Commission on State Mandates

The Commission on State Mandates in Sacramento, California, is responsible for hearing and deciding test claims from local agencies and school districts regarding reimbursable state-mandated programs. Upon approval of a test claim, the Commission adopts parameters and guidelines for reimbursement and prepares statewide cost estimates related to such mandates.

Additionally, the Commission addresses claims about incorrect payment reductions by the State Controller's Office, evaluates requests for mandate redeterminations, and reviews claiming instructions. It also determines if mandated programs with appropriations over three consecutive years should be included in the State Mandates Apportionment System, ensuring compliance with legislative requirements and financial accountability.
