OCA proposes progressive enforcement: commensurate spending‑target penalties with adjustment factors and procedural fines
OCA proposed calculating spending‑target penalties initially as the excess spending growth over the target (commensurate penalty), then adjusting up or down using statutory justification factors; staff suggested a range up to 125% of the commensurate amount and procedural penalties for PIP noncompliance (up to $10,000/day or $500,000 flat). Committee members raised concerns about double counting and public disclosure.
