million dollars ($950,000,000) from the combined balances of all the
county Children and Families Trust Funds, including reserve funds, as
provided for in subparagraphs (A) and (B) of paragraph (2) of
subdivision (d) of Section 130105, shall be transferred to and

county commissions, account holders for local children and families
trust funds, and county government fiscal agents.
(c) The share of the amount specified in subdivision (a) required
of each county commission shall be determined in the following manner
and subject to the following conditions:
(1) A county commission that received less than six hundred
thousand dollars ($600,000) in California Children and Families Trust
Fund revenues in the 2009-10 fiscal year is exempt from this section
and is not required to deposit funds in the Children and Families
Health and Human Services Fund as part of the budget solution
described in subdivision (a).
(2) By June 30, 2012, each county commission not exempted by
paragraph (1) shall remit for deposit into the Children and Families
Health and Human Services Fund, 50 percent of its county commission
funding, which includes total reserved, total unreserved-designated,
and total unreserved-undesignated local children and families trust
funds as of June 30, 2010. No funds other than revenues received
pursuant to the California Children and Families Act of 1998 shall be
remitted for deposit into the Children and Families Health and Human
Services Fund.
(3) Notwithstanding paragraph (2), county commission payments for
deposit into the Children and Families Health and Human Services Fund
shall not cause any county commission's fund balance to fall below
the amount received by the county commission from the California
Children and Families Trust Fund in the 2009-10 fiscal year.
(4) Full payments to the Children and Families Health and Human
Services Fund shall be made by county commissions within the 2011-12
fiscal year. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no 2012-13
allocation to a county commission shall occur prior to the full
payment being made.
(5) Notwithstanding paragraphs (1) to (4), inclusive, the total
combined remittances from county commissions in the 2011-12 fiscal
year shall equal nine hundred fifty million dollars ($950,000,000).
To the extent paragraphs (1) to (4), inclusive, result in more than
nine hundred fifty million dollars ($950,000,000) being provided by
county commissions in total, the difference shall be proportionally
returned to all contributing county commissions.
(d) Pursuant to subdivision (c), each county commission, as
defined in subdivision (b), shall ensure that the funds for transfer
and deposit to the Children and Families Health and Human Services
Fund are not encumbered and are available for the purposes described
in this section. To the extent that it is necessary or appropriate
for a county commission to disencumber existing obligations to meet
the requirements of this section, the county commission, including,
but not limited to, its representatives, officers, directors, and
employees, including its attorneys and other persons, is hereby
released from any and all liability, rights, claims, demands, and
actions, known and unknown, which any party may have, arising in
connection with the disencumbering of funds, or obligations in
accordance with this section.
(e) After a county commission's share of the nine hundred fifty
million dollars ($950,000,000) specified in subdivision (a) has been
determined pursuant to subdivision (c), that county commission, or
appropriate agent or entity, shall remit those funds to the
Controller for deposit into the Children and Families Health and
Human Services Fund. The entire share of funds for each county
commission shall be remitted within the 2011-12 fiscal year, and may
be done, in equal amounts, on a monthly basis.
