Any official authorized by law to seek, authorize, or approve a withdrawal of moneys from the General Fund for these purposes may in the alternative request a loan from the board as provided in this section and execute such documents as are required by the board to obtain and repay the loan. Interest on the loan shall be determined as provided in Section 16314.

(b) The Pooled Money Investment Board may also make a loan from the Pooled Money Investment Account to any special fund for the purpose of carrying out a program or project that is authorized to be financed by issuing bonds, notes, or other evidence of indebtedness, where the special fund does not qualify under subdivision (a). Any loan shall be subject to those terms and conditions as the board shall determine and interest shall be determined as provided in Section 16314.

Any state agency or other entity of state government that has authority to issue bonds may request a loan from the Pooled Money Investment Account and execute such documents as are required by the board to obtain and repay the loan.

The Legislature hereby finds and declares that these appropriations for interest payments regarding general obligation bond programs are appropriations for debt service as defined in Section 8 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution and therefore are exempt from the appropriations limit set by that article.

A provider shall not charge a victim or derivative victim for any difference between the cost of a service provided to a victim or derivative victim and the program’s payment for that service. To ensure service limitations that are uniform and appropriate to the levels of treatment required by the victim or derivative victim, the board may review all claims for these services as necessary to ensure their medical necessity.

(b) The board may request an independent examination and report from any provider of medical or medical-related services or psychological or psychiatric treatment or mental health counseling services, if it believes there is a reasonable basis for requesting an additional evaluation. The victim or derivative victim shall be notified of the name of the provider who is to perform the evaluation within 30 calendar days of that determination. In cases where the crime involves sexual assault, the provider shall have expertise in the needs of sexual assault victims. In cases where the crime involves child abuse or molestation, the provider shall have expertise in the needs of victims of child abuse or molestation, as appropriate. When a reevaluation is requested, payments shall not be discontinued prior to completion of the reevaluation.
