                              return to court. Electronic monitoring that is funded under this program may only be used in limited cases after other less
                              restrictive interventions are deemed insufficient to enhance public safety and to ensure the defendants return to court.
                         (f)

                         (e)
                            The contractor does not pay wages and benefits to its most highly compensated executive and managerial employees that are

                            The Judicial Council shall provide an annual report to the Legislature providing an evaluation of pretrial programs and practices,
                              and shall include any changes made to the pretrial allocation.
                         14.

                              Welfare and Institutions Code, be reduced by more than 25 percent compared to the 2025–26 fiscal year, unless the qualified
                              legal services project does
                              					 not apply.

                              agency activities requiring information typically obtained through CLETS, and the identification of any additional resources
                              or statutory changes needed to ensure CLETS functionality and access. The Department of Motor Vehicles shall fully cooperate
                              with the Department of Justice in the preparation of this report.

                              					 Department of Justice shall report to the Department of Finance and the Joint Legislative Budget Committee annually
                              on the use of all funds provided for these purposes by the Department of Justice in the prior fiscal year on or before August
                              1 of each year. The report shall include, but is not limited to, both of the following: (1) whether the state is using any
                              of the appropriated funds to contract with outside counsel, if any; and (2) each instance in which the Department of Justice
                              is taking administrative action authorized under state law to mitigate the impacts of actions taken by the federal government.
                              This reporting may be consolidated with the reporting required by Chapter 3 of the Statutes of 2025, First Extraordinary Session.

                         10.
                         No later than January 10, 2027, the department shall provide a framework for determining how firearm and ammunition workload
                           should be funded. This framework shall include, but is not limited to, the following information: identification of existing
                           and anticipated firearm or ammunition workload or costs by program area, clear explanations for department recommendations
                           on how, and from what fund source, each program area should be funded moving forward, the calculation of appropriate fees
                           by fund source and how such calculations were reached, and department recommendations for how frequently the fees should be
                           adjusted and the process by which they should be adjusted. This framework shall also include any recommendations for statutory
                           changes to improve operational or

                              for that purpose if performed by employees of the local agency or school district.
                         (b)

                              					 maximum amount of reimbursement provided in subprovision (a) may be exceeded only if the local agency or school district

                              without incurring the additional costs claimed by the local agency or school district.
                         4.
                            It is the intent of the Legislature that audits conducted by the Controller, or under the direction of the Controller, shall
                              be fiscal audits that focus on claims and disbursements, as provided for in Section 12410 of the Government Code. Any report,
                              audit, analysis, or evaluation issued by the Controller for the current fiscal year shall cite the specific statutory or constitutional
                              provision authorizing the preparation and release of the report, audit, analysis, or evaluation.

                              					 initial desk audit, the amount paid, the amount recouped, and the results of a final audit and subsequent funding adjustments.
                              The report is due on June 30 of the current fiscal year, and will cover the fourth quarter of the past fiscal year and the
                              first three quarters of the current fiscal year.

                              the report shall include an identification and explanation of any significant differences in actuarial assumptions or methodology
                              from any relevant similar types of assumptions or methodology used by the Public Employees’ Retirement System to estimate
                              state pension obligations. To avoid
                              					 duplication of effort and promote efficiency and cost-effectiveness, the Controller and the Department of Finance shall
                              coordinate in obtaining additional actuarial valuation services related to OPEB plan liabilities and assets attributable to
                              each of the state’s collective bargaining units or other state entities or groups. This provision does not obligate the state
                              to change the practice of funding health and dental benefits for annuitants currently required under state law.
                         8.

                              of Finance. The additional actuarial valuations shall only be performed to the extent resources exist, or if
                              					 funds are provided by the requesting agency.

                            The Department of Finance may reduce the amount of this appropriation by any amount necessary if the actual amount of Cap-and-Invest
                              auction proceed receipts are lower than projected and it determines the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund balance is projected
                              to be insufficient to support the full amount of this appropriation. The Department of Finance may

                              Gas Reduction Fund, to be transferred as needed to meet cash needs resulting from
                              					 the delay in receipt of Cap-and-Invest auction proceeds. All moneys so transferred shall be repaid as soon as sufficient
                              Cap-and-Invest auction proceeds have been collected to meet immediate cash needs, but not later than June 30 of the fiscal
                              year in which the loan was authorized. Interest charges may be waived pursuant to subdivision (e) of Section 16314 of the

                            Notwithstanding any other law, accounts receivable for recoveries as described in Provision 2 shall have no effect upon the
                              positive balance of the General Fund or the Health Care Deposit Fund. Notwithstanding any other law, moneys recovered as described
                              in this item that are required to be transferred from the Health Care Deposit Fund to the General Fund shall be credited by
                              the Controller to the General

                            Upon order of the Department of Finance and without regard to fiscal year, the General Fund shall make one or more loans available
                              not to exceed a cumulative total of $1,000,000,000 to be transferred as needed to the Health Care Deposit Fund to meet cash
                              needs. All moneys so transferred shall be repaid as soon as sufficient revenue or reimbursements have been collected to meet
                              immediate cash needs and in installments as revenue or reimbursements accumulate if the loan is outstanding for more than
                              one year.
                         5.
                            Notwithstanding any other law, the State Department of Health Care Services may give
                              					 public notice relative to proposing or amending any rule or regulation or administrative directive that could result
                              in increased costs in the Medi-Cal program only after approval by the Department of Finance. Additionally, any rule or regulation
                              adopted by the State Department of Health Care Services and any communication that increases costs in the Medi-Cal program
                              shall be effective only after the date upon which it is approved by the Department of Finance.
                         6.
                            Change orders to the medical or the dental fiscal intermediary contract for amounts exceeding a total cost of $250,000 shall
                              be approved by the Department of Finance not sooner than 30 days after written notification of the change order is provided
                              to the chairpersons of the fiscal and policy committees in each house of the Legislature and to the Chairperson of the Joint
                              					 Legislative Budget Committee, or not sooner than whatever lesser time after that notification as the chairperson of
                              the joint committee, or the chairperson’s designee, may determine. The semiannual estimates of Medi-Cal expenditures provided
                              to the Legislature in January and May may constitute the notification required by this provision.
                         7.
                            Recoveries of advances made to counties in prior years pursuant to Section 14153 of the Welfare and Institutions Code are
                              reappropriated to the Health Care Deposit Fund for reimbursement of those counties where allowable costs exceeded the amounts
                              advanced. Recoveries in excess of the amounts required to fully reimburse allowable costs shall be transferred to the General
                              Fund. When a projected deficiency exists in the California Medical Assistance Program, these funds, subject to notification
                              to
                              					 the Chairperson of the Joint Legislative Budget Committee, are appropriated and shall be expended as soon as practicable
                              for the state’s share of payments for medical care and services and county and other local assistance administration.
                         8.
                            The Department of Finance may transfer funds representing all or any portion of any estimated savings that are a result of
                              improvements in the Medi-Cal claims processing procedures from the Medi-Cal services budget or the support budget of the State
                              Department of Health Care Services (Item 4260-001-0001) to the fiscal intermediary budget item for purposes of making improvements
                              to the Medi-Cal claims system.
                         9.
                            Notwithstanding any other law, the Department of Finance may authorize the transfer of expenditure authority between schedules
                              within this item and between this item and Items 4260-102-0001, 4260-111-0001, 4260-114-0001, and 4260-117-0001 in order to
                              effectively administer the programs funded in these items. The Department of Finance may revise reimbursement authority in
                              this item in order to effectively administer the programs funded in those items. The Department of Finance shall notify the
                              Legislature within 10 days of authorizing such a transfer unless prior notification of the transfer has been included in the
                              Medi-Cal estimates submitted pursuant to Section 14100.5 of the Welfare and Institutions Code. The 10-day notification to
                              the Legislature shall include the reasons for the transfer, the fiscal assumptions used in calculating the transfer amount,
                              and any potential fiscal effects on the program from which funds are being transferred or for which funds are being
                              					 reduced.
                         10.
                            If a federal grant that provides 75 percent federal financial participation to allow individuals in nursing homes to voluntarily
                              move into a community setting and still receive the same amount of funding for services is awarded to the State Department
                              of Health Care Services during the current fiscal year, then, notwithstanding any other law, the department may count expenditures
                              from the appropriation made to this item as state matching funds for that grant.
                         11.
                            Notwithstanding any other law, the Department of Finance may authorize an increase to this appropriation to address costs
                              resulting from adverse court rulings. The Department of Finance
                              					 shall provide a 30-day notice of any proposed increase to the Legislature. The notification shall include the specifics
                              of any cases with adverse rulings and the overall fiscal impact. Submission of the semiannual Medi-Cal estimate provided to
                              the Legislature in January and May shall be considered meeting the notification requirement of this provision if the required
                              information is included in the estimate.
                         12.
                            To the extent practicable and consistent with existing procedures, the State Department of Health Care Services, in its sole
                              discretion, shall seek favorable terms from the federal government regarding the repayment of federal funds for state-only
                              populations in order to minimize the annual impact on the General Fund in any individual fiscal year.
                         13.
                            Notwithstanding any other law, the Department of Finance may adjust amounts in this item, Item 4260-111-0001, or any other
                              related item resulting from the State Department of Health Care Services obtaining federal approval to claim federal financial
                              participation for expenditures associated with Designated State Health Programs as part of the CalAIM Demonstration. Within
                              30 days of making any adjustment pursuant to this provision, the Department of Finance shall report the adjustment in writing
                              to the Joint Legislative Budget Committee. Submission of the semiannual Medi-Cal estimate provided to the Legislature in January
                              and May shall be considered meeting the reporting requirement of this provision if the required information is included in
                              the estimate.
                         13.5.

                         Notwithstanding Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section 11340) of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code, the

                           means of provider bulletin or similar instructions, without taking any further regulatory action.
                         14.
                         (a)
                            The State Department of Health Care Services may enter into exclusive or nonexclusive contracts on a bid, non-bid, or negotiated
                              basis with a drug rebate aggregator or another entity that provides rebate aggregation services to consolidate and manage

                         (b)
                            Notwithstanding Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section 11340) of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code, the
                              State
                              					 Department of Health Care Services may implement, interpret, or make specific this section, in whole or in part, by
                              means of plan or county letters, information notices, plan or provider bulletins, or other similar instructions without taking
                              any further regulatory action.
                         15.
                            Notwithstanding Section 16531.1 of the Government Code, the General Fund cash loans made to the Medical Providers Interim
                              Payment Fund in the 2024–25 and 2025–26 fiscal years are available over the 2024–25 and 2025–26 fiscal years for programs
                              funded within this item. No later than June 30, 2034, an allocation from the General Fund shall be made to recognize for budgetary
                              financial reporting the cost of the loans made to the Medical Providers Interim Payment Fund in the 2024–25 and 2025–26 fiscal
                              years. The Director of Finance may order the repayment of all or a
                              					 portion of the loans sooner if the Department of Finance, in consultation with the State Department of Health Care Services,
                              determines that the funds appropriated in this item exceed the required costs for programs funded within the item.
                         16.
                            The Legislature finds that the total funds appropriated in this item exceeds the amount of General Fund revenue appropriated
                              to support the Medi-Cal program prior to the effective date of Chapter 7.5 (commencing with Section 14199.100) of Part 3 of
                              Division 9 of the Welfare and Institutions Code (Proposition 35). The Legislature further finds that, for purposes of Proposition
                              35, increases in Medi-Cal base managed care capitation rates reflect an expansion of healthcare benefits, healthcare services,
                              health-care workforce, and payment rates above and beyond those already in effect or in
                              					 existence as of January 1, 2024, and are in addition to existing reimbursement rates and any other payments made by
                              the department as of January 1, 2024, and do not supplant amounts that would otherwise be payable by a Medi-Cal managed care
                              plan or the department, as applicable, to a recipient of moneys provided by Article 4 (commencing with Section 14199.109)
                              of Chapter 7.5 of Part 3 of Division 9 of the Welfare and Institutions Code.
                         17.
                         Of the funds appropriated in Schedule (3), $2,000,000 is available for the H.R. 1 Navigators for Clinics Program.
                         (a)
                         These funds will be made available as a reimbursement to the General Fund, subject to the deposit of nonstate money made
                           					 to the State Department of Health Care Services and made with the intent for the exclusive use of the H.R. 1 Navigators
                           for Clinics Program.
                         (b)
                         The State Department of Health Care Services shall seek any necessary federal approvals for purposes of obtaining federal
                           funding for activities conducted under this item.
                         (c)
                         Notwithstanding any other law, these funds shall be allocated for Medi-Cal outreach and enrollment activities.
                         (d)
                         For purposes of
                           					 implementing this provision, the State Department of Health Care Services may enter into exclusive or nonexclusive contracts,
                           or amend existing contracts, on a bid or negotiated basis. Notwithstanding any other law, contracts entered into or amended
                           pursuant to this subdivision shall be exempt from Chapter 6 (commencing with Section 14825) of Part 5.5 of Division 3 of Title
                           2 of the Government Code, Section 19130 of the Government Code, and Part 2 (commencing with Section 10100) of Division 2 of
                           the Public Contract Code, and the State Administrative Manual, and shall be exempt from the review or approval of any division
                           of the Department of General Services.
                         (e)
                         Notwithstanding Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section 11340) of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code, the
                           State Department of Health Care
                           					 Services may implement, interpret, or make specific this provision, in whole or in part, by means of all-county letters,

                         1.
                         (a)
                            Funds appropriated in this item shall not be encumbered unless every rule or regulation adopted and every all-county letter
                              issued by the State Department of Social Services that adds to the costs of any program is approved by the Department of Finance
                              as to the availability of funds before it becomes effective. In making the determination as to availability of funds to meet
                              the expenditures of a rule, regulation, or all-county letter that would increase the costs of a
                              					 program, the Department of Finance shall consider the amount of the proposed increase on an annualized basis, the effect
                              the change would have on the expenditure limitations for the program set forth in this act, the extent to which the rule,
                              regulation, or all-county letter constitutes a deviation from the premises under which the expenditure limitations were prepared,
                              and any additional factors relating to the fiscal integrity of the program or the state’s fiscal situation.
                         (b)
                            Notwithstanding Sections 28.00 and 28.50, the availability of funds contained in this item for rules, regulations, or all-county
                              letters that add to program costs funded from the General Fund in excess of $500,000 on an annual basis, including those that
                              are the result of a federal regulation, but excluding those that are (1)
                              					 specifically required as a result of the enactment of a federal or state law or (2) included in the appropriation made
                              by this act, shall not be approved by the Department of Finance sooner than 30 days after notification in writing to the chairpersons
                              of the committees in each house of the Legislature that consider appropriations and the Chairperson of the Joint Legislative
                              Budget Committee, or sooner than such lesser time after notification as the chairperson of the joint committee, or the chairperson’s
                              designee, may in each instance determine.
                         2.
                            Notwithstanding Chapter 1 (commencing with Section 18000) of Part 6 of Division 9 of the Welfare and Institutions Code, a
                              loan not to exceed $1,485,361,000 shall be made available from the General Fund, from funds not otherwise appropriated, to:
                              (a) cover the costs of a program or programs
                              					 when the federal funds have been delayed or funds in any subaccount within the Local Revenue Fund have not been deposited
                              prior to the usual time for the state to transmit payment to the counties or (b) ensure cash disbursement needs in this item
                              are met when abatements have not yet posted in time for disbursement. For this purpose, the Department of Finance may authorize
                              an augmentation to this item to ensure cash disbursement requirements are met. This loan from the General Fund shall be repaid

                              letter issued as a result of the enactment of a federal or state law, the adoption of a federal regulation, or a court action,
                              during the 2026–27 fiscal year that are within or in excess of amounts appropriated in this act for that year.
                         (b)
                            If the Department of Finance determines that the estimate of expenditures will exceed the
                              					 expenditures authorized for this item, the department shall so report to the Legislature. At the time the report is
                              made, the amount of the appropriation made in this item shall be increased by the amount of the excess unless and until otherwise
                              provided by law.
                         5.
                            Nonfederal funds appropriated in this item which have been budgeted to meet the state’s Temporary Assistance for Needy Families
                              maintenance-of-effort requirement established pursuant to the federal Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation
                              Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-193 (Aug. 22, 1996) 110 Stat. 2105) shall not be expended in any way that would cause their disqualification
                              as a federally allowable maintenance-of-effort expenditure.
                         6.
                            In the event of a declared disaster and upon county request, the State Department of Social Services may act in the place
                              of any county and assume direct responsibility for the administration of eligibility and grant determination. The Department
                              of Finance may authorize the transfer of funds from this item and Item 5180-101-0890 to Items 5180-001-0001 and 5180-001-0890,
                              for this purpose.

                              Section 16-401.15), in the event a county fails to reimburse the EBT contractor for settlement of EBT transactions made against
                              the county’s cash
                              					 assistance programs, the state is required to pay the contractor. The State Department of Social Services may use funds
                              from this item to reimburse the EBT contractor for settlement on behalf of the county. The county shall be required to reimburse
                              the department for the county’s settlement via direct payment or administrative offset.
                         8.
                            The Department of Finance is authorized to approve expenditures for the California Food Assistance Program in those amounts
                              made necessary by changes in the CalFresh Program Standard Utility Allowance, including changes that result from midyear Standard

                              made in this item shall be increased by the amount of the excess unless and until otherwise provided by law.
                         9.

                              to need.
                         (2)

                              for CalWORKs Stage 3 if the estimate of expenditures, as determined by the Department of Finance, will exceed the expenditures
                              authorized in Schedule (3). The Department of Finance shall report any augmentation pursuant to this paragraph to the Joint
                              Legislative Budget Committee. At the
                              					 time the report is made, the amount of the appropriation made in Schedule (3) shall be increased by the amount of the
                              augmentation.
                         (3)
                            An augmentation may be authorized not sooner than 30 days after notification in writing of the necessity to exceed the limitations

                              be approved only in order to cover increases in costs that are consistent with assumptions of this act. This provision shall
                              not be construed to treat Stage 3 as an entitlement.
                         (b)

                              loan not to exceed $400,417,000 shall be made available from the General Fund, from funds not otherwise appropriated, to cover

                              the program or programs become available.
                         2.
                            In the event of a declared disaster and upon county request, the State Department of Social Services may act in the place
                              of any county and assume direct responsibility for the administration of eligibility and grant determination. The Department
                              of Finance may authorize the transfer of funds from this item and Item 5180-141-0890 to Items 5180-001-0001 and 5180-001-0890,

                              approve expenditures in those amounts made necessary by a court action or changes in caseload that are in excess of amounts
                              appropriated in this act. If the Department of Finance determines that the estimate of expenditures will exceed the expenditures
                              authorized for this item, the department shall so report to the Legislature. At the time the report is made, the amount of
                              the appropriation made by this item shall be increased by the amount of the excess unless and until otherwise provided by

                         5.

                              Act of 1996 (P.L. 104-193) shall not be expended in any way that would cause their disqualification as a federally allowable
                              maintenance-of-effort expenditure.

                         10.
                            The Department of Finance may authorize the transfer of amounts in this item to Item 5180-001-0001 in order to fund the costs

                         (a)
                         Of the funds appropriated in Schedule (1), $179,774,000 is for the support of activities related to the Child Welfare Services-California
                           Automated Response and Engagement System (CWS-CARES) project. Expenditure of these funds is contingent upon the CWS-CARES
                           project receiving project continuation approval from the Department of Technology. This amount may be augmented from unspent
                           appropriations and augmentation amounts authorized in prior years upon approval by the Department of Finance. In providing
                           approval of any augmentation, the Department of Finance, in consultation with the Department of
                           					 Technology, shall consider verified satisfactory progress toward milestones associated with the CWS-CARES Product Roadmap,
                           product adoption, and the roadmap change management process. Satisfactory progress shall be defined as: (1) The completion
                           of planned product milestones, including all planned data conversion, hardening, and testing without significant deviation
                           from the baseline project cost, schedule, and scope in the most recent Special Project Report; (2) Incorporation of relevant
                           end user feedback into product design, development, and implementation, to the extent possible, without significant increases
                           in the total CWS-CARES project cost, schedule, and scope; (3) Demonstrable progress made towards user adoption that is consistent
                           with the project’s strategic plan for user engagement, communication, and adoption, including clearly defined processes that
                           measure and report on stakeholder engagements with the project (such as, for example, stakeholder impact assessments). Such
                           an augmentation shall be
                           					 aligned with planned project activities and shall not be used to increase total project costs. Any such augmentation
                           shall be authorized no less than 30 calendar days following written notification to the Chairperson of the Joint Legislative
                           Budget Committee, or a lesser period of time requested by the Department of Finance and approved by the Chairperson of the
