Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) This
				  section applies to a County with a population of less than 200,000 as determined by
				  the Department. The Department shall provide counties with population data by July 1
				  each year. A County's population for a fiscal year shall be based on the Department
				  of Finance county population estimates data as of January 1 of the previous fiscal
				  year, as reported in State of California, Department of Finance, E-1, Population
				  Estimates for, Cities, Counties, and the State Population Estimates with Annual
				  Percent Change.
(b) Unless transferred
				  into the Prudent Reserve, the CFTN Account, or the WET Account pursuant to section
				  3420.10, a County shall spend CSS
				  Account monies within five (5) fiscal years of receiving those funds from the State
				  Controller, or within five (5) fiscal years of transferring funds from the Prudent
				  Reserve to its CSS Account pursuant to sections
				  3420.30(g) or
				  3420.35. In determining the five (5)
				  fiscal year period, the fiscal year in which the State Controller distributes CSS
				  funds to the County, or the fiscal year in which the County transfers funds from the
				  Prudent Reserve to its CSS Account pursuant to sections
				  3420.30(g) or
				  3420.35, shall be the first fiscal year.
				  If a County fails to spend such funds within five (5) fiscal years, the funds shall
				  revert to the Mental Health Services Fund for deposit into the Reversion
				  Account.
(c) A County shall spend funds
				  received from the CalHFA within five (5) fiscal years of receiving the money. In
				  determining the five (5) fiscal year period, the fiscal year in which CalHFA returns
				  the money to the County shall be the first fiscal year. If a County fails to spend
				  such funds within five (5) fiscal years, the funds shall revert to the Mental Health
				  Services Fund for deposit into the Reversion Account.
(d) A County shall spend PEI Account monies,
				  including funds a County transferred from its CSS Account to its PEI Account
				  pursuant to Section
				  3420.15, within five (5) fiscal years of
				  receiving those funds from the State Controller, or within five (5) fiscal years of
				  transferring funds from the Prudent Reserve to its PEI Account pursuant to sections
				  3420.30(h) or
				  3420.35(a)(1). In
				  determining the five (5) fiscal year period, the fiscal year in which the State
				  Controller distributes PEI funds to the County, or the fiscal year in which the
				  County transfers funds from the Prudent Reserve to its PEI Account pursuant to
				  section 3420.30(h) or
				  3420.35(a)(1), shall be
				  the first fiscal year. If a County fails to spend such funds within five (5) fiscal
				  years, the funds shall revert to the Mental Health Services Fund for deposit into
				  the Reversion Account.
(e) Within five
				  (5) fiscal years of receiving INN Account monies from the State Controller, a County
				  shall identify the INN Account monies in the budget of an Innovative Project Plan as
				  specified in Section
				  3930(d) and obtain
				  approval from the Mental Health Services Oversight and Accountability Commission for
				  the Innovative Project Plan. In determining the five (5) fiscal year period, the
				  fiscal year in which the State Controller distributes the funds to the County shall
				  be the first fiscal year. If a County fails to identify INN Account monies in the
				  budget of an Innovative Project Plan and obtain approval of that Plan from the
				  Mental Health Services Oversight and Accountability Commission within five (5)
				  fiscal years those funds shall revert to the Mental Health Services Fund for deposit
				  into the Reversion Account.
(f)
(1) A County shall spend INN Account monies during
				  the period the monies are encumbered under the terms of an Innovative Project Plan
				  or within five (5) fiscal years of receiving approval for the Innovative Project
				  Plan, whichever is later. In determining the five (5) fiscal year period, the fiscal
				  year in which the Mental Health Services Oversight and Accountability Commission
				  initially approved the Innovative Project Plan shall be the first fiscal year. If a
				  County fails to spend such funds by the later of these two periods, the funds shall
				  revert to the Mental Health Services Fund for deposit into the Reversion
				  Account.
(2) INN Account monies
				  identified in the budget of an Innovative Project Plan shall be considered
				  encumbered. INN Account monies shall remain encumbered for the fiscal years and in
				  the amounts identified in the budget of the Innovative Project Plan. Any amendment
				  to an Innovative Project Plan that extends the time period of the Innovative
				  Project, or changes the amount of funds in the budget of the Innovative Project,
				  which is approved by the Mental Health Services Oversight Accountability Commission,
				  shall extend the period or change the amount of funds encumbered under the
				  Innovative Project Plan. INN Account monies shall no longer be encumbered under an
				  Innovative Project Plan effective the date a County terminates the Innovative
				  Project pursuant to Section
				  3910.020.
(3) If the period of time INN Account monies are
				  encumbered, under the terms of an Innovative Project Plan, concludes before the end
				  of the five (5) fiscal year period, or the County terminates an Innovative Project
				  pursuant to section
				  3910.020 before the end of the five (5)
				  fiscal year period, a County may reassign any unspent funds to another Innovative
				  Project pursuant to Article 9. The County shall spend reassigned funds within five
				  (5) fiscal years. In determining the five (5) fiscal year period, the fiscal year in
				  which the Mental Health Services Oversight and Accountability Commission approved
				  the initial Innovative Project Plan shall be the first fiscal year. If a County
				  fails to spend reassigned funds within these five (5) fiscal years, the funds shall
				  revert to the Mental Health Services Fund for deposit into the Reversion
				  Account.
