(b) (1) Upon receiving federal approval for an emergency assistance program and prior to implementation, the department shall notify the appropriate policy and fiscal committees of the Legislature of its intent to implement the emergency assistance program. The notification shall identify those portions of paragraph (2) of subdivision (f) of Section 11450 which are intended to be superseded by the emergency assistance program.
(2) Except as provided in this subdivision, the emergency assistance program for which notification is submitted to the Legislature pursuant to paragraph (1) shall become effective the first day after 120 calendar days of continuous session of the Legislature after the date on which the notification is transmitted, or at a later date as may be indicated in the notification, unless, prior to the end of the 120-calendar-day period, either house of the Legislature adopts by a majority vote of the duly elected and qualified members thereof a resolution indicating disapproval of the proposed emergency assistance program.
(3) As used in this section, “120 calendar days of continuous session” shall be deemed broken only by an adjournment sine die, but in computing the 120 calendar days for the purposes of this section, days on which either house is not in session because of a recess of more than 10 days shall not be included.
