Notwithstanding any specific statute to the contrary, the State Controller may enter into an agreement with a debtor to accept the payment of a portion of the debt in full satisfaction of the debt, including any penalty and interest, if:
1. The State Controller determines that accepting the agreed upon amount is likely to generate more net revenue for the State than continuing efforts to collect the full amount of the debt; and
2. The agency to which the debt is owed approves.
