    (b) (1) For the 1993–94 fiscal year and succeeding fiscal years, the Controller shall allocate, on a monthly basis, to the appropriate accounts of the local health and welfare trust fund those funds deposited into the Indigent Health Equity Subaccount, the Community Health Equity Subaccount, the Mental Health Equity Subaccount, and the State Hospital Mental Health Equity Subaccount in the Sales Tax Growth Account in accordance with a schedule prepared in accordance with subdivision (c) by the Department of Finance.

    (2) The Department of Finance shall annually consult with the California State Association of Counties prior to submitting any schedule of allocations to the Controller.

    (3) If deposits into the Indigent Health Equity Subaccount, the Community Health Equity Subaccount, the Mental Health Equity Subaccount, and the State Hospital Mental Health Equity Subaccount are not sufficient to eliminate poverty-population shortfalls as described in subdivision (c), each eligible jurisdiction shall receive an allocation which equals its pro rata share of funds in the subaccount based on the jurisdiction's percentage share of the poverty-population shortfall.

    (c) (1) A poverty-population percentage shall be computed annually by the Department of Finance for each county, city, and city and county by averaging each jurisdiction's share of the state's total population and each jurisdiction's percentage share of the state's total cash-grant certified CalWORKs and SSI/SSP eligible populations residing in the county, city, or city and county, as determined by the Department of Finance. For purposes of calculating the poverty-population percentage for the State Hospital Mental Health Equity Subaccount and the Indigent Health Equity Subaccount, beginning with the 1995–96 allocation, the population and poverty figures for the cities shall be assigned to the county in which each city is located.

    (2) (A) For each subaccount, the Department of Finance shall calculate the poverty-population shortfall for each county, city, and city or county, which received funding from the state, including any equity allocation made pursuant to this section, in the prior fiscal year and excluding any transfers to or from other subaccounts under Section 17600.20.

    (B) The poverty-population shortfalls shall be calculated for the following programs or funding sources:

    (i) State funding under Part 4.5 (commencing with Section 16700), as operative on June 29, 1991, for indigent health programs.

    (ii) State funding under Part 4.5 (commencing with Section 16700), as operative on June 29, 1991, for community health programs.

    (iii) Funding provided for purposes of the implementation of Division 5 (commencing with Section 5000) for the organization and financing of community mental health programs, including funding for the purchase of state hospital services, funding for services provided by institutes for mental diseases, and funding for services provided for under Chapter 1294 of the Statutes of 1989.

    (C) The calculation shall identify the amount by which the allocations for the programs or funding sources identified in subparagraph (B) are less than the amount the jurisdiction would have received if its percentage share of the prior year funding had been equal to its poverty-population percentage.

    (D) The calculation of the poverty-population shortfall for clause (iii) of subparagraph (B) shall include all allocations received pursuant to Section 5701, including all distributions made pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 5701, unless those funds are intended for pilot program or demonstration projects or are exempted from this requirement by other provisions of law. Poverty-population shortfall calculations shall not include funds received through the state mandates claim process.

    (E) (i) The Department of Finance shall recalculate the resource base used in determining the poverty-population shortfalls pursuant to subparagraph (B) for the 1994–95 fiscal year equity allocations according to this subparagraph. The resource base for each equity subaccount shall be reconstructed beginning with the resource bases to be used for allocating 1994–95 fiscal year growth.

    (ii) For the State Hospital Mental Health Equity Subaccount, the Department of Finance shall use the 1990–91 fiscal year State Hospital Mental Health allocations as reported by the State Department of Mental Health.

    (iii) For the Community Mental Health Equity Subaccount:

    (I) The Department of Finance shall use the following resources reported by the State Department of Mental Health:

    (ia) The final December 1992 distribution of resources associated with Institutes of Mental Disease.

    (ib) The 1990–91 fiscal year community mental health allocations.

    (ic) Allocations for services provided for under Chapter 1294 of the Statutes of 1989.

    (II) The Department of Finance shall expand the resource base with the following nonrealigned funding sources, as allocated among counties:

    (ia) 1991–92 fiscal year Cigarette and Tobacco Products Surtax allocations made under Chapter 1331 of the Statutes of 1989, Chapter 51 of the Statutes of 1990, and, for the 1994–95 fiscal year only, Chapter 1323 of the Statutes of 1990.

    (ib) 1993–94 fiscal year federal homeless block grant allocations.

    (ic) 1993–94 fiscal year mental health special education allocations.

    (id) 1993–94 fiscal year allocations for the system of care for children, in accordance with Chapter 1229 of the Statutes of 1992.

    (ie) 1993–94 fiscal year federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration block grant funds.

    (iv) For the Community Health Equity Subaccount and the Indigent Health Equity Subaccount, the Department of Finance shall use the historical resource base as allocated among the counties, cities, and city and county, as reported by the State Department of Health Services in the September 17, 1991, report of Indigent and Community Health Resources.

    (v) The Department of Finance shall use these adjusted resource bases for the four equity subaccounts as provided in this subparagraph to calculate what the four 1994–95 fiscal year equity subaccount allocations would have been, and, together with 1994–95 fiscal year Base Restoration Subaccount allocations as adjusted according to subdivision (b) of Section 17605, to the Health and Mental Health Accounts, reconstruct the 1994–95 fiscal year realignment base for the 1995–96 allocation year for each city, county, and city and county for each equity subaccount. The Department of Finance shall use these adjusted resource bases to do both of the following:

    (I) Distribute equity allocations for the 1995–96 fiscal year.

    (II) With adjustments for growth in realigned funds, and annual changes that reflect funds allocated in the previous year from nonrealigned funds specified in this subdivision, calculate equity allocations in the 1996–97 fiscal year and fiscal years thereafter.

    (3) For each subaccount, the Department of Finance shall total the amounts calculated in paragraph (2) and determine the percentage of that total represented by each amount.

    (4) Each county's, city's, or city and county's percentage share of each subaccount specified in subdivision (b) of Section 17606.05 shall equal the percentage computed in paragraph (3).

    (5) All calculations made pursuant to this subdivision shall be compiled and made available by the Department of Finance, upon request, to all counties, cities, and cities and counties eligible for funding pursuant to this subdivision, and cities and counties, receiving funding pursuant to this article at least 30 days prior to submission of schedules of allocations to the Controller.

(Amended by Stats. 1998, Ch. 642, Sec. 2. Effective January 1, 1999.)
