<ns0:Title> An act to repeal Section 11351.5 of the Welfare and Institutions Code, relating to public social services. </ns0:Title>

<ns0:DigestText>
<html:p>Existing federal law provides for allocation of federal funds through the federal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) block grant program to eligible states. Existing law provides for the California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs) program under which, through a combination of state and county funds and federal funds received through the TANF program, each county provides cash assistance and other benefits to qualified low-income families. Existing law requires an unrelated adult male who resides with a family who is applying for or receiving aid from the CalWORKs program to make a financial contribution to the family, as specified.</html:p>
<html:p>This bill would repeal those provisions requiring an unrelated adult male who resides with a family applying for or receiving aid from the CalWORKs program to make a financial
contribution to the family. By expanding eligibility for the CalWORKs program, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.</html:p>
<html:p>Existing law continuously appropriates moneys from the General Fund to defray a portion of county costs under the CalWORKs program.</html:p>
<html:p>This bill would provide that the continuous appropriation would not be made for purposes of implementing the bill.</html:p>
<html:p>The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.</html:p>
<html:p>This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.</html:p>
