received for the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment Program pursuant to Section 1702 of Title 47 of the United States Code. It is the intent of the Legislature that these federal funds are subject to appropriation in the 2023 legislative session, if possible.
