Summary

Existing law, the Mental Health Services Act (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 and establishes the Mental Health Services Oversight and Accountability Commission to oversee those programs. Existing law requires the State Department of Health Care Services, in consultation with the commission and the County Behavioral Health Directors Association of California, to develop and administer instructions for the Annual Mental Health Services Act Revenue and Expenditure Report, which gathers specified information on mental health spending as a result of the MHSA, including the expenditures of funds distributed to each county. Existing law requires counties to electronically submit the report to the department and the commission. Existing law authorizes the Legislature to add provisions to clarify procedures and terms of the MHSA by majority vote. This bill would additionally require counties to adhere to uniform accounting standards and procedures prescribed by the Controller, as specified, in preparing the reports, with the exception of expenditures or receipts related to capital facilities and technology needs. The bill would instead require those receipts and expenditures to be reported using the cash basis of accounting. By imposing a higher level of service on counties, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. 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.
