(c) Relief to the county share of administrative costs authorized by this section shall not result in any increased cost to the General Fund, as determined in subdivision (b).

(d) Subdivision (a) does not prevent a county from expending funds in excess of the amount specified in subdivision (a).

(e) In recognition of county cost pressures, the county share of costs otherwise required pursuant to Section 18906.5 shall be waived for the twenty million dollars ($20,000,000) General Fund appropriated and allocated pursuant to Provision 17 of Section 188 of the Budget Act of 2025 (Chapter 104 of the Statutes 2025).
