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.

The Department of Finance may augment the amount appropriated in this item up to $479,557,000 for repayment of over-claimed Title XXI federal funds related to the Non Optional Targeted Low Income Children Program population of the Medicaid program.
