Quick answers

Did CA AB 2640 pass?

Yes. CA AB 2640 has been enacted into law. Latest recorded action (2026-09-18): Chaptered by Secretary of State - Chapter 307, Statutes of 2026.

What is CA AB 2640 about?

Existing law creates the Commission on State Mandates and establishes procedures for implementing the requirement in the California Constitution that the state reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Existing law makes a reimbursement claim for actual costs filed by a local agency or school district subject to the initiation of an audit by the Controller and authorizes the Controller to make a field review of a claim after it has been submitted but before it has been reimbursed. Existing law requires the Controller to notify the claimant in writing within 30 days after issuance of a remittance advice of any adjustment to a claim for reimbursement that results from an audit or review. This bill would, instead, require the Controller to notify the claimant in writing within 30 days of any adjustment that results from an audit or review. The bill would also allow a local agency or school district, upon receipt of the notice, to elect, at its discretion, to have the Controller offset any reduced reimbursement, as prescribed, or to adjust the payment of claims.
