| Provisions: |
| 1. | The funding in Schedule (2) shall be distributed by the Judicial Council through the Legal Service Trust Fund Commission to qualified legal service projects and support centers as defined in Sections 6213 to 6215, inclusive, of the Business and Professions Code, to be used for legal services in civil matters for indigent persons. The Judicial Council shall approve awards made by the commission if the council determines that the awards comply with statutory and other relevant guidelines. Up to ten percent of the funds in Schedule (2) shall be for joint projects of courts and legal services programs to make legal assistance available to pro per litigants, and at least 90 percent of the funds in Schedule (2) shall be distributed consistent with Sections 6216 to 6223, inclusive, of the Business and Professions Code. Any funding not allocated for joint projects shall be redistributed consistent with Sections 6216 to 6223, inclusive, of the Business and Professions Code.

Of this amount, no more than 2.5 percent shall be available, upon order of the Department of Finance, for administrative costs of the Judicial Council and the State Bar. The remaining funds shall be allocated as follows: | |
| | (a) | 75 percent shall be distributed to qualified legal services projects and support centers that currently provide eviction defense or other tenant defense assistance in landlord-tenant rental disputes, as set forth in this provision. To expedite the distribution of this percentage of the $40,000,000 in Schedule (2), eligible programs shall be limited to those found eligible for 2021 Interest on Lawyer Trust Accounts (IOLTA) funding. Each eligible program shall receive a percentage equal to that legal services project’s 2021 IOLTA allocation divided by the total 2021 IOLTA allocation for all legal services projects eligible for this funding, except that to ensure meaningful funding is provided, a minimum amount of $50,000 shall be allocated to each eligible program unless the program requests a lesser amount, in which case the additional funds shall be distributed proportionally to the other qualified legal services projects. These funds shall be distributed as soon as practicable after the effective date of this act and shall not supplant existing resources. | |
| | (b) | 25 percent shall be allocated through a competitive grant process developed by the Legal Services Trust Fund Commission of the State Bar to award grants to qualified legal service projects and support centers to provide eviction defense, other tenant defense assistance in landlord-tenant rental disputes, or services to prevent foreclosures for homeowners, as set forth in this provision, to meet the needs of tenants not addressed by the formula provided in subdivision (a). The grant process shall ensure that any qualified legal service project or support center that received funding pursuant to subdivision (a) may only receive funding pursuant to this subdivision if that qualified legal service project or support center demonstrates that funds received under this subdivision will be not be used to supplant existing resources, and will be used to provide services to tenants not otherwise served by that qualified legal service project or support center. The commission shall make the grant award determinations. In awarding these grants, preference shall be given to qualified legal aid agencies that serve rural or underserved communities. Any funding not allocated pursuant to this competitive grant process shall be distributed pursuant to subdivision (a), except that there shall be no minimum funding amount for these funds. | |
| 3. | Funds appropriated in Schedule (2) are available for encumbrance or expenditure until December 31, 2024. | |

| Provisions: | |
| 1. | The Controller may, with the concurrence of the Director of Finance and the Chairperson of the Joint Legislative Budget Committee, bill affected state departments for activities required by Section 20030 of the State Administrative Manual, relating to the administration of federal pass-through funds. | |
| | A billing shall not be sent to affected departments sooner than 30 days after the chairperson of the joint committee has been notified by the director that the director concurs with the amounts specified in the billings. | |
| 2. | Of the moneys appropriated to the Controller in this act, the Controller shall not expend more than $500,000 to conduct posteligibility fraud audits of the Supplemental Security Income/State Supplementary Payment Program. | |
| 3. | The Commission on State Mandates shall provide, in applicable parameters and guidelines, as follows: | |
| | (a) | If a local agency or school district contracts with an independent contractor for the preparation and submission of reimbursement claims, the costs reimbursable by the state for that purpose shall not exceed the lesser of (1) 10 percent of the amount of the claims prepared and submitted by the independent contractor or (2) the actual costs that would necessarily have been incurred for that purpose if performed by employees of the local agency or school district. | |
| | (b) | The maximum amount of reimbursement provided in subdivision (a) may be exceeded only if the local agency or school district establishes, by appropriate documentation, that the preparation and submission of these claims could not have been accomplished without incurring the additional costs claimed by the local agency or school district. | |
| 4. | It is the intent of the Legislature that audits conducted by the Controller, or under the direction of the Controller, shall be fiscal audits that focus on claims and disbursements, as provided for in Section 12410 of the Government Code. Any report, audit, analysis, or evaluation issued by the Controller for the current fiscal year shall cite the specific statutory or constitutional provision authorizing the preparation and release of the report, audit, analysis, or evaluation. | |

This provision does not obligate the state to change the practice of funding health and dental benefits for annuitants currently required under state law. | |
| 8. | The funds appropriated to the Controller in this act shall not be expended on additional actuarial valuations, beyond the annual actuarial valuations, for other postemployment benefits, prior to obtaining concurrence in writing from the Department of Finance.

| 9. | The Controller shall provide the Chairperson of the Joint Legislative Budget Committee and the chairpersons of the fiscal committees in each house of the Legislature a report on the California State Payroll System specifying the dollars expended on the program in the previous fiscal year and over the life of the program and any known savings that have occurred in the prior fiscal year by August 31, 2021. | |

| 12. | Of the amount appropriated in this item, $428,000 shall be used to reimburse the Department of Justice for legal services. In addition to the amount above, upon order of the Director of Finance, any non-General Fund Budget Act item for support of the Controller may be augmented to reimburse the Department of Justice for legal services. An augmentation shall not be made sooner than 30 days after the Joint Legislative Budget Committee has been notified in writing. | |
| 13. | The Department of Finance may reduce the amounts authorized under this item upon (a) successful completion of modifications by the Controller to the payroll system, or by the Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) to the retirement system (my|CalPERS), that significantly reduces the number of records that the my|CalPERS system rejects; or (b) once the Controller has eliminated the backlog of Payroll Contribution Report and Retirement Enrollment Report discrepancies between the payroll and retirement systems, which in turn reduces the Controller workload related to the CalPERS Pension System Resumption. This adjustment shall be in coordination with the Controller and CalPERS. An adjustment shall not be made pursuant to this provision prior to a 30-day notification in writing to the Chairperson of the Joint Legislative Budget Committee and the chairpersons of the committees of each house of the Legislature that consider appropriations. | |
