Whenever the holder of an oil and gas lease of state-owned lands proposes to engage in secondary recovery operations within such lease, the commission and the holder of the lease may mutually agree to modifications of the lease in furtherance of such proposal and with the object of obtaining the maximum economic ultimate recovery of oil and gas from the lands included within such lease, so far as such is reasonably practicable.

Any such amendatory agreement shall contain provisions to assure, so far as reasonably practicable:

(a) That the total royalty production to which the state shall thereafter be entitled shall be no less than the total royalty production to which the state would thereafter have been entitled if such lease had continued to be operated under primary recovery methods, absent any secondary recovery operations, and (b) that the royalty production accruing to the state from the additional oil produced, if any, as a result of the conduct of secondary recovery operations shall be calculated and determined in such manner as to be at least as great in proportion to such additional oil as the royalty production agreed upon in conformance with subdivision (a) of this section is in proportion to the total remaining primary production agreed upon in conformance with subdivision (a).

As a basis for making a determination that it is in the best interests of the state that it enter into such an agreement, and before authorizing the execution thereof, and to determine the appropriate royalty rates on primary and on additional production, the commission shall, using all information available to it, make a calculated projection of the volume of primary royalty to which the state would be entitled under the existing royalty provisions of the lease for the zone or zones involved in the proposal, absent secondary recovery operations, and shall compare its determinations with those of the holder of the lease in an effort to arrive at a mutual agreement.

Funds may be used by the family for education or job training expenses for the accountholder or his or her dependents, for starting a business, for the purchase of a home, or for costs associated with securing permanent rental housing or to make rent payments to overcome an episode of homelessness. Recipients who wish to retain savings for these purposes shall enter into a written agreement with the county to establish a separate account with a financial institution, with the account to be used solely for the purpose of accumulating funds for later withdrawal for a qualifying expenditure. A qualifying expenditure shall be defined by department regulations and shall be verified by the recipient. The recipient shall agree to provide periodic verification of account activity, as required by department regulations. The agreement shall notify the recipient of the penalty for nonqualifying withdrawal of funds.

(b) Any nonqualifying withdrawal of funds from the account shall result in a calculation of a period of ineligibility for all persons in the assistance unit, to be determined by dividing the balance in the account immediately prior to the withdrawal by the minimum basic standard of adequate care for the members of the assistance unit, as set forth in Section 11452. The resulting whole number shall be the number of months of ineligibility. The period of ineligibility may be reduced when the minimum basic standard of adequate care of the assistance unit, including special needs, increases.
