A city or local agency that meets specified requirements is authorized to apply to the secretary to implement the unified program, and every county is required to apply to the secretary to be certified to implement the unified program as a Certified Unified Program Agency (CUPA) . Existing law establishes the Rural CUPA Reimbursement Account in the General Fund, and requires the Secretary for Environmental Protection to allocate funds to counties with populations of less than 150,000 persons for which a CUPA has not been certified on or before January 1, 2000, and in which the unified program has been implemented by a CUPA designated by the secretary, as specified, in amounts not to exceed designated percentages of budgeted costs. This bill, contingent on an appropriation for its purposes, would make every county with a population of less than 150,000 persons eligible for these funds without regard to the date of certification or the qualification regarding CUPA implementation of the unified program.
