(b)
The scope and costs of the projects described in subdivision (a) of this section shall be subject to approval and administrative oversight by the State Public Works Board, including augmentations, pursuant to Section 13332.11 or 13332.19 of the Government Code. The availability of an augmentation for each individual project allocation shall be based on the total applicable capital outlay appropriation contained in Section 28 of

The appropriation may be allocated based on current estimates. These initial allocations may be adjusted commensurate to changes that occur during the progression of the projects. As allocations are made or adjusted, the anticipated deficit or savings shall be continuously tracked and reported. Once the total appropriation has been allocated, any augmentation
necessary to fund an anticipated deficit shall be based on the total appropriation and allocated to each project as necessary. Concurrent with the request to the board to establish each project authorized pursuant to this section, the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation shall report the associated scope, cost, and schedule information to the Joint Legislative Budget Committee.
