Overview
This bill modifies the process by which the Controller notifies local agencies and school districts about adjustments to reimbursement claims for state-mandated costs. Currently, the Controller must notify claimants of adjustments resulting from audits or reviews within 30 days. This bill expands the options available to local agencies, allowing them to offset reduced reimbursements from existing unpaid claims, request an adjustment to the payment, or simply remit funds to the Controller. The bill also clarifies the interest rate applied to overpayments and addresses situations involving fraud or willful delays.
