2005 California Government Code Sections 12785-12787 Article 11. Authorization and Fund Allocations

12785.  All Community Services Block Grant funds made available by
the Congress shall be used by the state, together with any state
funds as may from time to time be appropriated for this program, and
any funds as may be transferred to this program from other federal
block grants, in accordance with the annual Budget Act.
   No transfer of funds is permitted, under any circumstance, from
the California Community Services Block Grant Program to any other
block grant or program administered by the state or by the federal
government.
   In the event that diminished federal appropriations for the
Community Services Block Grant result in California's share for any
fiscal year being reduced by any amount up to 3.5 percent below the
amount appropriated in the annual Budget Act, the director shall use
the discretionary fund to proportionately restore Community Services
Block Grant grantees and contractors to full funding levels.
   In the event that diminished federal appropriations for the
Community Services Block Grant result in California's share for any
federal fiscal year being reduced by 5 percent or more below the
amount appropriated in the annual Budget Act, the director and the
Department of Economic Opportunity Advisory Commission shall so
inform the Speaker of the Assembly and the President pro Tempore of
the Senate by letter within 10 days of the congressional action
authorizing the diminished appropriations.  At the end of the state
fiscal year in which the letters were transmitted, the requirements
of this section shall be suspended until the Legislature makes a
statutory determination regarding the adjustments in fund allocations
to be made in response to the above-described contingency.
12786.  The state shall set aside up to 5 percent of the total
Community Services Block Grant for discretionary use for special
projects, training, technical assistance,  and special support
programs.  Entities eligible to receive these discretionary funds
shall include, but not be limited to, limited purpose agencies as
defined in subdivision (a) of Section 12775, and community-based
nonprofit  organizations without tripartite boards.
12787.  Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to prohibit a
grantee under Article 6 (commencing with Section 12750), 7
(commencing with Section 12765), or 8 (commencing with Section
12770), from applying for state discretionary funds, provided that no
discretionary funding received by such a grantee shall be used to
duplicate services funded pursuant to other provisions of this
chapter.
