(a) The 1981–82 state fiscal year shall be a transition year during which the Legislature shall require certain critical reviews and reports as it deems necessary to assist in developing the policies to govern the state’s assumption of both federal categorical and block grants as contained in the federal Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1981. The Governor shall instruct state agencies to cooperate fully with the Legislature in complying with this article.
(b) All departments affected shall prepare a separate summary of programs, funding levels, contracting progress, and clients affected by funding reductions during the 1981–82 state fiscal year and separately identify the transition programs for which they would have any policy or administrative responsibilities no later than October 15, 1981. The summary of the 1981–82 state fiscal year funding reductions shall be submitted to the Joint Legislative Budget Committee and to the fiscal committee of each house.
(c) The Governor shall submit all relevant information, including, but not limited to, program identification, estimates of the types, levels, and distribution of clients affected, and estimates of federal funding levels as part of the proposed budget for the 1982–83 state fiscal year, and shall separately highlight and summarize this information in the proposed budget, incorporating any policy recommendations for the review of the Legislature.
(d) The Governor shall submit for the review of the Legislature at the same time a proposal for the structural and administrative organization of all federal programs to be administered by the state as of July 1, 1982.
