Cal. Welfare and Institutions Code § 14199.111

Community Health Workers Account (a) The Community Health Workers Account is hereby created within the Improving Access to Health Care Subfund. Moneys in the Community Health Workers Account shall be used for the purpose of increasing access to community health workers in Medi-Cal programs as set forth in this section. (b) The department shall, subject to the stakeholder input requirements of Section 14199.121, establish a grant program to expand the number of locations and populations served by community health workers providing services on behalf of community-based organizations, community providers, and clinics. (c) (1) On and after January 1, 2030, the maximum allowable balance of unencumbered moneys in this account shall be sixty-four million dollars ($64,000,000). As long as this account is at or above sixty-four million dollars ($64,000,000), moneys otherwise required to be deposited into this account shall instead be deposited on a pro rata basis into the accounts described in paragraphs (1) to (8), inclusive, and (11) to (13), inclusive, of subdivision (d) that are not at or above their maximum allowable balance. (2) This subdivision does not apply if this account is at or above sixty-four million dollars ($64,000,000) as a result of the department violating its nondiscretionary ministerial duty set forth in subdivision (b) of Section 14199.106, or if the accounts described in paragraphs (1) to (8), inclusive, and (11) to (13), inclusive, of subdivision (d) are all simultaneously at or above their maximum allowable balance.
