BILL NUMBER: AB 2851INTRODUCED BILL TEXT INTRODUCED BY Assembly Member Maienschein FEBRUARY 19, 2016 An act to amend Section 17560 of the Government Code, relating to state mandates. LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST AB 2851, as introduced, Maienschein. State mandates. Under the California Constitution, when the Legislature or a state agency mandates a new program or higher level of service on any local government, including school districts, the state is required to provide a subvention of funds to reimburse that local government for the costs of that new program or higher level of service, with specified exceptions. Existing law authorizes a local agency or school district to file an annual reimbursement claim detailing these state-mandated costs, as specified. This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to that law. Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no. State-mandated local program: no. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. Section 17560 of the Government Code is amended to read: 17560. Reimbursement for state-mandated costs may be claimed as follows: (a) A local agency or school district may, by February 15 following the fiscal year in which costs are incurred, file an annual reimbursement claim that details the costs actually incurred for that fiscal year. (b)In the eventIf revised claiming instructions are issued by the Controller pursuant to subdivision (c) of Section 17558 between November 15 and February 15, a local agency or school district filing an annual reimbursement claim shall have 120 days following the issuance date of the revised claiming instructions to file a claim.
