CDCAN Report #067-2010: Schwarzenegger Administration to Proposed Increasing Regional Center Operations and Provider Payment Cut to 4.25% - Budget Subcommittee Hearings on Developmental Services 4/29 and 5/5

Developmental Services Focus of Senate Budget Subcommittee Hearing 4/29 – Assembly Budget Subcommittee Hearing 5/5 Also on IHSS and SSI/SSP – Lanterman DC Proposed Closure to Be Heard Both Dates
SACRAMENTO, CALIF (CDCAN) [Updated 04/26/2010 03:16 PM (Pacific Time)] - The Schwarzenegger Administration will propose increasing the reduction in payments to most regional center providers and regional center operations from 3% to 4.25%, likely effective during the 2010-2011 State Budget year that begins July 1. The Legislature – which already approved extending the 3% cut into the 2010-2011 State Budget year in February, will need to approve the additional cut.
The additional reduction is part of the Governor’s proposed 2010-2011 State Budget released January 8th that called for an additional $25 million in State general fund reductions in spending for regional centers on top of the cuts already enacted last February and July. However the additional 1.25% cut to most regional center provider payments and to regional center operations would total far more than the $25 million cut in State general fund spending the Governor proposed in January.

Bill by Assemblymember Jared Huffman Seeks To Make Certain Budget Fixes To Developmental Services
SACRAMENTO, CALIF (CDCAN) [Updated 09/010/09 4:12 PM (Pacific Time)] - The Senate Human Services Committee, chaired by State Carol Liu (Democrat - Pasadena, 21st District), passed AB 1260 by Assemblymember Jared Huffman (Democrat - San Rafael), by a vote of 4 to 0. The bill referred to Senate Appropriations Committee, where rule waivers from Senate Rules Committee will likely be needed to hear and allow the bill to continue to move forward in the process. The action came late this afternoon.
AB 1260 would make certain specific budget fixes impacting a senior program requirement and respite services. Those reductions were made to developmental services as part of the revised 2009-2010 State Budget enacted in late July among many other cuts to regional center community-based services.
Supporters of the bill said the bill is needed and would fix unintended problems and would be "cost neutral", meaning it would not reduce the savings or reduce the reductions that were passed as part of the 2009-2010 State Budget.
