AB 2268

Bill Subjects

Abstract

Under existing law, various state and local agencies fund or administer programs to provide services, such as public health information, social services, and education and child care resources, to eligible persons. This bill would require state and local agencies to create and implement mechanisms to supplement place-based and regional funding strategies, as defined, to improve the equitable distribution of public resources in relation to funding community-based organizations, as defined, for the provision of health and human services and educational services. Because this bill would increase the duties of local officials, this bill would create 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 these statutory provisions.
