(a) There shall be an appropriation from the Budget Act to the department to fund programs and services to alleviate problems related to inappropriate alcohol use or other drug use as provided for in this part. However, if the state receives additional funds from the federal government after the enactment of the Budget Act, which funds may be augmented by the Director of Finance to the appropriation described in this section in accordance with the Budget Act, then the department shall determine the amount of those funds to be used for allocation to counties, and shall allocate that amount to counties through amendments to executed contracts, within 90 days of receipt of the additional funds to support programs and services to alleviate alcohol-related and other drug-related problems as described in this subdivision. The allocation of all funds pursuant to this subdivision shall comply with federal requirements and with any requirements pursuant to Section 28.00 of the Budget Act.

(b) The requirement set forth in subdivision (a) that the department determine the amount of additional funds to be used for allocation to counties and allocate that amount to counties within 90 days, shall be waived when the 90-day period does not allow sufficient time for completion of the notification period pursuant to Section 28.00 of the Budget Act.
