Government Code section 16366.5

For the 1981–82 state fiscal year, block grants which the state chooses to accept and administer shall be disbursed in grant form and shall be governed by the provisions of this section. The provisions of this section, however, shall apply only to the amount retained in the block and not to the amount transferred into another block, as permitted by federal law. The Governor may transfer funds between block grants only in an amount authorized by the Legislature.

(a)

The Legislature, in cooperation with the appropriate state departments and service providers, shall undertake a study to evaluate the current levels of administrative costs incurred under the Title XX block grant and designate methods for determining and establishing acceptable ceilings for those costs.

(b)

For the Low-Income Energy Assistance Block Grant, the amount spent during the 1981–82 state fiscal year by the state and by service providers for program administration of all federal categorical and block grant programs shall not exceed the percentage levels of administrative costs incurred in the 1980–81 fiscal year which were approved by the Legislature and reflected in each service provider grant in effect on July 1, 1981. In no event shall these administrative costs exceed 5 percent.

(c)

The state shall maintain its level of funding for categorical programs consolidated into federal block grants.
