(b) (1) It is the intent of the Legislature that the annual appropriation for, and distribution of, payments pursuant to Attachment 4.19-A shall be reduced as a result of the payment adjustment program set forth in Section 14105.98, but only when federal approval, as described in paragraph (2) of subdivision (d) of Section 14105.98, is gained for that payment adjustment program.
