30027.10. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, if the State Department of Health Care Services determines that a county is failing or is at risk of failing to perform the functions of, or to provide services for, a program or programs funded by the Behavioral Health Subaccount to such an extent that federal Medicaid funds are at risk, the State Department of Health Care Services shall then notify the Controller, the Department of Finance, and the county. This notification shall detail the county at issue, the program or programs involved, and the amounts needed from the subaccount to perform functions or provide services at the level required to fully obtain federal funds. Immediately upon notification, the Controller shall deposit the portion of the county’s allocation attributable to the affected program or programs, including from the Behavioral Health Services Growth Special Account, into the County Intervention Support Services Subaccount in the Support Services Account of the Local Revenue Fund 2011.
(b) Deposits made to the County Intervention Support Services Subaccount may be accessed by the State Department of Health Care Services and shall be used for the county described in the notification and solely for the program or programs identified in the notification.
(c) The county’s allocation attributable to the affected program or programs shall continue to be placed in the County Intervention Support Services Subaccount until the State Department of Health Care Services notifies the Controller that those deposits may cease.
(d) The State Department of Health Care Services shall make an annual report to the fiscal committees of the Legislature regarding activity related to the County Intervention Support Services Subaccount and shall make copies of the documentation available to other interested parties upon request.
