BACKGROUND: Under existing law (Section 11758 . 10 et seq. , Health & Safety Code) seven named counties are a part of a pilot project which allows those counties to negotiate contracts with the State Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs for the difference between the cost of services and the amount of projected revenue (net negotiated amount) which would then represent the State's obligation to fund programs in that County. Participation in this pilot project waives most other planning and reporting requirements for alcohol and/or drug programs . Under current law (SB 156, Chapter 113, Statutes of 1991) the pilot projects expire January 1, 1995 . AB 2161 removes the reference to the named counties and allows any county in California to participate in the pilot project. The Health Services Director included support of this bill in his requested 1992 Legislation Program. AB 2161 is sponsored by CSAC. It appears that participation in this pilot project could provide substantial opportunities to reduce the administrative cost of providing alcohol and drug services in the County and that it is, therefore, appropriate for the Board of Supervisors to indicate their support for the bill .
