appropriated, notwithstanding Section 13340 of the Government Code,
without regard to fiscal years, for disbursement monthly to the State
Department of Mental Health for costs incurred pursuant to Chapter 4
(commencing with Section 4330) of Part 2 of Division 4.
   (c) Funds deposited in the Institutions for Mental Disease Account

17601.10.  (a) The State Department of Mental Health may request a
loan from the General Fund in an amount that shall not exceed one
hundred million dollars ($100,000,000) for the purposes of meeting
cash-flow needs in its state hospital operations due to delays in the

the State Department of Mental Health shall determine the amount of

the amount due in Schedule B in the 1991-92 fiscal year or the
contract amount for beds purchased in each subsequent fiscal year.
The State Department of Mental Health shall determine any amounts due
to counties pursuant to subdivision (d) of Section 4330. The State
Department of Mental Health shall invoice each county for any
outstanding balance. Sixty days after an invoice has been provided
and upon notice to the Controller by the State Department of Mental
Health, the Controller shall collect an amount from the county's
allocation to the mental health account of the local health and
welfare trust fund that is sufficient to pay any outstanding balance
of the invoice. If these amounts do not provide sufficient funds to
repay the outstanding loan, the Controller shall liquidate the
balance from the next available deposits into the Mental Health
Subaccount in the Sales Tax Account in the Local Revenue Fund.
