The 2024-25 Budget: Medi-Cal Analysis
For example, some managed care plans subcontract with other plans or provider groups to oversee the care of some of their enrollees. In these arrangements, the plans provide monthly per‑enrollee payments, much like how Medi‑Cal pays the plans. 
State Also Can Provide Directed Payments. Federal rules allow states to provide what are known as “directed payments” in the managed care system. Most commonly, directed payments work like supplemental payments, with the state providing additional funds to plans to be directed toward specific providers and services. In fact, many fee‑for‑service supplemental payment programs, such as those supported by Proposition 56 funds, also support managed care directed payment programs. States also can establish minimum fee schedules for managed care plans to pay for services. For example, California law currently requires plans to pay for long‑term care and certain transplant services at the Medi‑Cal fee‑for‑service rate. 
Different Fund Sources Also Support Payments to Managed Care Plans. Like fee‑for‑service payments, the cost of payments to managed care plans is covered by federal funds and other sources. For base payments, the state generally covers the nonfederal share of cost using General Fund. Much like fee‑for‑service supplemental payments, the nonfederal share of cost for supplemental directed payments tends to be covered by other sources, such as Proposition 56 funds, quality assurance fee revenue, and local government contributions. 
Provider Payments in Recent MCO Tax Package
MCO Tax Package Included Plan to Increase Provider Payments. As part of the recently enacted MCO tax package (described further in the “MCO Tax Budget Solution” section of this report), the Legislature established a plan to spend the resulting funds in trailer bill legislation (Chapter 42 of 2023 [AB 118, Committee on Budget]). Under the plan, a sizable portion of funds are designated to support augmentations to Medi‑Cal and other health programs. Below, we describe the major Medi‑Cal augmentations.
A Provider Payment Increase for Specified Services Was Enacted in the 2023‑24 Budget. Under the trailer legislation, the MCO tax package supports a provider payment increase, effective January 2024.

Legislative Analyst's Office
Analysis of the 2001-02 Budget Bill


Petroleum Violation Escrow Account 
Background 
In the early 1970s, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries embargoed crude oil exports to the United States. In response to this severe restriction in
oil supply, the federal government regulated oil prices from 1973 to 1981 to prevent price gouging by domestic crude oil producers and to ensure fair allocation
of oil resources. The federal Department of Energy was responsible for identifying violations, recovering overcharges, and obtaining restitution for wronged
parties.
Settlements. Through the 1980s, several overcharge cases against domestic oil producers were settled or decided in court.

The first case was settled in 1981. Standard Oil of California (Chevron) paid a $50 million fine for oil overcharges, of which California received
$6.6 million.
n 1983, California received $19 million in settlement funds pursuant to the Warner amendment of the federal budget act.
In 1986, Exxon Corporation paid $2.1 billion in restitution for overcharges, of which California received $207 million based on historical usage patterns of
petroleum products.
Also in 1986, the Stripper Well settlement resulted from charges that producers miscertified oil to avoid government price restrictions. California received
$169 million of the $993 million that went to states, again based on historical usage patterns.
California also received $25 million from subsequent smaller settlements.

In total, California has received $426 million from these settlements.
Allowable Uses of Funds. The allowable uses of overcharge funds varied by case or settlement and included programs such as the following:

Public transportation, computerized school bus routing, and ridesharing.
Building energy audits, energy assistance, and home weatherization.
Highway, bridge, and airport maintenance and reduction in airport user fees.
Specified federal programs.

In general, the penalties levied against oil producers were intended to provide restitution to victims of the oil overcharges. Expenditure of the funds was

The 2024-25 Budget: Department of Cannabis Control—Legal and Administrative Hearing Costs
DCC Transitioning From Provisional to Annual Licenses. DCC issues annual licenses to applicants who have fulfilled all license requirements, including a completed application, local permitting, and California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) compliance. Previously, DCC also issued provisional licenses to applicants if they submitted a completed license application and were in the process of completing local permitting processes and CEQA requirements. However, the state has been gradually phasing out the types of provisional licenses that DCC can issue. Under current law, DCC is authorized to issue provisional licenses only for applicants that meet certain criteria until January 1, 2031, after which time DCC can only issue annual licenses going forward. As of February 9, 2024, DCC reported there were 5,754 active annual licenses and 3,924 active provisional licenses.
Department of Justice (DOJ) Provides Legal Services for DCC. Under the direction of the Attorney General, DOJ provides legal services to state agencies. State agencies can request—and are generally billed for—DOJ services to initiate legal action, defend or represent them in legal actions filed by others, or provide legal advice. DOJ provides legal services to DCC, including representing the department in administrative law cases and civil cases. Currently, DOJ charges an hourly rate of $220 for attorney services, $205 for paralegal services, and $195 for analyst services. State agencies, including DCC, generally pay for these costs from their own budgets. The 2021-22 Budget Act provided DCC with $2.7 million annually for three years to support its costs for DOJ legal services.
Office of Administrative Hearings (OAH) Hears Cannabis-Related Cases. OAH provides administrative law judges to hear administrative disputes for over 2,500 state and local agencies, including DCC. These judges conduct adjudicatory hearings, prehearing and settlement conferences, and mediations. OAH charges fees to state and local agencies for the services it provides. Currently, OAH charges state and local agencies an hourly rate of $373, as well as other filing and recording fees.
Internal Revenue Bulletin: 2008-12 | Internal Revenue Service
Section 431 specifies the amount that must be contributed under § 412 to a multiemployer defined benefit plan to avoid an accumulated funding deficiency in order to satisfy the requirements of § 412 as modified by PPA ’06. Prior to these changes, the minimum funding requirements for qualified pension plans were set forth in § 412. Prior to amendment by PPA ’06, § 412(l)(7)(C)(ii) required the use of certain mortality tables to determine a plan’s current liability, effective for plan years beginning after December 31, 1994. Section 412(l)(7)(C)(iii)(I) provided that, for purposes of determining current liability for plan years beginning after December 31, 1995, the Secretary was required to establish mortality tables that were permitted to be used, in lieu of the tables under § 412(l)(7)(C)(ii), to determine current liability under § 412(l) for individuals who were entitled to benefits under the plan on account of disability. The Secretary was required to establish separate tables for individuals whose disabilities occurred in plan years beginning before January 1, 1995, and for individuals whose disabilities occurred in plan years beginning after December 31, 1994. Under § 412(l)(7)(C)(iii)(II), the mortality table for individuals whose disabilities occurred in plan years beginning after December 31, 1994, applied only with respect to individuals who were disabled within the meaning of title II of the Social Security Act and the regulations thereunder. Rev. Rul. 96-7, 1996-1 C.B. 59, which was effective for plan years beginning after December 31, 1995, set forth the mortality tables that were permitted to be used pursuant to § 412(l)(7)(C)(iii)(I) for disabilities occurring in plan years beginning before January 1, 1995, and for disabilities occurring in plan years beginning after December 31, 1994. Section 430(h)(3) provides rules regarding the mortality tables to be used in determining present values and making other computations under § 430.
