Summary

Existing law, the Mental Health Services Act (the MHSA) , an initiative measure enacted by the voters as Proposition 63 at the November 2, 2004, statewide general election, establishes the continuously appropriated Mental Health Services Fund to fund various county mental health programs by imposing a tax of 1% on incomes above $1,000,000. Existing law requires the State Department of Health Care Services, among other things, to implement specified mental health services through contracts with county mental health programs or counties acting jointly. The MHSA establishes the Mental Health Services Oversight and Accountability Commission to oversee various parts of the act, as specified. Under the MHSA, funds are distributed to counties for local assistance for designated mental health programs according to a specified county plan. The MHSA authorizes a county to maintain a prudent reserve to ensure that services do not have to be significantly reduced in years in which revenues are below the average of previous years. The MHSA, except as specified, requires any funds allocated to a county that have not been spent for their authorized purpose within 3 years to revert to the state to be deposited into the fund and available for other counties in future years. The MHSA permits amendment by the Legislature by a 23 vote of each house if the amendment is consistent with, and furthers the intent of, the MHSA, and also permits the Legislature to add provisions to clarify procedures and terms of the MHSA by a majority vote. This bill would clarify that the value of a prudent reserve for a Local Mental Health Services Fund shall not exceed 33% of the average community services and support revenue received for the fund, in the preceding 5 years. The bill would require the county to reassess the maximum amount of the prudent reserve every 5 years and to certify the reassessment as part of its 3-year program and expenditure plan required by the MHSA. By requiring a new assessment and certification to be made by the counties, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. This bill would establish the Reversion Account within the fund, and would require that MHSA funds reverting from the counties, and the interest accrued on those funds, be placed in that account. Existing law deems all unspent MHSA funds that were subject to reversion as of July 1, 2017, as having been reverted and reallocated to the county of origin for the purposes for which they were originally allocated. Existing law requires each county with these reallocated funds, by July 1, 2018, to prepare a plan to expend those funds before July 1, 2020. This bill would require the counties to submit the plans to expend the reallocated funds to the commission. The bill would require the reallocated funds to revert to the state if a county has not submitted a plan for the expenditure of the reallocated funds by January 1, 2019. Additionally, the bill would require the reallocated funds in the plan that have not been spent or encumbered by July 1, 2020, to revert to the state, as specified. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.
