Summary

The bill changes how the Controller audits and notifies local agencies about reimbursement claims for state‑mandated costs. It requires written notice of any adjustment within 30 days and gives districts the option to offset reduced payments, request adjustments, or remit funds. These changes aim to make the reimbursement process clearer and give local entities more control over payment adjustments.
