Any change to the allocating state entity or fiscal agent made pursuant to this paragraph shall be reported to the Joint Legislative Budget Committee in writing at least 30 days, or no sooner than whatever lesser time after that notification the chairperson of the joint committee, or the chairperson’s designee, may determine, prior to the change. It is the intent of the Legislature to revise this section during the 2023–24 fiscal year to reflect any changes necessary to achieve the intended legislative purpose.
(7)Unless otherwise specified in this section, funds allocated pursuant to this section shall be available for encumbrance through June 30, 2025, and expenditure until June 30, 2027.
(8)Funding provided in this section shall not be used for a purpose subject to Section 8 of the Article XVI of California Constitution. If the Department of Finance determines that any allocation would be considered an appropriation for that purpose, the funding shall not be allocated, and the department shall notify the Joint Legislative Budget Committee of that finding.
(9)This section reserves $750,000,000 for legislative priorities.
(10)This section reserves $7,500,000 to be provided to departments for administrative workload related to coordinating the legislative priority allocations.
(a)It is the intent of the Legislature that funds appropriated to state
agencies and administered by third-party administrators on behalf of the state to accomplish the purpose of the appropriation
shall be subject to reversion to the extent those funds have not been expended or encumbered by a valid obligation that is
consistent with the purpose of the appropriation. It is the intent of the Legislature that appropriated funds shall not be
encumbered solely by reason of the fact that the funds are administered by a third-party administrator except to the extent
that the funds are appropriated for the reasonable costs incurred by the administrator.
(b)The Legislature may, in future acts, revert unexpended or
unencumbered appropriations to the funds from which the appropriations were made if the state agency to which the funds
were appropriated authorized a third-party administrator to allocate, expend, or encumber the appropriated funds. However,
the Legislature shall not revert any appropriated funds that have already been allocated, expended, or encumbered to cover
the reasonable costs of a third-party administrator to administer those funds. For purposes of this section, funds shall not
be considered encumbered solely by reason of their administration by the third-party administrator.
(g)From July 1, 2023 until September 15, 2023, this section does not
apply to funding received for the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment Program pursuant to Section 1702 of Title 47 of
the United States Code. It is the intent of the Legislature that these federal funds are subject to appropriation in the 2023
legislative session, if possible.
