Statute text

(a)When authorized or required by the Legislature in the Budget Act, the Department of Finance may exercise control over the adoption of regulations as provided in this section. The Legislature shall not authorize or require the Department of Finance in the Budget Act to review and approve regulations adopted by state agencies except:

(1)Regulations adopted by the Department of Social Services which add to the cost of any public assistance programs as these are defined in Section 10061 of the Welfare and Institutions Code.

(2)Regulations adopted by a state agency which would have the effect of increasing expenditures from the Health Care Deposit Fund under the Medical Assistance Program. The Department of Finance shall limit its review of a regulation under this section to making a determination as to whether sufficient funds are available to fund the added program expenditures which would be incurred if the regulation were adopted. In making the determination concerning the sufficiency of funds to meet the costs of the regulation, the Director of Finance shall consider the amount of the costs which would be added to the program or the increased expenditures from the Health Care Deposit Fund for the fiscal year during which the costs or expenditures would be incurred, the effect such a change would have on the expenditure limitations established in the Budget Act for that year, and the extent to which the regulation constitutes a deviation from the program requirements, the assumptions, and the estimates which were the basis for establishing the expenditure limitations in the Budget Act.
