AB-190 Budget Act of 2019.(2019-2020)



As Amends the Law Today


SECTION 1.00.
 This act shall be known and may be cited as the “Budget Act of 2019.”
SEC. 1.50.
 (a) In accordance with Sections 12460, 13338, and 13344 of the Government Code, it is the intent of the Legislature that this act and other financial transactions authorized outside of this act utilize a coding scheme or structure compatible with the Governor’s Budget, the records of the Controller in legacy systems, and the Financial Information System for California (FI$Cal), and provide for the appropriation of federal funds received by the state and deposited in the State Treasury.
(b) Essentially, the format and style are as follows:
(1) Appropriation item numbers have a structure which is common to all the state’s fiscal systems. The meaning of this structure is as follows:
2720—​Business Unit (known as organization code in legacy systems, indicates the department or entity) (e.g., 2720 represents the Department of the California Highway Patrol)
001—​Reference Code (indicates whether the item is from the Budget Act or some other source and its character (e.g., 001–100 represents state operations in the Budget Act))
0044—​Fund Code (e.g., 0044 represents the Motor Vehicle Account, State Transportation Fund)
(2) Appropriation items are organized in Business Unit order.
(3) All the appropriation items, reappropriation items, and reversion items, if any, for each business unit are adjacent to one another.
(4) Federal funds received by the state and deposited in the State Treasury are appropriated in separate items.
(c) The Department of Finance may authorize revisions to the codes or structures used in this act or used in other spending authority outside of this act to provide compatibility between the codes or structures used in this act or in other spending authority outside of this act and those used in the Governor’s Budget, in the records of the Controller in legacy systems, and in FI$Cal.
(d) Notwithstanding any other law, the Department of Finance may revise the schedule of any appropriation made in this act or in other spending authority outside of this act where the revision is of a technical nature and is consistent with legislative intent. These revisions may include, but shall not be limited to, the distribution of any unallocated amounts within an appropriation and the adjustment of schedules to facilitate departmental accounting operations. These revisions shall include a certification that the revisions comply with the intent and limitation of expenditures as appropriated by the Legislature.
(e) Notwithstanding any other law, and in accordance with legislative intent, the Department of Finance may authorize technical changes or corrections in FI$Cal or the Controller’s legacy systems resulting from or related to the conversion or implementation of FI$Cal for the current or past fiscal years, including, but not limited to, any of the following:
(1) Corrections to errors inadvertently created during the data conversion process from legacy systems into FI$Cal.
(2) Corrections or changes related to renumbering of programs and capital outlay projects. FI$Cal requires a different numbering scheme for the programs, elements, components, and tasks and projects. A new set of numbers is being utilized in FI$Cal different from what is reflected in prior budget acts and other authorizing sources. A comprehensive crosswalk facilitates the translation from programs, elements, components, and tasks to programs and subprograms and projects.
(3) Corrections or changes necessary to ensure compatibility among the legacy systems of the Controller and departments, and with that of FI$Cal. Multiple coding systems and structures (or chart of accounts) are being utilized during the transition period and until all departments and the Controller’s control functions are fully implemented in FI$Cal.

Whenever herein an appropriation is made in accordance with a schedule set forth after the appropriation, the expenditures from that item for each program or project included in the schedule shall be limited to the amount specified for that program or project, except as otherwise provided in this act. Each schedule is a restriction or limitation upon the expenditure of the respective appropriation made by this act, does not itself appropriate any moneys, and is not itself an item of appropriation.

(a) “Programs” include all expenditures required to carry out the objectives of the named activity.
(b) “Projects” include expenditures to carry out a particular phase, or multiple phases, of work attributed to a project. For capital outlay projects, phases are budgeted as subschedules under the “project” schedule within an item of appropriation.

All necessary professional fees and administrative service costs are included in the preparation of these drawings.
(5) “Construction,” when used in connection with a capital outlay project, shall include all such related things as fixtures, installed equipment, auxiliary facilities, contingencies, project construction, management, administration, and associated costs.
(6) “Performance criteria” are defined as the information that fully describes the scope of the proposed project and includes, but is not limited to, the size, type, and design character of the buildings and site; the required form, fit, function, operational requirements, and quality of design, materials, equipment, and workmanship; and any other information deemed necessary to sufficiently describe the state’s needs. Performance criteria may include concept drawings, which include any schematic drawings or architectural renderings that are prepared in such detail as is necessary to sufficiently describe the state’s needs.
(7) “Design-build” phase means the period following the award of a contract to a design-build entity in which the design-build entity completes the design and construction activities necessary to fully complete the project in compliance with the terms of the contract.

 (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, and in accordance with legislative intent, the Department of Finance may authorize subschedule transfers, as defined in Section 3.00, within individual capital outlay items of appropriation in those instances where the transfers are necessary for the efficient and cost-effective implementation of the projects funded by this act.
SEC. 3.50.
 Whenever an appropriation is made for support or other expenses for an institution, department, board, bureau, commission, officer, employee, or other agency, the following shall be charged to the appropriation from which salaries and wages are paid: workers’ compensation, compensation paid to employees on approved leave of absence on account of sickness, unemployment compensation benefits, industrial disability leave and payments, nonindustrial disability benefits and payments, the administrative costs of the Merit Award Program provided by Section 19823 of the Government Code, the state’s contribution to the Public Employees’ Retirement Fund as provided by Sections 20822 and 20824 of the Government Code, the state’s contribution to the Teachers’ Retirement Fund as provided by Sections 22950, 22951, and 23000 of the Education Code, the state’s contribution to the Old Age and Survivors’ Insurance Revolving Fund as provided by Sections 22601 and 22602 of the Government Code, the state’s contribution to the Old Age and Survivors’ Insurance Revolving Fund for payment of hospital insurance taxes imposed by the Internal Revenue Code, the state’s contribution to the Public Employees’ Contingency Reserve Fund, the state’s contribution for the cost of health benefits plans as provided by Sections 22871, 22881, and subdivision (b) of Section 22883 of the Government Code, and the state’s contribution for costs of other employee benefits and the administrative costs associated with the provision of benefits established by any state agency legally authorized to negotiate and set salary and benefit levels.

 (a) Notwithstanding any other law, the employers’ retirement contributions for the 2019–20 fiscal year that are chargeable to any item with respect to each state officer and employee who is a member of the Public Employees’ Retirement System (PERS) or the Judges’ Retirement System II and who is in that employment or office shall be the percentage of salaries and wages by state member category, as follows:
Miscellaneous, First Tier ........................  31.075%

The Director of Finance may adjust amounts in any appropriation item, or in any category thereof, as a result of changes from amounts budgeted for employer contributions for 2019–20 fiscal year retirement benefits to achieve the percentages specified in this subdivision. Beginning in the 2013–14 fiscal year, adjustments to the California State University (CSU) rates are applied to the actual pensionable 2013–14 fiscal year payroll, which is $2,307,876,000, as identified by the Controller. This process establishes pension funding adjustments through this section for CSU. This results in pension funding for CSU of $683,295,000 General Fund for the 2018–19 fiscal year. These amounts also will be part of the total appropriation in Item 6610-001-0001 of the Budget Act of 2019.
(b) Notwithstanding any other law, the Director of Finance shall require retirement contributions computed pursuant to subdivision (a) to be offset by the Controller with surplus funds in the Public Employees’ Retirement Fund, employer surplus asset accounts.
(c) Notwithstanding any other law, for purposes of calculating the “appropriations subject to limitation” as defined in Section 8 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution, the appropriations shall be deemed to be the amounts remaining after the adjustments required by subdivisions (a) and (b) are made.
(d) Of the percentage of salaries and wages by state member categories identified in subdivision (a), the following percentages are estimated to be the result of the increased employee contributions pursuant to Chapter 296 of the Statutes of 2012 (AB 340), known as the California Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act of 2013, and will be directed toward the state’s unfunded pension liability:
Miscellaneous, First Tier ........................  0.098%
California State University, Miscellaneous, First Tier ........................  0.098%
Miscellaneous, Second Tier ........................  0.098%
State Industrial ........................  0.881%
State Safety ........................  1.182%
Peace Officer/Firefighter ........................  1.647%
California State University, Peace Officer/Firefighter ........................  1.647%
Highway Patrol ........................  1.319%
The contributions to the unfunded liability, as a result of the percentages of salaries and wages in this subdivision, are estimated to be $116,737,000 ($81,319,000 General Fund) for the 2019–20 fiscal year.
(e) The Director of Finance may adjust the percentage levels of the employers’ retirement contributions listed in subdivisions (a) and (d) as a result of rates provided by the Board of Administration of the Public Employees’ Retirement System. The Director of Finance shall notify the Controller by executive order of adjustments made pursuant to this subdivision. Within 30 days of making an adjustment pursuant to this subdivision, the Director of Finance shall report the adjustment in writing to the Chairperson of the Joint Legislative Budget Committee and the chairpersons of the committees in each house of the Legislature that consider appropriations.
(f) (1) In addition to the employers’ retirement contributions listed in subdivisions (a) and (d), the Department of Finance may direct the Controller to transfer up to the amount identified for appropriation pursuant to subclause (IV) of clause (ii) of subparagraph (B) of paragraph (1) of subdivision (c) of Section 20 of Article XVI of the California Constitution equivalent to the amount described in paragraph (3) of subdivision (d) of Section 35.50 to supplement the state’s retirement contributions for the 2019–20 fiscal year.

(B) The Surplus Money Investment Fund and other funds in the Pooled Money Investment Account that accrue interest to the General Fund, for repayment of principal and interest of a cash loan that was made to supplement the state’s retirement contributions.
(3) The supplemental payment described in this subdivision is for unfunded liabilities for state-level pension plans in excess of current base amounts for the 2019–20 fiscal year. Therefore, any amount transferred to a fund identified in paragraph (2) constitutes an obligation pursuant to subclause (IV) of clause (ii) of subparagraph (B) of paragraph (1) of subdivision (c) of Section 20 of Article XVI of the California Constitution.
(4) The Department of Finance shall provide the Controller a schedule of the timing and amounts to be used for purposes of this subdivision.

 (a) It is the intent of the Legislature, in enacting this section, to provide flexibility for the administrative approval of intraschedule transfers within individual items of appropriation in those instances where the transfers are necessary for the efficient and cost-effective implementation of the programs, projects, and functions funded by this act. No transfer shall be authorized under this section to either eliminate any program, project, or function, except when implementation is found to be no longer feasible in light of changing circumstances or new information, or establish any new program, project, or function.
(b) The Director of Finance may, pursuant to a request by the officer, department, division, bureau, board, commission, or other agency to which an appropriation is made by this act, authorize the augmentation of the amount available for expenditure in any schedule set forth for that appropriation, by making a transfer from any of the other designated programs, projects, or functions within the same schedule. No intraschedule transfer may be made under this section to fund any capital outlay purpose, regardless of whether budgeted in a capital outlay or a local assistance appropriation. Upon the conclusion of the 2019–20 fiscal year, the Director of Finance shall furnish the chairpersons of the committees in each house of the Legislature that consider appropriations and the State Budget, and the Chairperson of the Joint Legislative Budget Committee, with a report on all authorizations given pursuant to this section during that fiscal year.

 (a) It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this section to provide flexibility for administrative approval of augmentations for the expenditure of unanticipated federal funds or other nonstate funds in cases that meet the criteria set forth in this section. However, this section does not provide an alternative budget process, and proposals for additional spending ordinarily should be considered in the annual State Budget or other state legislation. Specifically, augmentations for items which the administration had knowledge to include in its 2019–20 budget plan should not be submitted through the process provided by this section. Augmentations for items which can be deferred to the 2020–21 fiscal year should be included in the administration’s 2020–21 fiscal year budget proposals.
(b) The Director of Finance may authorize the augmentation of the amount available for expenditure for any program, project, or function in the schedule of any appropriation in this act or any additional program, project, or function equal to the amount of any additional, unanticipated funds that he or she estimates will be received by the state during the 2019–20 fiscal year from any agency of local government or the federal government, or from any other nonstate source, provided that the additional funding meets all of the following requirements:
(1) The funds will be expended for a purpose that is consistent with state law.
(2) The funds are made available to the state under conditions permitting their use only for a specified purpose, and the additional expenditure proposed under this section would apply to that specified funding purpose.
(3) Acceptance of the additional funding does not impose on the state any requirement to commit or expend new state funds for any program or purpose.
(4) The need exists to expend the additional funding during the 2019–20 fiscal year.
(c) In order to receive consideration for an augmentation, an agency shall either (1) notify the director within 45 days of receiving official notice of the availability of additional, unanticipated funds, or (2) explain in writing to the director why that notification was infeasible or impractical.

 (a) Except as provided in subdivision (b), on and after July 1, 2025, 2020,  no moneys in any fund that, by any statute other than a Budget Act, are continuously appropriated without regard to fiscal years may be encumbered unless the Legislature, by statute, specifies that the moneys in the fund are appropriated for encumbrance.
(b) Subdivision (a) does not apply to any of the following:
(1) The scheduled disbursement of any local sales and use tax proceeds to an entity of local government pursuant to Part 1.5 (commencing with Section 7200) of Division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code.
(2) The scheduled disbursement of any transactions and use tax proceeds to an entity of local government pursuant to Part 1.6 (commencing with Section 7251) of Division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code.

SEC. 31.00.
 (a) The appropriations made by this act shall be subject, unless otherwise provided by law, to Section 13320 and Article 2.5 (commencing with Section 13332) of Chapter 3 of Part 3 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code, requiring expenditures to be made in accordance with the allotments and other provisions of departmental budgets approved by the Department of Finance.
(b) The departmental budgets shall authorize, in the manner that the Department of Finance shall prescribe, all established positions whose continuance for the year is approved. Authorization by the Department of Finance is required for (1) the reclassification of any position to or from a monthly maximum salary of $11,258 or above, regardless of range, (which is equivalent to the monthly maximum salary of the Information Technology Manager II classification as of July 1, 2019) and (2) the establishment of any new position not (A) specifically identified in the Governor’s Budget and approved by the Legislature or (B) approved by the Legislature and specifically documented in the Final Change Book or enacted legislation. Additionally, authorization by the Department of Finance is required for (1) the reclassification of any non-Career Executive Assignment classification to a Career Executive Assignment classification or (2) the administrative establishment of any Career Executive Assignment classification.
(c) The Department of Finance shall, for a period of not less than two years, keep and preserve documentation concerning position changes approved as specified in subdivision (b). The Department of Finance may use electronic means to keep and preserve this documentation.
(d) It is the intent of the Legislature that all positions administratively established pursuant to this section that are intended by the administration to be ongoing be submitted to the Legislature for approval through the regular budget process as soon as possible. All positions administratively established pursuant to this section during the 2019–20 fiscal year shall terminate on June 30, 2020, except for those positions that have been (1) approved by the Legislature as part of the regular budget process for the 2020–21 fiscal year as new positions or (2) approved by the Department of Finance after the 2020–21 Governor’s Budget submission to the Legislature and subsequently reported to the Legislature prior to July 1, 2020. The positions identified in (2) above may be reestablished by the Department of Finance during the 2020–21 fiscal year, provided that these positions are shown in the Governor’s Budget for the 2021–22 fiscal year as submitted to the Legislature, and provided that these positions do not result in the reestablishment of positions deleted by the Legislature through the budget process for the 2020–21 fiscal year. The Department of Finance shall provide written notification to the Chairperson of the Joint Legislative Budget Committee within 30 days of the reestablishment of positions approved in the 2020–21 fiscal year pursuant to (2) above.
(e) Moneys appropriated in the 2019–20 fiscal year may be expended for increases in salary ranges or any other employee compensation action only if appropriated for that purpose, or if the Department of Finance certifies to the salary and other compensation-setting authority, prior to the adoption of the action, that funds are available to pay the increased salary or employee compensation resulting from the action. Prior to certification, the Department of Finance shall determine whether the increase in salary range or employee compensation action will require supplemental funding in the 2020–21 fiscal year. If the Department of Finance determines that supplemental funding will be required, the department may certify only if it notifies in writing, at least 30 days before, the chairpersons of the committees in each house of the Legislature that consider appropriations and the Chairperson of the Joint Legislative Budget Committee, or a lesser time which the chairperson of the joint committee, or his or her designee, determines.
(f) A certification on a payroll claim that expenditures therein are in accordance with current budgetary provisions as approved by the Department of Finance shall be sufficient evidence to the Controller that these expenditures comply with this section.
(g) Requests to continue administratively established positions as ongoing positions pursuant to subdivision (d) shall include information on the date the positions were administratively established. This information shall be included in the administration’s budget change proposals and finance letters. If the administration requests to establish new positions in the 2020–21 fiscal year, and subsequently decides to administratively establish the positions in the 2019–20 fiscal year, the Department of Finance shall provide written notification to the Chairperson of the Joint Legislative Budget Committee within 30 days of the administrative establishment of the positions.
(h) This section applies to all state agencies, departments, boards, bureaus, and commissions.
SEC. 32.00.
 (a) The officers of the various departments, boards, commissions, and institutions, for whose benefit and support appropriations are made in this act, are expressly forbidden to make any expenditures in excess of these appropriations. Any indebtedness attempted to be created against the state in violation of this section shall be null and void, and shall not be allowed by the Controller nor paid out of any state appropriation.
(b) Any member of a department, board, commission, or institution who shall vote for any expenditure, or create any indebtedness against the state in excess of the respective appropriations made by this act shall be liable both personally and on his or her official bond for the amount of the indebtedness, to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction by the person or persons, firm, or corporation to which the indebtedness is owing. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of law, a person may not be held personally liable for the amount of any indebtedness created by an expenditure in excess of an appropriation made by this act if all of the following occur: (1) the expenditure is in response to increases in enrollment, population, or caseload by the State Department of Social Services, the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, the State Department of Developmental Services, the State Department of State Hospitals, the State Department of Health Care Services, or the State Department of Public Health; (2) that expenditure is incurred no sooner than 30 days after the Director of Finance provides written notification of its necessity to the Chairperson of the Joint Legislative Budget Committee; and (3) if the chairperson does not advise in response that the expenditure shall not occur. The director’s notification shall include a certification of any amounts required by enrollment, population, or caseload, rather than management decisions or policy changes.
(c) Neither subdivision (a) nor (b) applies to the expenditure of moneys to fund continuous appropriations, including appropriations made in the California Constitution, and federal laws mandating the expenditure of funds.
SEC. 33.00.
 If any item of appropriation in this act is vetoed, eliminated, or reduced by the Governor under Section 10 of Article IV of the California Constitution, while approving portions of this act, such veto, elimination, or reduction shall not affect the other portions of this act, and these other portions of this act, so approved, shall have the same effect in law as if any vetoed or eliminated items of appropriation had not been present in this act, and as if any reduced item of appropriation had not been reduced.
SEC. 34.00.
 If any portion of this act is held unconstitutional, that decision shall not affect the validity of any other portion of this act. The Legislature hereby declares that it would have passed this act, and each portion thereof, irrespective of the fact that any other portion be declared unconstitutional.
SEC. 35.21.
 Notwithstanding any other law, the Department of Finance shall not use the estimated net final payment accrual methodology for the accrual of revenues, except for tax revenues that are accrued pursuant to an initiative measure that is enacted on or after January 1, 2012.
SEC. 35.35.
 (a) To ensure cash needs in appropriation are met, departments shall make every reasonable effort to promptly collect reimbursements or amounts payable from other funds or departments, or collect the amounts in advance. Payments between departments may be made by transferring funds pursuant to Section 11255 of the Government Code.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, if a department impacted by the implementation of FI$Cal demonstrates to the Department of Finance that it is unable to collect reimbursements or amounts payable from other funds or departments as specified in subdivision (a) and a temporary cash shortage arises for the department, the Director of Finance may authorize a short-term cash loan from the General Fund or from other funds administered or used by the requesting department. The cash loan shall be subject to the terms and conditions for repayment as may be prescribed by the Department of Finance. Interest charges may be waived pursuant to subdivision (e) of Section 16314 of the Government Code. Within 10 days after approval, the Director of Finance shall notify the Joint Legislative Budget Committee of loans approved pursuant to this subdivision.
(c) For purposes of the budgetary and legal bases of accounting and budgeting, the principal amount of any loans made pursuant to this section shall not be considered part of the balance of the fund that receives the loan, nor shall it be deducted from the balance of the fund from which the loan is made. These loans are considered cashflow loans for temporary cash shortages and shall not constitute budgetary loans, revenues, or expenditures. The Department of Finance shall make the final determination of the budgetary and accounting transactions and treatments to ensure proper implementation of the provisions of this section, pursuant to Section 13344 of the Government Code.
SEC. 35.50.
