FROM: Phil Batchelor, County Administrator
Costa
DATE: County
June 4, 1985
SUBJECT:
Legislation: AB 1227 (Lancaster)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION•
Adopt a position in support of AB 1227 by Assemblyman Lancaster
which would require the State Controller to pay claims of local
governments within 30 days from receipt from the Commission on
State Mandates or require the Controller to pay interest on
them.
BACKGROUND:
Existing law requires the State to reimburse local governments
for State-mandated costs incurred after July 1, 1980 as a
result of any statute enacted on or after January 1, 1975 which
mandates a new program or higher level of service of an
existing program within the meaning of Section 6 of Article
XIII-B of the California Constitution.
Legislation enacted in 1984 replaced the Board of Control with
a five-member Commission on State Mandates. The Commission is
charged with receiving claims from local governments and
deciding on their validity. The Commission must also determine
how much local governments should be paid for a given
State-mandated local cost. The Commission is required to adopt
parameters and guidelines based on the "test claim" , or first
claim received relative to a given State mandate. Thereafter,
the Commission shall forward all claims, along with the
parameters and guidelines, to the State Controller for audit
and payment.
AB 1227 would require the Controller to pay such claims within
30 days from the date he receives the claim from the
Commission, or pay interest on such claim at the rate of
interest earned by moneys in the Pooled Money Investment Fund.
AB 1227 is presently pending hearing in the Assembly Local
Government Committee.
