Administrative Office of the Courts with the base inflation index
figures specified in Section 70355 for January 1996, January 1997,
January 1998, January 1999, and January 2000, to be included in the
approved instructions.
(b) During the period from July 2003, to June 2007, inclusive, on

Office of the Courts with a forecast of the monthly inflation index
figures specified in Section 70355, using a methodology mutually
agreed upon by the department, Administrative Office of the Courts,
and California State Association of Counties. This forecast may be
used to make a preliminary determination of the county facility
payment based on the proposed and final month of transfer.
(c) The department shall provide the Administrative Office of the
Courts with the final revised inflation index figures specified in
Section 70355 when the final data is available from the Bureau of

facility payment at the time of the transfer, the Administrative
Office of the Courts shall recalculate the county facilities payment
based on the final inflation index figures.
(d) Notwithstanding subdivision (c) of Section 70353, any change
in the final county facilities payment made pursuant to subdivision
(c) shall be reflected as an adjustment to the schedule of county
facilities payments at the beginning of the next fiscal year. In
addition, any over or underpayment resulting from the difference
between the final calculation made pursuant to subdivision (c) and
the county facility payment calculation made at the time of transfer
shall be reflected as a one-time adjustment to the amount of the
first county facility payment owed at the beginning of the next
fiscal year.
