	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 85, Committee on Budget. Health and human services.
   (1) Existing federal law provides for allocation of federal funds
through the federal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)
block grant program to eligible states, with California's version of
this program being known as the California Work Opportunity and
Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs) program. Under the CalWORKs
program, each county provides cash assistance and other benefits to
qualified low-income families and individuals who meet specified
eligibility criteria, including participating in specified
welfare-to-work activities.
   This bill would increase aid payments by 5% as of March 1, 2014,
and would specify a process by which additional grant increases could
be made depending on projected revenue and costs.
   (2) Existing law establishes the Local Revenue Fund, a
continuously appropriated fund, that allocates Vehicle License Fund
moneys and sales tax moneys. Existing law creates various accounts
and subaccounts within that fund, including the Health Subaccount and
the Social Services Subaccount, each of which get funding from the
Local Revenue Fund.
   This bill would make an appropriation by reallocating funds in the
2012-13 fiscal year and subsequent fiscal years to change the
relative percentages of funds from those 2 sources that are allocated
to the Health Subaccount and the Social Services Subaccount.
   (3) Existing law provides for the establishment of the Sales Tax
Growth Account in the continuously appropriated Local Revenue Fund
for the allocation of sales and use tax growth revenues to local
government.
   This bill would delete specified subaccounts in the Sales Tax
Growth Account and would add a Family Support Subaccount and a Child
Poverty and Family Supplemental Support Subaccount to the Sales Tax
Account. The bill would provide funding for the Child Poverty and
Family Supplemental Support Subaccount from the Sales Tax Growth
Account in the 2013-14 fiscal year and from sales tax in later fiscal
years. The bill would require the transfer of funds from the Child
Poverty and Family Services Supplemental Support Subaccount to the
counties for use to support the CalWORKs program, as specified.
   This bill would establish funding for the Family Support
Subaccount from the Health Subaccount. The bill would require the
transfer of funds from the Family Services Support Subaccount to the
counties for use to support the CalWORKs program, as specified.
    Under existing law, cities and counties that receive funds from
the Local Revenue Fund are required to establish and maintain a local
health and welfare trust fund comprised of specified accounts.
   This bill would also require counties to establish a family
support account in their local health and welfare trust accounts. By
requiring additional duties from the counties, this bill would impose
a state-mandated local program.
   (4) Existing law requires counties, through a choice of
methodologies, including County Medical Services Programs, nonpublic
hospitals, and public hospitals, to provide specified health services
eligible county residents who are indigent. Funding for this
program, under existing law, has come from the Health Subaccount.
   This bill would allow counties to receive funding from the Health
Subaccount by either proving actual costs or by electing to receive
60% of the funds that would otherwise have been allocated to them,
and would establish a default contribution for counties that fail to
make a choice or to inform the Director of Health Care Services by
December 4, 2013. The bill would place the difference between prior
fiscal year contributions to counties from the Health Subaccount and
the new contributions to counties in the Family Support Subaccount,
to be used by counties for CalWORKs, as specified.
   This bill would establish processes by which the counties prove
actual costs to the Department of Health Care Services, as specified.

   (5) Existing law provides for the Medi-Cal program, which is
administered by the State Department of Health Care Services, under
which qualified low-income individuals receive health care services.
The Medi-Cal program is, in part, governed and funded by federal
Medicaid Program provisions. Under existing law, eligibility for the
Medi-Cal program is expanding.
   This bill would require specified percentages of newly eligible
beneficiaries to be assigned to public hospital health systems in an
eligible county, if applicable, until the county public hospital
health system meets its enrollment target, as defined. The bill would
also require, subject to specified criteria, Medi-Cal managed care
plans serving newly eligible beneficiaries to pay county public
hospital health systems for services provided to newly eligible
beneficiaries in amounts that are no less than the cost of providing
those services, as specified.
   (6) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse
local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the
state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that
reimbursement.
   This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates
determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state,
reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these
statutory provisions.
   (7) This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately
as a bill providing for appropriations related to the Budget Bill.
   Appropriation: yes.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 11450.025 is added to the Welfare and
Institutions Code, to read:
   11450.025.  (a) Notwithstanding any other law, effective on March
1, 2014, the maximum aid payments in effect on July 1, 2012, as
specified in subdivision (b) of Section 11450.02, shall be increased
by 5 percent.
   (b) Commencing in 2014 and annually thereafter, on or before
January 10 and on or before May 14, the Director of Finance shall do
all of the following:
   (1) Estimate the amount of growth revenues pursuant to subdivision
(f) of Section 17606.10 that will be deposited in the Child Poverty
and Family Supplemental Support Subaccount of the Local Revenue Fund
for the current fiscal year and the following fiscal year and the
amounts in the subaccount carried over from prior fiscal years.
   (2) For the current fiscal year and the following fiscal year,
determine the total cost of providing the increase described in
subdivision (a), as well as any other increase in the maximum aid
payments subsequently provided only under this section, after
adjusting for updated projections of CalWORKs costs associated with
caseload changes, as reflected in the local assistance subvention
estimates prepared by the State Department of Social Services and
released with the annual Governor's Budget and subsequent May
Revision update.
   (3) If the amount estimated in paragraph (1) plus the amount
projected to be deposited for the current fiscal year into the Child
Poverty and Family Supplemental Support Subaccount pursuant to
subparagraph (3) of subdivision (e) of Section 17600.15 is greater
than the amount determined in paragraph (2), the difference shall be
used to calculate the percentage increase to the CalWORKs maximum aid
payment standards that could be fully funded on an ongoing basis
beginning the following fiscal year.
   (4) If the amount estimated in paragraph (1) plus the amount
projected to be deposited for the current fiscal year into the Child
Poverty and Family Supplemental Support Subaccount pursuant to
subparagraph (3) of subdivision (e) of Section 17600.15 is equal to
or less than the amount determined in paragraph (2), no additional
increase to the CalWORKs maximum aid payment standards shall be
provided in the following fiscal year in accordance with this
section.
   (5) (A) Commencing with the 2014-15 fiscal year and for all fiscal
years thereafter, if changes to the estimated amounts determined in
paragraphs (1) or (2), or both, as of the May Revision, are enacted
as part of the final budget, the Director of Finance shall repeat,
using the same methodology used in the May Revision, the calculations
described in paragraphs (3) and (4) using the revenue projections
and grant costs assumed in the enacted budget.
   (B) If a calculation is required pursuant to subparagraph (A), the
Department of Finance shall report the result of this calculation to
the appropriate policy and fiscal committees of the Legislature upon
enactment of the Budget Act.
   (c) An increase in maximum aid payments calculated pursuant to
paragraph (3) of subdivision (b), or pursuant to paragraph (5) of
subdivision (b) if applicable, shall become effective on October 1 of
the following fiscal year.
   (d) (1) An increase in maximum aid payments provided in accordance
with this section shall be funded with growth revenues from the
Child Poverty and Family Supplemental Support Subaccount in
accordance with paragraph (3) of subdivision (e) of Section 17600.15
and subdivision (f) of Section 17606.10, to the extent funds are
available in that subaccount.
   (2) If funds received by the Child Poverty and Family Supplemental
Support Subaccount in a particular fiscal year are insufficient to
fully fund any increases to maximum aid payments made pursuant to
this section, the remaining cost for that fiscal year will be
addressed through existing provisional authority included in the
annual Budget Act. Additional grant increases shall not be provided
until and unless the ongoing cumulative costs of all prior grant
increases provided pursuant this section are fully funded by the
Child Poverty and Family Supplemental Support Subaccount.
   (e) Notwithstanding Section 15200, counties shall not be required
to contribute a share of cost to cover the costs of increases to
maximum aid payments made pursuant to this section.
  SEC. 2.  Article 6.6 (commencing with Section 14199.1) is added to
Chapter 7 of Part 3 of Division 9 of the Welfare and Institutions
Code, to read:

      Article 6.6.  Medicaid Expansion Under The Federal Affordable
Care Act


   14199.1.  (a) The Legislature finds and declares the following:
   (1) Beginning January 1, 2014, many low-income individuals will be
eligible for Medi-Cal coverage pursuant to federal law, as part of
health care reform.
   (2) In implementing this expansion of Medi-Cal coverage, it is
critical to maintain the role of county public hospital health
systems that have traditionally served Medi-Cal and uninsured
beneficiaries to ensure adequate access to care is available for the
new Medi-Cal members, and to preserve the policy goal to support and
strengthen traditional safety net providers who treat a high volume
of uninsured and Medi-Cal patients.
   (b) For purposes of this section, the following definitions shall
apply:
   (1) "County public hospital health system" shall have the meaning
provided in subdivision (f) of Section 17612.2.
   (2) "Default members" means newly eligible beneficiaries enrolled
in each Medi-Cal managed care plan who do not affirmatively select a
primary care provider as part of the enrollment process.
   (3) "Enrollment target" means the number of newly eligible
beneficiaries assigned to primary care providers within a county
public hospital health system, not to exceed the number of
unduplicated Low Income Health Program and uninsured patient count in
the county public hospital health system. The unduplicated patient
count shall be certified by the county public hospital health system
and provided to the department, along with its proposed enrollment
target, by November 30, 2013. The county public hospital health
system may notify the department of a proposed reduction to its
enrollment target based on its capacity to accept new patients. A
standardized protocol for determining the target shall be developed
by the department in consultation with the public hospital health
system counties.
   (4) "Low Income Health Program" shall mean the LIHP as defined in
subdivision (c) of Section 15909.1.
   (5) "Medi-Cal managed care plan" means an organization or entity
that enters into a contract with the department pursuant to Article
2.7 (commencing with Section 14087.3), Article 2.8 (commencing with
Section 14087.5), Article 2.81 (commencing with Section 14087.96),
Article 2.91 (commencing with Section 14089), or Chapter 8
(commencing with Section 14200).
   (6) "Newly eligible beneficiaries" shall have the meaning provided
in subdivision (s) of Section 17612.2.
   (7) "Primary care provider" means a primary care physician or
nonphysician medical practitioner, medical group, clinic, or a
medical home.
   (8) "Public hospital health system county" shall have the meaning
provided in subdivision (u) of Section 17612.2.
   (c) Subject to subdivision (d), default members who reside in a
public hospital health system county shall be assigned by each
Medi-Cal managed care plan in the county to a primary care provider
in accordance with the following:
   (1) Throughout the three-year period ending on December 31, 2016,
at least 75 percent of default members shall be assigned by each
Medi-Cal managed care plan to primary care providers within the
county public hospital health system until the county public hospital
health system meets its enrollment target.
   (2) Following the expiration of the three-year period set forth in
paragraph (1), at least 50 percent of default members shall be
assigned by each Medi-Cal managed care plan to primary care providers
within the county public hospital health system until the county
public hospital health system meets its applicable enrollment target.

   (3) Paragraphs (1) and (2) shall not apply with respect to a
county public hospital health system during any time period in which
the county public hospital health system meets or exceeds its
applicable target. For time periods during which paragraphs (1) and
(2) do not apply, default members shall be assigned to primary care
providers in the same manner as other Medi-Cal members of the
Medi-Cal managed care plan who do not affirmatively select primary
care providers. Medi-Cal managed care plans shall not modify the
assignment procedures due to the default assignment requirements of
this section with respect to primary care providers within the county
public hospital health system.
   (4) In implementing the assignment process set forth in paragraphs
(1) and (2), to the extent legally permissible and consistent with
federal and state privacy and patient confidentiality laws, each
Medi-Cal managed care plan shall first assign to a primary care
provider within the county public hospital health system those
default members who have accessed care within the county public
hospital health system two or more times within the past 12 months.
The department and the county public hospital health systems shall
work together to share patient information in order to provide the
Medi-Cal managed care plans with data demonstrating which default
members have accessed the county public hospital health system
providers prior to assignment to a primary care provider.
   (5) If at any time a county public hospital health system notifies
a contracted Medi-Cal managed care plan that it has reached its
maximum capacity for the assignment of default members, the
requirements set forth in paragraphs (1) and (2) shall not apply to
the Medi-Cal managed care plan so notified. Once the county public
hospital health system notifies a Medi-Cal managed care plan that it
has capacity to accept assignment of default members, the
requirements set forth in paragraphs (1) and (2) shall apply
effective on the first day of the month following that notice.
   (6) A Medi-Cal managed care plan shall not assign default members
to a primary care provider within the county public hospital health
system if that primary care provider has notified the Medi-Cal
managed care plan that it does not have capacity to accept new
patients.
   (d) The default process described in this section shall not apply
to Low Income Health Program enrollees subject to Section 14005.60.
   (e) Nothing set forth in this section shall alter, reduce, or
modify in any manner the way in which Medi-Cal managed care plans
assign other Medi-Cal members to the county public hospital health
systems.
   (f) (1) The department shall modify its contracts with the
Medi-Cal managed care plans in public hospital health system counties
to include the assignment requirements set forth in this section.
   (2) Each Medi-Cal managed care plan shall demonstrate and certify
that it has contracts or other arrangements in place with county
public hospital health systems that provide for implementing the
requirements of this section. To the extent a Medi-Cal managed care
plan is not compliant with any of the requirements of this section,
the department shall reduce by 25 percent the default assignment into
the Medi-Cal managed care plan with respect to all Medi-Cal
beneficiaries, as long as the other Medi-Cal managed care plan or
plans in that county have the capacity to receive the additional
default membership.
   (g) Nothing in this section shall modify the ability of newly
eligible beneficiaries to select or change their primary care
providers.
   (h) The department shall seek any necessary federal approvals to
implement the provisions of this section.
   14199.2.  (a) Subject to subdivision (e), Medi-Cal managed care
plans serving newly eligible beneficiaries, as defined in subdivision
(s) of Section 17612.2, shall pay county public hospital health
systems, as defined in subdivision (f) of Section 17612.2, for
services provided to newly eligible beneficiaries in amounts that are
no less than the cost of providing those services, including the
cost of network and out-of-network services that are charged to or
paid for by county public hospital health systems. For purposes of
this requirement, the cost of providing services shall mean the
amounts, including the federal and nonfederal share of all allowable
costs, determined in a manner consistent with the cost claiming
protocols developed for the federal Medicaid demonstration project
authorized under Section 1115 of the Social Security Act entitled the
"Bridge to Health Care Reform" (waiver number 11-W-00193/9),
including protocols pending federal approval, and under Section
14166.8.
   (b) Consistent with federal law, the capitation rates paid to
Medi-Cal managed care plans for newly eligible beneficiaries shall be
determined to reflect the obligations imposed by subdivision (a).
   (c) (1) Prior to the execution of a change order or contract
amendment between the department and a Medi-Cal managed care plan
providing for coverage of newly eligible beneficiaries, the Medi-Cal
managed care plan shall demonstrate and certify that it has contracts
or other arrangements in place with county public hospital health
systems that provide for payments for services meeting the
requirements of subdivision (a).
   (2) Each year, each Medi-Cal managed care plan shall provide to
the department an accounting of the payments made to demonstrate
compliance with subdivision (a). To the extent a Medi-Cal managed
care plan is not compliant with any of the requirements of this
section, the department shall reduce the default assignment into the
Medi-Cal managed care plan with respect to all Medi-Cal beneficiaries
by 25 percent, as long as the other Medi-Cal managed care plan or
plans in the county have the capacity to receive the additional
default membership.
   (d) A Medi-Cal managed care plan shall not impose a fee or
retention amount, or reduce other payments to a county public
hospital health system, that would result in a direct or indirect
reduction to the amounts required to be paid under subdivision (a).
   (e) (1) If a nonfederal share is necessary with respect to the
capitation rates described in subdivision (b), a county public
hospital health system or affiliated governmental entity shall have
the right to voluntarily provide intergovernmental transfers for the
nonfederal share of expenditures for the capitation rates described
in subdivision (b) with respect to the requirements in subdivision
(a). Only if the county public hospital health system or affiliated
governmental entity so chooses, the requirements in this section
shall apply. Notwithstanding any other law, the state shall not
assess the fee described in subdivision (d) of Section 14301.4, or
any other similar fee. Nothing in this section shall be construed to
require a county public hospital health system to provide the
nonfederal share for expenditures for purposes other than those
described in subdivision (a), or for expenditures that are otherwise
for Medi-Cal managed care beneficiaries who do not receive services
in the county public hospital health system.
   (2) Within 12 months following the end of each fiscal year, a
county public hospital system shall submit data to the department
demonstrating the payments received from Medi-Cal managed care plans
as required under subdivision (a). If the amount of the applicable
intergovernmental transfer provided by a county public hospital
system does not equal the nonfederal share of those payments, the
county hospital system and the department shall adjust the amount of
the intergovernmental transfer accordingly.
  SEC. 3.  Section 14301.5 is added to the Welfare and Institutions
Code, to read:
   14301.5.  (a) (1) To the extent federal financial participation is
not jeopardized and consistent with federal law, and subject to the
conditions set forth in subdivision (b), the department shall pay
Medi-Cal managed care plans rate range increases, as defined by
paragraph (4) of subdivision (b) of Section 14301.4, at a minimum
level of 75 percent of the rate range available with respect to all
enrollees who are newly eligible beneficiaries for purposes of this
section. If a nonfederal share is necessary to fund the rate range
increases, a county public hospital health system as defined in
subdivision (f) of Section 17612.2 or affiliated governmental entity
may voluntarily provide intergovernmental transfers for the
nonfederal share.
   (2) The increased payments to Medi-Cal managed care plans that
would be paid consistent with actuarial certification and enrollment
in the absence of this section, including, but not limited to,
payments described in Section 14182.15, shall not be reduced as a
consequence of payment under this section.
   (b) Payments to Medi-Cal managed care plans pursuant to
subdivision (a) are conditioned on all of the following:
   (1) The Medi-Cal managed care plan shall pay all of the rate range
increases provided under this section as additional payments to
county public hospital health systems for providing and making
available services to Medi-Cal enrollees of the plan.
   (2) The Medi-Cal managed care plan shall demonstrate that it has a
contract or other arrangement in place with county public hospital
health systems to provide additional payments to county public
hospital health systems for services rendered to Medi-Cal
beneficiaries that meet the requirements of paragraph (1). The
existence of those agreements or arrangements shall be reported to
the department by the county public hospital health system.
   (3) Additional payments described in paragraph (1) shall not
supplant amounts that would otherwise be payable by Medi-Cal managed
care plans to county public hospital health systems. A Medi-Cal
managed care plan shall not impose a fee or retention amount, or
reduce other payments to a county public hospital health system, that
would result in a direct or indirect reduction to these payments.
   (4) The county public hospital health system or affiliated
governmental entity voluntarily provides an intergovernmental
transfer of public funds to the state for use as the nonfederal
share, if any, of the increased capitation rates. Notwithstanding any
other provision of law, the department shall not assess the fee
described in subdivision (d) of Section 14301.4, or any other similar
fee.
   (c) To the extent a Medi-Cal managed care plan is not compliant
with any of the requirements imposed upon it pursuant to this
section, the department shall reduce by 25 percent the default
assignment into the Medi-Cal managed care plan with respect to all
Medi-Cal beneficiaries, as long as the other Medi-Cal managed care
plan or plans in that county have the capacity to receive the
additional default membership.

Health Account, Mental Health Account, and Social Services Account of
the local health and welfare trust fund of each city, county, and
city and county for the 1994-95 fiscal year general growth
allocations according to subdivisions (c) and (d). For the 1995-96
fiscal year and annually until the end of the 2012-13 fiscal year,
the Department of Finance shall prepare the schedule of allocations
of growth based upon the recalculation of the resource base as
provided by subdivision (c).
   (c) For the Mental Health Account, the Department of Finance shall
do all of the following:
   (1) Use the following sources as reported by the State Department
of Mental Health:
   (A) The final December 1992 distribution of resources associated
with Institutes for Mental Disease.
   (B) The 1990-91 fiscal year state hospitals and community mental
health allocations.
   (C) Allocations for services provided for under Chapter 1294 of
the Statutes of 1989.
   (2) Expand the resource base with the following nonrealigned

and county as reported by the State Department of Health Services in
a September 17, 1991, report of Indigent and Community Health
Resources.
   (e) The Department of Finance shall use these adjusted resource
bases for the Health Account and Mental Health Account to calculate
what the 1994-95 fiscal year General Growth Subaccount allocations
would have been, and together with 1994-95 fiscal year Base
Restoration Subaccount allocations, CMSP subaccount allocations,
equity allocations to the Health Account and Mental Health Account as
adjusted by subparagraph (E) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (c) of
Section 17606.05, and special equity allocations to the Health

Section 17606.15 reconstruct the 1994-95 fiscal year General Growth
Subaccount resource base for the 1995-96 allocation year for each
county, city, and city and county. Notwithstanding any other
provision of law, the actual 1994-95 general growth allocations shall
not become part of the realignment base allocations to each county,
city, and city and county. The total amounts distributed by the
Controller for general growth for the 1994-95 allocation year shall
be reallocated among the counties, cities, and city and county in the
1995-96 allocation year according to this paragraph, and shall be
included in the general growth resource base for the 1996-97
allocation year and each fiscal year thereafter. For the 1996-97
allocation year and fiscal years thereafter, the Department of
Finance shall update the base with actual growth allocations to the
Health Account, Mental Health Account, and Social Services Account of
each county, city, and city and county local health and welfare
trust fund in the prior year, and adjust for actual changes in

Subaccount to the Health Account.
   (3) Allocate to the Child Poverty and Family Supplemental Support
Subaccount in the Sales Tax Account the remainder of the funds in the
General Growth Subaccount.

subdivision (b) or paragraph (1) of subdivision (c) of Section
17600.50, the Director of Finance shall make a final determination of
the amount of the allocation attributable to each county and city
and county should have been pursuant to subdivision (d) of Section
17603 for the penultimate fiscal year.
   (b) The amount of the final determination amount for each county
or city and county shall be subtracted from the amount attributable
to each county or city and county that was actually transferred in
the applicable fiscal year. This calculation shall be made at the
same time as the final determination in subdivision (a).
   (c) The Director of Finance shall promptly notify every affected
county and the Joint Legislative Budget Committee of the
determinations made pursuant to subdivisions (a) and (b).
   (d) If the difference calculated in subdivision (b) is negative,

funds shall be deposited in that county's health account of the local
health and welfare trust fund. Notwithstanding Section 13340 of the
Government Code, there is hereby continuously appropriated to the
Director of Finance the funds necessary to pay any amounts owed
pursuant to this subdivision.
   (e) If the difference determined in subdivision (b) is positive,
the applicable county or city and county shall pay the difference to
the family support account within the health and welfare trust fund
of that city or city and county. If within three months of receipt of
the determination made in subdivision (b), the county or city and
county has failed to make the payment, then the Director of Finance
shall provide a supplemental schedule to the Controller to have 1.5
times the amount of the determination transferred from the next
Health Subaccount allocations of the applicable county or city and
county to the Family Support Subaccount until 1.5 times the amount
owed has been deposited in the family support account.
   17610.5.  (a) There is hereby created a 2013-14 Special Holding
Account in the Family Support Subaccount. Starting January 1, 2014,
and ending July 25, 2014, funds transferred to the Family Support
Subaccount that are attributable to every county or city and county
that chose to be subject to paragraph (1) of subdivision (b), or
paragraph (1) of subdivision (c), of Section 17600.50 shall be placed
in the 2013-14 Special Holding Account.
   (b) No later than April 20, 2014, the State Department of Health
Care Services shall provide an updated savings estimate for every
county and city and county that chose to be subject to paragraph (1)
of subdivision (b), or paragraph (1) of subdivision (c) of Section
17600.50 to the Department of Finance. On or before May 14, 2014, the
Department of Finance shall, for each county or city and county
described in subdivision (a), determine whether the actual savings
for each county or city and county is greater or lesser than the
amount of funds deposited into the Special Holding Account.
   (c) If the revised estimate of savings is greater than the funds
estimated by the Department of Finance to be deposited in the Special
Holding Account, the funds shall be transferred back to the Family
Support Subaccount by June 30, 2014, for allocation.
   (d) If the revised estimate of savings is less than the funds
estimated by the Department of Finance to be deposited in the Special
Holding Account, the difference between the amount estimated to be
transferred and the revised estimated savings amount shall be
transferred to the health account of the local health and welfare
trust fund of every affected county or city and county pursuant to a
schedule prepared by the Director of Finance in consultation with the
California State Association of Counties and provided to the
Controller.
   (e) This section shall remain in effect only until January 1,
2015, and as of that date is repealed, unless a later enacted
statute, that is enacted before January 1, 2015, deletes or extends
that date.

fiscal year, for every county subject to subdivision (a) or (d) or
that selected the option pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision
(b), or paragraph (2) of subdivision (c), of Section 17600.50, the
Director of Finance shall make a final determination of how much the
allocation attributable to each county and city and county should
have been pursuant to subdivision (d) of Section 17603 for the prior
fiscal year. This determination shall be based on the sharing ratios
provided in Section 17600.50.
   (b) The amount of the final determination amount for each county
or city and county shall be subtracted from the amount attributable
to each county or city and county that was actually transferred in
the applicable fiscal year.
   (c) At the same time the Director of Finance makes the
determination in subdivision (a), the director shall adjust the
schedules provided to the Controller pursuant to subdivision (d) of
Section 17603. Notwithstanding Section 17603, the Controller shall
only adjust amounts payable by the County Medical Services Program in
order to reconcile underpayment or overpayment made to the Family
Support Subaccount by the County Medical Services Program and
counties participating in the County Medical Services Program in the
preceding fiscal year.
   (d) The Director of Finance shall notify every affected county and
the Joint Legislative Budget Committee of the determinations made
pursuant to subdivisions (a) and (b).
  SEC. 20.  Article 12 (commencing with Section 17612.1) is added to
Chapter 6 of Part 5 of Division 9 of the Welfare and Institutions
Code, to read:

      Article 12.  Redirection of Realignment


   17612.1.  (a) For the 2013-14 fiscal year and each fiscal year
thereafter, for each public hospital health system county that
selected the option in paragraph (1) of subdivision (c) of Section
17600.50, the total amount that would be payable for the fiscal year
from 1991 Health Realignment funds under Sections 17603, 17604,

deposited by the Controller into the local health and welfare trust
fund health account of the county in the absence of this section
shall be determined.
   (b) The redirected amount determined for the public hospital
health system county pursuant to Section 17612.3 shall be divided by
the total determined in subdivision (a), except that, with respect to
the County of Los Angeles, the redirected amount shall be determined
by taking into account the adjustments required in Section 17612.5.
   (c) The resulting fraction determined in subdivision (b) shall be

shall apply:
   (a) "Adjusted patient day" means a county public hospital health
system's total number of patient census days, as defined by the
Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development, multiplied by
the following fraction: the numerator that is the sum of the county
public hospital health system's total gross revenue for all services
provided to all patients, including nonhospital services, and the
denominator that is the sum of the county public hospital health
system's gross inpatient revenue. The adjusted patient days shall
pertain to those services that are provided by the county public
hospital health system and shall exclude services that are provided
by contract or out-of-network clinics or hospitals.
        (b) "Base year" means the fiscal year ending three years
prior to the fiscal year for which the redirected amount is
calculated.
   (c) "Blended CPI trend factor" means the blended percent change
applicable for the fiscal year that is derived from the nonseasonally
adjusted Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U),
United States City Average, for Hospital and Related Services,
weighted at 75 percent, and for Medical Care Services, weighted at 25
percent, all as published by the United States Bureau of Labor
Statistics, computed as follows:
   (1) For each prior fiscal year within the period to be trended
through the current fiscal year, the annual average of the monthly
index amounts shall be determined separately for the Hospital and
Related Services Index and the Medical Care Services Index.
   (2) The year-to-year percentage changes in the annual averages
determined in paragraph (1) for each of the Hospital and Related
Services Index and the Medical Care Services Index shall be
calculated.
   (3) A weighted average annual percentage change for each
year-to-year period shall be calculated from the determinations made
in paragraph (2), with the percentage changes in the Hospital and
Related Services Index weighted at 75 percent, and the percentage
changes in the Medical Care Services Index weighted at 25 percent.
The resulting average annual percentage changes shall be expressed as
a fraction, and increased by 1.00.
   (4) The product of the successive year-to-year amounts determined
in paragraph (3) shall be the blended CPI trend factor.
   (d) "Cost containment limit" means the public hospital health
system county's Medi-Cal costs and uninsured costs determined for the
2014-15 fiscal year and each subsequent fiscal year, adjusted as
follows:
   (1) Notwithstanding paragraphs (2) to (4), inclusive, at the
public hospital health system county's option it shall be deemed to
comply with the cost containment limit if the county demonstrates
that its total health care costs, including nursing facility, mental
health, and substance use disorder services, that are not limited to
Medi-Cal and uninsured patients, for the fiscal year did not exceed
its total health care costs in the base year, multiplied by the
blended CPI trend factor for the fiscal year. A county electing this
option shall elect by November 1 following the end of the fiscal
year, and submit its supporting reports for meeting this requirement,
including the annual report of financial transactions required to be
submitted to the Controller pursuant to Section 53891 of the
Government Code.
   (2) (A) The public hospital health system county's Medi-Cal costs,
uninsured costs, and other entity intergovernmental transfer amounts
for the fiscal year shall be added together. Medi-Cal costs,
uninsured costs, and other entity intergovernmental transfer amounts
for purposes of this paragraph are as defined in subdivisions (q),
(t), and (y) for the relevant fiscal period.
   (B) The public hospital health system county's Medi-Cal costs,
uninsured costs, and imputed other entity intergovernmental transfer
amounts for the base year shall be added together and multiplied by
the blended CPI trend factor. The base year costs used shall not
reflect any adjustments under this subdivision.
   (C) The fiscal year amount determined in subparagraph (A) shall be
compared to the trended amount in subparagraph (B). If the amount in
subparagraph (B) exceeds the amount in subparagraph (A), the public
hospital health system county shall be deemed to have satisfied the
cost containment limit. If the amount in subparagraph (A) exceeds the
amount in subparagraph (B), the calculation in paragraph (3) shall
be performed.
   (3) (A) If the number of adjusted patient days of service provided
by the county public hospital health system for the fiscal year
exceeds its number of adjusted patient days of service rendered in
the base year by at least 10 percent, the excess adjusted patient
days above the base year for the fiscal year shall be multiplied by
the cost per adjusted patient day of the county public hospital
health system for the base year. The result shall be added to the
trended base year amount determined in subparagraph (B) of paragraph
(2), yielding the applicable cost containment limit, subject to
paragraph (4).
   (B) If the number of adjusted patient days of service provided by
a county's public hospital health system for the fiscal year does not
exceed its number of adjusted patient days of service rendered in
the base year by 10 percent, the applicable cost containment limit is
the trended base year amount determined in subparagraph (B) of
paragraph (2), subject to paragraph (4).
   (4) If a public hospital health system county's costs, as
determined in subparagraph (A) of paragraph (2), exceeds the amount
determined in subparagraph (B) of paragraph (2) as adjusted by
paragraph (3), the portion of the following cost increases incurred
in providing services to Medi-Cal beneficiaries and uninsured
patients shall be added to and reflected in any cost containment
limit:
   (A) Electronic Health Records and related implementation and
infrastructure costs.
   (B) Costs related to state or federally mandated activities,

   (5) If a public hospital health system county's costs, as
determined in subparagraph (A) of paragraph (2), exceeds the amount
determined in subparagraph (B) of paragraph (2) as adjusted by
paragraphs (3) and (4), the county may request that the department
consider other costs as adjustments to the cost containment limit,
including, but not limited to, transfer amounts in excess of the
imputed other entity intergovernmental transfer amount trended by the
blended CPI trend factor, costs related to case mix index increases,
pension costs, expanded medical education programs, increased costs
in response to delivery system changes in the local community, and
system expansions, including capital expenditures necessary to ensure
access to and the quality of health care. Costs approved by the
department shall be added to and reflected in any cost containment
limit.
   (e) "County indigent care health realignment amount" means the
product of the health realignment amount times the health realignment
indigent care percentage, as computed on a county-specific basis.

(Part 3.5 (commencing with Section 15900)), none of which shall
include the nonfederal share of the Medicaid demonstration payments.
The revenues shall be subtracted from the costs, yielding the initial
low-income shortfall for each of the historical fiscal years.
   (2) The following amounts shall be allocated, but shall not
exceed, the initial low-income shortfall determined in paragraph (1)
for each year:
   (A) First, the county indigent care health realignment amount
shall be applied 100 percent against the initial low-income

   (ii) One-time funds received by the county public hospital health
system for health services for that year or prior period
carry-forward amounts, or carry-forward amounts.
   (iii) County general purpose funds described in subdivision (l).
   (D) Finally, to the extent that the process above does not result
in completely allocating revenues up to the amount necessary to
address the initial low-income shortfall in the historical years,
gains from other payers shall be allocated to fund those costs only
to the extent that such other payer gains exist.
   (ac) "Gains from other payers" means the county-specific amount of
revenues in excess of costs generated from all other payers for
health services. For purposes of this subdivision, patients with

manner of allocation described in subparagraph (C) of paragraph (2)
of subdivision (ab) of Section 17612.2, it is the intent of the
Legislature to codify an allocation methodology by September 13,
2013. Prior to that codification, the following steps shall occur:
   (a) The department shall meet with representatives of the county
public hospital health systems to formulate the fair and reasonable
allocation methodology.
   (b) No later than August 1, 2013, the department shall submit to
the Legislature a proposed allocation methodology. If the county
public hospital health systems and the department fail to agree on a
                                               proposed allocation
methodology, the department shall also be required to submit an
alternative approach from the county public hospital health systems,
which the county public hospital health systems shall submit to the
department prior to July 30, 2013, and the department's analysis of
why it chose its recommended approach.
   (c) If the Legislature enacts legislation implementing the
allocation methodology described in subparagraph (C) of paragraph (2)
of subdivision (ab) of Section 17612.2 by July 1, 2014, then
notwithstanding Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section 11340) of Part 1
of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code, the department,
without taking any further regulatory action, may implement,
interpret, or make specific this section by means of all-county
letters, plan letters, plan or provider bulletins, or similar
instructions.
   (d) If the Legislature does not enact legislation implementing the
allocation methodology described in subparagraph (C) of paragraph
(2) of subdivision (ab) of Section 17612.2 by July 1, 2014, the
department may implement the allocation methodology described in
subparagraph (C) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (ab) of Section
17612.2 only by means that are in conformity with Chapter 3.5
(commencing with Section 11340) of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of
the Government Code.

   (H) Imputed gains from other payers.
   (I) The amount by which the public hospital health system county's
costs exceeded the cost containment limit for the fiscal year,
expressed as a negative number, multiplied by 0.50.
   (2) The following, incurred by the public hospital health system
county for the fiscal year, not to exceed in total the cost
containment limit, shall be subtracted from the sum in paragraph (1):

   (A) Medi-Cal costs.
   (B) Uninsured costs.
   (C) The lesser of the other entity intergovernmental transfer
amount or the imputed other entity intergovernmental transfer
amounts.
   (D) New mandatory other entity intergovernmental transfer amounts.

   (3) The resulting amount determined in paragraph (2) shall be
multiplied by 0.80, except that for the 2013-14 fiscal year the
resulting amount determined in paragraph (2) shall be multiplied by
0.70.
   (4) If the amount in paragraph (3) is a positive number, that
amount, subject to paragraph (5), shall be redirected in accordance
with Section 17612.1. If the amount determined in paragraph (3) is a
negative number, the redirected amount shall be zero.
   (5) Notwithstanding any other law, the amount to be redirected as
determined in paragraph (4) for any fiscal year shall not exceed the
county indigent care health realignment amount for that fiscal year.
   (6) (A) The redirected amount shall be applied until the later of
the following:
   (i) June 30, 2023.
   (ii) The beginning of the fiscal year following a period of two
consecutive fiscal years in which both of the following occur:

percent of the final, reconciled amount in subdivision (d) of that
section.
   (bb) The final, reconciled amounts under subdivision (d) of
Section 17612.3 are within 5 percent of each other.
   (B) After the redirected amount ceases as provided in subparagraph
(A), a permanent redirected amount shall be established to be an
amount determined by calculating the percentage that the redirected
amount was in the last fiscal year of the operation of this article
of the county's health realignment amount of that same fiscal year,
multiplied by the county's health realignment amount of all
subsequent years.
   (b) Commencing with the 2014-15 fiscal year, the department shall
calculate an interim redirected amount for each public hospital
health system county under subdivision (a) by the January immediately
prior to the starting fiscal year, using the most recent and

county shall determine the amount or percentage described in the
applicable subdivision, and shall provide this calculation to the
department, supported by verifiable data and a description of how the
determination was made.
   (2) If the department disagrees with the public hospital health
system county's determination, the department shall confer with the
public hospital health system county by November 15, 2013.
   (3) If no agreement between the parties has been reached by
December 31, 2013, the department shall apply the county's
determination when making the interim calculations pursuant to
subdivision (b), until a decision is issued pursuant to paragraph

(B) and (C), exceed total costs for the fiscal year, the county may
request that the department consider other costs as adjustments to
the cost containment limit, including, but not limited to, transfer
amounts in excess of the imputed other entity intergovernmental
transfer amount trended by the blended CPI trend factor, costs
related to case mix index increases, pension costs, expanded medical
education programs, increased costs in response to delivery system
