The amounts allocated in accordance with Schedule A for the 1991–92 fiscal year shall be considered the base allocations for the 1992–93 fiscal year.

(2) The funds allocated pursuant to Schedule B shall be increased to reflect the addition of percentages for the institutions for mental disease allocation pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (c).

(3) The Controller shall allocate three million seven hundred thousand dollars ($3,700,000) to the counties pursuant to a percentage schedule developed by the Director of Health Care Services as specified in subdivision (c) of Section 4095. The funds allocated pursuant to Schedule A shall be increased to reflect the addition of this schedule.

(4) (A) The State Department of Health Care Services may amend Schedule A in order to restore counties funds associated with multicounty regional programs.

(B) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the State Department of Health Care Services shall amend Schedule A for the purpose of establishing mental health base allocations for each county for the 1994–95 fiscal year and fiscal years thereafter, in order to ensure that mental health base allocations for each county do not fall below 75 percent of the allocations for the 1989–90 fiscal year. The money specified in subdivision (c) of former Section 17605.05 shall be used for this purpose.

(b) (1) Schedule B—State Hospital Payment Schedule.

From the amounts allocated in accordance with Schedule A, each county and city shall reimburse the Controller for reimbursement to the State Department of Mental Health, or its successor, the State Department of State Hospitals, for the 1991–92 fiscal year only, an amount equal to one-ninth of the amount identified in Schedule B as modified to reflect adjustments pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 4330, subparagraph (C) of paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) of, and subparagraph (B) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (c) of, Section 1370 of the Penal Code, and subparagraph (C) of paragraph (3) of subdivision (a) of, and subdivision (f) of, Section 1372 of the Penal Code. The reimbursements shall be due the 24th day of each month and the first payment shall be due on October 24, 1991. During the 1992–93 fiscal year and fiscal years thereafter, each monthly reimbursement shall be one-twelfth of the total amount of the county’s contract with the State Department of Mental Health, or its successor, the State Department of State Hospitals, for state hospital services. If a county has not contracted with the State Department of State Hospitals by July 1 of any given fiscal year, each monthly reimbursement shall be an amount equal to one-twelfth the number of beds provided to the county the previous fiscal year multiplied by the current state rate as determined by the State Department of State Hospitals.
