Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any federal and county funds, excluding county funds used for the purposes of § 4011.1 of the Penal Code, received under the provisions of Section 14157 during each fiscal year, as reimbursement for expenditures for health care services authorized under this chapter made from funds transferred to the Health Care Deposit Fund from the General Fund in prior years, shall be transferred from the Health Care Deposit Fund to the General Fund. When a projected deficiency exists in the Medical Assistance Program, these federal and county funds are hereby appropriated from the General Fund to the Health Care Deposit Fund and shall be expended as soon as practicable, but not sooner than 30 days after notification in writing of the necessity therefor, to the chairperson of the committee in each house which considers appropriations, and the Joint Legislative Budget Committee, for the state’s share of payments for medical care and services, county administration, and fiscal intermediary services.
