April 7, 2005

E2SSB 5581        Prime Sponsor, Senate Committee On Ways & Means: Establishing the life sciences discovery fund. (REVISED FOR ENGROSSED: Establishing the life sciences discovery fund authority.) Reported by Committee on Appropriations

 

MAJORITY recommendation: Do pass as amended by Committee on Appropriations and without amendment by Committee on Technology, Energy & Communications:


        Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:


        "NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. LEGISLATIVE DECLARATION. The legislature declares that promoting the health of state residents is a fundamental purpose of state government. The legislature declares it to be a clear public purpose and governmental function to promote life sciences research to foster a preventive and predictive vision of the next generation of health-related innovations, to enhance the competitive position of Washington state in this vital sector of the economy, and to improve the quality and delivery of health care for the people of Washington. The legislature finds that public support for and promotion of life sciences research will benefit the state and its residents through improved health status and health outcomes, economic development, and contributions to scientific knowledge, and such research will lead to breakthroughs and improvements that might not otherwise be discovered due to lack of existing market incentives, especially in the area of regenerative medicine. The legislature finds that public support for and promotion of life sciences research has the potential to provide cures or new treatments for many debilitating diseases that cost the state millions of dollars each year. It is appropriate and consistent with the intent of the master settlement agreement between the state and tobacco product manufacturers to invest a portion of the revenues derived therefrom by the state in life sciences research, to leverage the revenues with other funds, and to encourage cooperation and innovation among public and private institutions involved in life sciences research. The purpose of this chapter is to establish a life sciences discovery fund authority, to grant that authority the power to contract with the state to receive revenues under the master settlement agreement, and to contract with other entities to receive other funds, and to disburse those funds consistent with the purpose of this chapter. The life sciences discovery fund is intended to promote the best available research in life sciences disciplines through diverse Washington institutions and to foster improved health care outcomes and improved agricultural production research across this state and the world. The research investments of the life sciences discovery fund are intended to further the goals of the "Bio 21" report and to support future statewide, comprehensive strategies to lead the nation in life sciences-related research and employment.


        NEW SECTION. Sec. 2. DEFINITIONS. The definitions in this section apply throughout this chapter unless the context clearly requires otherwise.

        (1) "Authority" means the life sciences discovery fund authority created in this chapter.

        (2) "Board" means the governing board of trustees of the authority.

        (3) "Contribution agreement" means any agreement authorized under this chapter in which a private entity or a public entity other than the state agrees to provide to the authority contributions for the purpose of promoting life sciences research.

        (4) "Life sciences research" means advanced and applied research and development intended to improve human health, including scientific study of the developing brain and human learning and development, and other areas of scientific research and development vital to the state's economy.

        (5) "Master settlement agreement" means the national master settlement agreement and related documents entered into on November 23, 1998, by the state and the four principal United States tobacco product manufacturers, as amended and supplemented, for the settlement of litigation brought by the state against the tobacco product manufacturers.

        (6) "Public employee" means any person employed by the state of Washington or any agency or political subdivision thereof.

        (7) "Public facilities" means any public institution, public facility, public equipment, or any physical asset owned, leased, or controlled by the state of Washington or any agency or political subdivision thereof.

        (8) "Public funds" means any funds received or controlled by the state of Washington or any agency or political subdivision thereof, including, but not limited to, funds derived from federal, state, or local taxes, gifts or grants from any source, public or private, federal grants or payments, or intergovernmental transfers.

        (9) "State agreement" means the agreement authorized under this chapter in which the state provides to the authority the strategic contribution payments required to be made by tobacco product manufacturers to the state and the state's rights to receive such payments, pursuant to the master settlement agreement, for the purpose of promoting life sciences research.

        (10) "Strategic contribution payments" means the payments designated as such under the master settlement agreement, which will be made to the state in the years 2008 through 2017.

The term of the trustees, other than the chair, is four years from the date of their appointment, except that the terms of three of the initial gubernatorial appointees, as determined by the governor, are for two years from the date of their appointment. A trustee appointed by the governor may be removed by the governor for cause under RCW 43.06.070 and 43.06.080. The appropriate official shall fill any vacancy on the board by appointment for the remainder of the unexpired term.

HUMAN SERVICES


        NEW SECTION. Sec. 201. FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL AND HEALTH SERVICES.

        (1) Appropriations made in this act to the department of social and health services shall initially be allotted as required by this act. Subsequent allotment modifications shall not include transfers of moneys between sections of this act except as expressly provided in this act, nor shall allotment modifications permit moneys that are provided solely for a specified purpose to be used for other than that purpose.

        (2) The department of social and health services shall not initiate any services that require expenditure of state general fund moneys unless expressly authorized in this act or other law. The department may seek, receive, and spend, under RCW 43.79.260 through 43.79.282, federal moneys not anticipated in this act as long as the federal funding does not require expenditure of state moneys for the program in excess of amounts anticipated in this act. If the department receives unanticipated unrestricted federal moneys, those moneys shall be spent for services authorized in this act or in any other legislation providing appropriation authority, and an equal amount of appropriated state general fund moneys shall lapse. Upon the lapsing of any moneys under this subsection, the office of financial management shall notify the legislative fiscal committees. As used in this subsection, "unrestricted federal moneys" includes block grants and other funds that federal law does not require to be spent on specifically defined projects or matched on a formula basis by state funds.

        (3) The department is authorized to develop an integrated health care program designed to slow the progression of illness and disability and better manage Medicaid expenditures for the aged and disabled population. Under this Washington medicaid integration partnership (WMIP) the department may combine and transfer such Medicaid funds appropriated under sections 204, 206, 208, and 209 of this act as may be necessary to finance a unified health care plan for the WMIP program enrollment. The WMIP pilot projects shall not exceed a daily enrollment of 6,000 persons during the 2005-2007 biennium. The amount of funding assigned to the pilot projects from each program may not exceed the average per capita cost assumed in this act for individuals covered by that program, actuarially adjusted for the health condition of persons enrolled in the pilot, times the number of clients enrolled in the pilot. In implementing the WMIP pilot projects, the department may: (a) Withhold from calculations of "available resources" as set forth in RCW 71.24.025 a sum equal to the capitated rate for individuals enrolled in the pilots; and (b) employ capitation financing and risk-sharing arrangements in collaboration with health care service contractors licensed by the office of the insurance commissioner and qualified to participate in both the medicaid and medicare programs. The department shall conduct an evaluation of the WMIP, measuring changes in participant health outcomes, changes in patterns of service utilization, participant satisfaction, participant access to services, and the state fiscal impact.

        (4) In accordance with RCW 74.39A.300, the appropriations to the department of social and health services in this act are sufficient to implement the compensation and fringe benefits of the collective bargaining agreement reached between the governor and the exclusive bargaining representative of individual providers of home care services.

        The appropriations in this subsection are subject to the following conditions and limitations:

        (a) $213,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2006, $422,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2007, and $600,000 of the general fund--federal appropriation are provided solely to increase compensation for direct care workers employed by home care agencies by 27 cents per hour on July 1, 2005, and by an additional 23 cents per hour on July 1, 2006. The amounts in this subsection also include the funds needed for the employer share of unemployment and social security taxes on the amount of the increase.

        (b) The entire health services account appropriation and $904,000 of the general fund--federal appropriation are provided solely for health care benefits for agency home care workers who are employed through state contracts for at least twenty hours a week.

        (i) For the period of July 1, 2005, through December 31, 2005, home care agencies may obtain coverage either through the basic health plan or through an alternative plan that provides substantially equivalent benefits.

        (ii) The department, in consultation with the health care authority, shall establish a health benefits purchasing cooperative for agency home care workers. The health benefits offered through the cooperative shall provide substantially equivalent benefits to the 2003 basic health plan benefits package. The cooperative shall offer coverage beginning January 1, 2006.

        (iii) Beginning January 1, 2006, home care agencies must obtain coverage either through the basic health plan, the health benefits purchasing cooperative established in (b)(ii) of this subsection, or the Taft Hartley trust established in accordance with the collective bargaining agreement for individual providers of home care services.

        (c) Individuals receiving family support or high school transition payments as supplemental security income (SSI) state supplemental payments shall not become eligible for medical assistance under RCW 74.09.510 due solely to the receipt of SSI state supplemental payments.

        (d) $712,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2006, $1,955,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2007, and $2,667,000 of the general fund--federal appropriation are provided solely for community residential and support services. Funding in this subsection shall be prioritized for (i) residents of residential habilitation centers who are able to be adequately cared for in community settings and who choose to live in those community settings; (ii) clients without residential services who are at immediate risk of institutionalization or in crisis; (iii) children who are aging out of other state services; (iv) children who require an out-of-home placement because of the intense level of support required to care for them in the home; and (v) current home and community-based waiver program clients who have been assessed as having an immediate need for increased services. The department shall ensure that the average cost per day for all program services other than start-up costs shall not exceed $300. In order to maximize the number of clients served and ensure the cost-effectiveness of the waiver programs, the department will strive to limit new client placement expenditures to 90 percent of the budgeted daily rate. If this can be accomplished, additional clients may be served with excess funds provided the total projected carry-forward expenditures do not exceed the amounts estimated. The department shall electronically report to the appropriate committees of the legislature, within 45 days following each fiscal year quarter, the number of persons served with these additional community services, where they were residing, what kinds of services they were receiving prior to placement, and the actual expenditures for all community services to support these clients.

Funding in this subsection shall be prioritized for (i) clients being diverted or discharged from the state psychiatric hospitals; (ii) clients participating in the dangerous mentally ill offender program; (iii) clients participating in the community protection program; and (iv) mental health crisis diversion outplacements. The department shall ensure that the average cost per day for all program services other than start-up costs shall not exceed $300. In order to maximize the number of clients served and ensure the cost-effectiveness of the waiver programs, the department will strive to limit new client placement expenditures to 90 percent of the budgeted daily rate. If this can be accomplished, additional clients may be served with excess funds if the total projected carry-forward expenditures do not exceed the amounts estimated. The department shall implement the four new waiver programs such that decisions about enrollment levels and the amount, duration, and scope of services maintain expenditures within appropriations. The department shall electronically report to the appropriate committees of the legislature, within 45 days following each fiscal year quarter, the number of persons served with these additional community services, where they were residing, what kinds of services they were receiving prior to placement, and the actual expenditures for all community services to support these clients.

        The appropriations in this section are subject to the following conditions and limitations:

        (1) Based on quarterly expenditure reports and caseload forecasts, if the department estimates that expenditures for the medical assistance program will exceed the appropriations, the department shall take steps including but not limited to reduction of rates or elimination of optional services to reduce expenditures so that total program costs do not exceed the annual appropriation authority.

        (2) The department shall continue to extend medicaid eligibility to children through age 18 residing in households with incomes below 200 percent of the federal poverty level.

        (3) In determining financial eligibility for medicaid-funded services, the department is authorized to disregard recoveries by Holocaust survivors of insurance proceeds or other assets, as defined in RCW 48.104.030.

        (4) Sufficient amounts are appropriated in this section for the department to continue podiatry services for medicaid-eligible adults.

        (5) Sufficient amounts are appropriated in this section for the department to provide an adult dental benefit that is equivalent to the benefit provided in the 2003-05 biennium.

        (6) In accordance with RCW 74.46.625, $6,000,000 of the general fund--federal appropriation is provided solely for supplemental payments to nursing homes operated by public hospital districts. The public hospital district shall be responsible for providing the required nonfederal match for the supplemental payment, and the payments shall not exceed the maximum allowable under federal rules. It is the legislature's intent that the payments shall be supplemental to and shall not in any way offset or reduce the payments calculated and provided in accordance with part E of chapter 74.46 RCW. It is the legislature's further intent that costs otherwise allowable for rate-setting and settlement against payments under chapter 74.46 RCW shall not be disallowed solely because such costs have been paid by revenues retained by the nursing home from these supplemental payments.

        (7) $1,660,000 of the health services account appropriation, $4,361,000 of the general fund--federal appropriation, $1,350,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2006, and $1,351,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2007 are provided solely for grants to rural hospitals. The department shall distribute the funds under a formula that provides a relatively larger share of the available funding to hospitals that (a) serve a disproportionate share of low-income and medically indigent patients and (b) have relatively smaller net financial margins, to the extent allowed by the federal medicaid program.

        (8) $22,081,000 of the health services account appropriation and $20,714,000 of the general fund--federal appropriation are provided solely for grants to nonrural hospitals. The department shall distribute the funds under a formula that provides a relatively larger share of the available funding to hospitals that (a) serve a disproportionate share of low-income and medically indigent patients and (b) have relatively smaller net financial margins, to the extent allowed by the federal medicaid program.

        (9) In response to the federal directive to eliminate intergovernmental transfer transactions effective June 30, 2005, the department is directed to implement the inpatient hospital certified public expenditures program for the 2005-07 biennium. The program shall apply to all public hospitals, including those owned or operated by the state, except those classified as critical access hospitals or state psychiatric institutions. Hospitals in the program shall be paid and shall retain (a) one hundred percent of the federal portion of each medicaid inpatient fee-for-service claim payable by the medical assistance administration; and (b) one hundred percent of the federal portion of the maximum disproportionate share hospital payment allowable under federal regulations. Medicaid fee-for-service claim amounts shall be established by applying the department's ratio of costs to charges payment methodology. The department shall provide participating hospitals with the information needed by the hospital to certify the public expenditures required to qualify for the federal portions of both the medicaid inpatient fee-for-service payments and the disproportionate share hospital payments. The legislature intends that hospitals in the program receive no less in combined state and federal payments than they would have received under the methodology that was in place during fiscal year 2005. In the event that any part of the program including, but not limited to, allowable certified public expenditures, is disallowed by the federal government, the department shall not seek recoupment of payments from the hospitals, provided the hospitals have complied with the directions of the department for participation in the program. The department shall therefore make additional grant payments, not to exceed the amounts provided in this subsection, to hospitals whose total payments under the program would otherwise be less than the total state and federal payments they would have received under the methodology in effect during fiscal year 2005. $37,034,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2006, $37,552,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2007, $8,300,000 of the emergency medical services and trauma care systems trust account--state appropriation, and $45,450,000 of the general fund--federal appropriation are provided solely for new state grant and upper payment limit programs for the participating hospitals.

        (10) $4,372,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2006, $4,014,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2007, and $65,112,000 of the general fund--federal appropriation are provided solely for development and implementation of a replacement system for the existing medicaid management information system.

        (11) $150,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2006, $75,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2007, and $225,000 of the general fund--federal appropriation are provided solely for the department to contract for an independent analysis of the medical assistance administration's current system for establishing hospital inpatient payment rates, and for recommendations on a new or updated system. The department shall submit an interim report of study findings by December 1, 2005, and a final report by November 15, 2006. The interim report shall include a comparison of the strengths and weaknesses of the current rate-setting system relative to those used by other state, federal, and private payers, including states with all-payer hospital rate setting systems. The final report shall include recommendations on the design and implementation of a new or updated system that will promote equity among hospitals, access to quality care and improved health outcomes for patients, and cost-control and efficiency for taxpayers. The study should make use of complete and current cost data from a wide variety of hospitals, recognize unique aspects of hospital service delivery structures and medicaid payment systems in Washington, recognize impacts on productivity and quality of care that may result from hospital compensation, recruitment, and retention policies, and provide opportunities for comment and participation by key interest groups in the identification and assessment of alternatives.

        (12) Payment rates for hospital inpatient and outpatient services shall be increased by an average of 1.5 percent effective July 1, 2005, and by an average of an additional 1.5 percent effective July 1, 2006. The increases shall be provided only on the portion of a hospital's rate that excludes medical education and outlier costs, and shall be allocated so that hospitals with lower costs of care (excluding medical education and outlier costs) receive larger percentage increases than those with higher costs of care. The increases shall be allocated in three percentage increments, with the lowest-cost hospitals receiving the largest percentage rate increase, highest-cost hospitals receiving the smallest percentage increase, and medium-cost hospitals receiving the average of the highest and the lowest percentage rate increase. Increases shall not be provided to those hospitals that are certified as critical access. Sufficient funds are appropriated in this section for Healthy Options contractors to increase hospital payment rates commensurate with the increases in fee-for-service payment rates.

        (13) When a person is ineligible for medicaid solely by reason of residence in an institution for mental diseases, the department shall provide the person with the same benefits as he or she would receive if eligible for medicaid, using state-only funds to the extent necessary.

        (14) The medical assistance administration is authorized to use funds appropriated in this section to purchase goods and supplies through direct contracting with vendors when the administration determines it is cost-effective to do so.

        (15) The legislature affirms that it is in the state's interest for Harborview medical center to remain an economically viable component of the state's health care system.

        (16) By October 1, 2005, the department shall recommend to the governor and legislature at least two pilot project designs which seem likely to reduce avoidable emergency room utilization at no net cost to the state within the projects' first eighteen months of operation.

        (17) $69,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2006, $137,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2007, and $207,000 of the general fund--federal appropriation are provided solely for participation in the health technology assessment program required in section 214(6) of this act.

        (18) The department is also required to participate in the joint health purchasing project described in section 214(7) of this act.

        (19) The department shall, within available resources, continue operation of the medical care services care management pilot project for clients receiving general assistance benefits in King and Pierce counties. The project may use a full or partial capitation model that includes a mechanism for shared savings. To the extent that experience with the pilot project indicates progress toward the goals of maximizing care coordination, high-risk medical management, and chronic care management to achieve better health outcomes, the department may expand the pilot project to additional counties.

        (20) The department will begin voluntary enrollment of SSI and other eligible medicaid elderly and disabled persons into managed care pilots by March 2006.

        (21) Within the funding provided in section 207(2) of this act, the medical assistance administration and the economic services administration may implement a time-limited transitional prescription drug benefit for general assistance unemployable recipients who obtain employment and who have no other source of health insurance coverage. The benefit shall be limited to coverage of prescription drugs and medication management. The benefit shall be limited to one year. The department shall implement a premium schedule for the benefits under this subsection that is related to the participant's income. The minimum premium shall be twenty dollars per month. Recipients of this transitional benefit shall not be considered part of the general assistance caseload unless eligibility is established under standard reapplication procedures.

        (2) A maximum of $796,000 of this fiscal year 2006 appropriation and a maximum of $812,000 of the fiscal year 2007 appropriation may be expended for regional transportation coordinators and related activities. The transportation coordinators shall ensure that data submitted by school districts for state transportation funding shall, to the greatest extent practical, reflect the actual transportation activity of each district.

        (3) $5,000 of the fiscal year 2006 appropriation and $5,000 of the fiscal year 2007 appropriation are provided solely for the transportation of students enrolled in "choice" programs. Transportation shall be limited to low-income students who are transferring to "choice" programs solely for educational reasons.

        (4) Allocations for transportation of students shall be based on reimbursement rates of $41.40 per weighted mile in the 2005-06 school year and $41.85 per weighted mile in the 2006-07 school year exclusive of salary and benefit adjustments provided in section 504 of this act. Allocations for transportation of students transported more than one radius mile shall be based on weighted miles as determined by superintendent of public instruction multiplied by the per mile reimbursement rates for the school year pursuant to the formulas adopted by the superintendent of public instruction. Allocations for transportation of students living within one radius mile shall be based on the number of enrolled students in grades kindergarten through five living within one radius mile of their assigned school multiplied by the per mile reimbursement rate for the school year multiplied by 1.29.

        (5) For busses purchased between July 1, 2005, and June 30, 2007, the office of superintendent of public instruction shall provide reimbursement funding to a school district only after the superintendent of public instruction determines that the school bus was purchased from the list established pursuant to RCW 28A.160.195(2) or a comparable competitive bid process based on the lowest price quote based on similar bus categories to those used to establish the list pursuant to RCW 28A.160.195.

        (6) Beginning with the 2005-06 school year, the superintendent of public instruction shall base depreciation payments for school district buses on the five-year average of lowest bids in the appropriate category of bus. In the final year on the depreciation schedule, the depreciation payment shall be based on the current state price. The superintendent may include a weighting or other adjustment factor in the averaging formula to ease the transition from the current-price depreciation system to the average depreciation system. Prior to making any depreciation payment in the 2005-06 school year, the superintendent shall notify the office of financial management and the fiscal committees of the legislature of the specific depreciation formula to be used. The replacement cost shall be based on the lowest bid in the appropriate bus category for that school year. A maximum of $50,000 of the fiscal year 2006 appropriation may be expended for software programming costs associated with the implementation of this subsection.

        The appropriations in this section are subject to the following conditions and limitations:

        (1) Funding for special education programs is provided on an excess cost basis, pursuant to RCW 28A.150.390. School districts shall ensure that special education students as a class receive their full share of the general apportionment allocation accruing through sections 502 and 504 of this act. To the extent a school district cannot provide an appropriate education for special education students under chapter 28A.155 RCW through the general apportionment allocation, it shall provide services through the special education excess cost allocation funded in this section.

        (2)(a) The superintendent of public instruction shall use the excess cost methodology developed and implemented for the 2001-02 school year using the S-275 personnel reporting system and all related accounting requirements to ensure that:

        (i) Special education students are basic education students first;

        (ii) As a class, special education students are entitled to the full basic education allocation; and

        (iii) Special education students are basic education students for the entire school day.

        (b) The S-275 and accounting changes in effect since the 2001-02 school year shall supercede any prior excess cost methodologies and shall be required of all school districts.

        (3) Each fiscal year appropriation includes such funds as are necessary to complete the school year ending in the fiscal year and for prior fiscal year adjustments.

        (4) The superintendent of public instruction shall distribute state and federal funds to school districts based on two categories: The optional birth through age two program for special education eligible developmentally delayed infants and toddlers, and the mandatory special education program for special education eligible students ages three to twenty-one. A "special education eligible student" means a student receiving specially designed instruction in accordance with a properly formulated individualized education program.

        (5)(a) For the 2005-06 and 2006-07 school years, the superintendent shall make allocations to each district based on the sum of:

        (i) A district's annual average headcount enrollment of developmentally delayed infants and toddlers ages birth through two, multiplied by the district's average basic education allocation per full-time equivalent student, multiplied by 1.15; and

        (ii) A district's annual average full-time equivalent basic education enrollment multiplied by the funded enrollment percent determined pursuant to subsection (6)(b) of this section, multiplied by the district's average basic education allocation per full-time equivalent student multiplied by 0.9309.

        (b) For purposes of this subsection, "average basic education allocation per full-time equivalent student" for a district shall be based on the staffing ratios required by RCW 28A.150.260 and shall not include enhancements, secondary vocational education, or small schools.

        (6) The definitions in this subsection apply throughout this section.

        (a) "Annual average full-time equivalent basic education enrollment" means the resident enrollment including students enrolled through choice (RCW 28A.225.225) and students from nonhigh districts (RCW 28A.225.210) and excluding students residing in another district enrolled as part of an interdistrict cooperative program (RCW 28A.225.250).

        (b) "Enrollment percent" means the district's resident special education annual average enrollment, excluding the birth through age two enrollment, as a percent of the district's annual average full-time equivalent basic education enrollment.

        Each district's general fund--state funded special education enrollment shall be the lesser of the district's actual enrollment percent or 12.7 percent.

        (7) At the request of any interdistrict cooperative of at least 15 districts in which all excess cost services for special education students of the districts are provided by the cooperative, the maximum enrollment percent shall be calculated in accordance with subsection (6)(b) of this section, and shall be calculated in the aggregate rather than individual district units. For purposes of this subsection, the average basic education allocation per full-time equivalent student shall be calculated in the aggregate rather than individual district units.

        (8) To the extent necessary, $54,400,000 of the general fund--state appropriation and $28,698,000 of the general fund--federal appropriation are provided for safety net awards for districts with demonstrated needs for special education funding beyond the amounts provided in subsection (5) of this section. If safety net awards exceed the amount appropriated in this subsection (8), the superintendent shall expend all available federal discretionary funds necessary to meet this need. Safety net funds shall be awarded by the state safety net oversight committee subject to the following conditions and limitations:

        (a) The committee shall consider unmet needs for districts that can convincingly demonstrate that all legitimate expenditures for special education exceed all available revenues from state funding formulas. In the determination of need, the committee shall also consider additional available revenues from federal sources. Differences in program costs attributable to district philosophy, service delivery choice, or accounting practices are not a legitimate basis for safety net awards.

        (b) The committee shall then consider the extraordinary high cost needs of one or more individual special education students. Differences in costs attributable to district philosophy, service delivery choice, or accounting practices are not a legitimate basis for safety net awards.

        (c) The maximum allowable indirect cost for calculating safety net eligibility may not exceed the federal restricted indirect cost rate for the district plus one percent.

        (d) Safety net awards shall be adjusted based on the percent of potential medicaid eligible students billed as calculated by the superintendent in accordance with chapter 318, Laws of 1999.

        (e) Safety net awards must be adjusted for any audit findings or exceptions related to special education funding.

        (9) The superintendent of public instruction may adopt such rules and procedures as are necessary to administer the special education funding and safety net award process. Prior to revising any standards, procedures, or rules, the superintendent shall consult with the office of financial management and the fiscal committees of the legislature.

        (10) The safety net oversight committee appointed by the superintendent of public instruction shall consist of:

        (a) One staff from the office of superintendent of public instruction;

        (b) Staff of the office of the state auditor who shall be nonvoting members of the committee; and

        (c) One or more representatives from school districts or educational service districts knowledgeable of special education programs and funding.

        (11) A maximum of $678,000 may be expended from the general fund--state appropriations to fund 5.43 full-time equivalent teachers and 2.1 full-time equivalent aides at children's orthopedic hospital and medical center. This amount is in lieu of money provided through the home and hospital allocation and the special education program.

        (12) A maximum of $1,000,000 of the general fund--federal appropriation is provided for projects to provide special education students with appropriate job and independent living skills, including work experience where possible, to facilitate their successful transition out of the public school system. The funds provided by this subsection shall be from federal discretionary grants.

        (13) The superintendent shall maintain the percentage of federal flow-through to school districts at 85 percent. In addition to other purposes, school districts may use increased federal funds for high-cost students, for purchasing regional special education services from educational service districts, and for staff development activities particularly relating to inclusion issues.

        (14) A maximum of $1,200,000 of the general fund--federal appropriation may be expended by the superintendent for projects related to use of inclusion strategies by school districts for provision of special education services.

        (15) $1,400,000 of the general fund--federal appropriation shall be expended for one-time grants to school districts for the start-up costs of implementing web-based programs that assist schools in meeting state and federal requirements regarding individualized education plans.

        (16) The superintendent, consistent with the new federal IDEA reauthorization, shall continue to educate school districts on how to implement a birth-to-three program and review the cost effectiveness and learning benefits of early intervention.

        (17) A school district may carry over from one year to the next year up to 10 percent of the general fund--state funds allocated under this program; however, carry over funds shall be expended in the special education program.

        The appropriations in this section are subject to the following conditions and limitations:

        (1) The technical colleges may increase tuition and fees in excess of the fiscal growth factor to conform with the percentage increase in community college operating fees.

        (2) $539,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2006 and $540,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2007 are provided solely for the displaced homemakers program.

        (3) Access to baccalaureate and graduate degree programs continues to be limited for residents of North Snohomish, Island, and Skagit counties. The higher education consortium created to serve the region has not been able to successfully address the region's access needs. The university center model of service delivery, centered on a community college campus with a single point of accountability, has proven more effective in developing degree programs and attracting students.

        Therefore, the management and leadership responsibility for consortium operations are assigned to Everett community college. Everett community college shall collaborate with community and business leaders, other local community colleges, the public four-year institutions of higher education, and the higher education coordinating board to develop an educational plan for the North Snohomish, Island, and Skagit county region based on the university center model.

        (4) $50,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2006 and $50,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2007 are provided solely for higher education student child care matching grants under chapter 28B.135 RCW.

Funding is provided to support up to 6,200 full-time equivalent students in each fiscal year.

        (6) $2,500,000 of the higher education legacy trust appropriation for fiscal year 2006 and $2,500,000 of the higher education legacy trust appropriation for fiscal year 2007 are provided solely for basic skills education at community and technical colleges and community-based providers. These funds may be used to align or integrate adult basic education and English as a second language courses with vocational training.

        (7) The appropriations for higher education employee compensation increases provided or referenced in this section and described in sections 948 through 979 of this act are estimated to increase the total per student funding by $324 during the 2005-2007 biennium. This increase in total per student funding is in addition to the tuition revenues that will be generated and retained by the community and technical colleges as a result of the tuition increases that are authorized in section 601 of this act. Given these increases in core funding, the state board for community and technical colleges shall, by June 30, 2007, show demonstrable progress toward achieving the following six-year programmatic goals:

        (a) Increase the number of academic students who are eligible to transfer to baccalaureate institutions;

        (b) Increase the number of students prepared for work; and

        (c) Increase the number of basic skills students who demonstrate substantive skill gain.

        Specific six-year targets for the goals stated in this subsection shall be established by the state board and the office of financial management and shall be determined based on the per student funding level assumed in this act.

        The state board for community and technical colleges shall provide a summary of the progress and ongoing efforts toward meeting the provisions of this section to the governor and the appropriate fiscal and policy committees of the legislature prior to November 1, 2006.

        (8) $13,165,000 of the higher education legacy trust appropriation for fiscal year 2006 and $27,675,000 of the higher education legacy trust appropriation for fiscal year 2007 are provided to increase budgeted enrollments by 2,438 student FTEs in academic year 2006 and an additional 2,687 student FTEs in academic year 2007.

        (9) $2,250,000 of the higher education legacy trust appropriation for fiscal year 2006 and $2,250,000 of the higher education legacy trust appropriation for fiscal year 2007 are provided solely to increase salaries and related benefits for part-time faculty. A college district may match the state funds with local revenue. The board shall report by January 30, 2006, to the office of financial management and the appropriate fiscal and policy committees of the legislature on (a) the distribution of state funds, and (b) wage adjustments for part-time faculty.

        (10) $2,250,000 of the higher education legacy trust appropriation for fiscal year 2006 and $2,250,000 of the higher education legacy trust appropriation for fiscal year 2007 are provided solely for faculty salary increments and associated benefits and may be used in combination with salary and benefit savings from faculty turnover to provide salary increments and associated benefits for faculty who qualify through professional development and training.

        (3) Access to baccalaureate and graduate degree programs continues to be limited for residents of North Snohomish, Island, and Skagit counties. The higher education consortium created to serve the region has not been able to successfully address the region's access needs. The university center model of service delivery, centered on a community college campus with a single point of accountability, has proven more effective in developing degree programs and attracting students.

        Therefore, the management and leadership responsibility for consortium operations are assigned to Everett community college. Everett community college shall collaborate with community and business leaders, other local community colleges, the public four-year institutions of higher education, and the higher education coordinating board to develop an educational plan for the North Snohomish, Island, and Skagit county region based on the university center model.

        (2) Agencies shall use their information technology portfolios in making decisions on matters related to the following:

        (a) System refurbishment, acquisitions, and development efforts;

        (b) Setting goals and objectives for using information technology in meeting legislatively-mandated missions and business needs;

        (c) Assessment of overall information processing performance, resources, and capabilities;

        (d) Ensuring appropriate transfer of technological expertise for the operation of any new systems developed using external resources; and

        (e) Progress toward enabling electronic access to public information.

Agencies shall ensure that the project is in compliance with the architecture, infrastructure, principles, policies, and standards of digital government as maintained by the information services board.

        (4) The agency shall produce a feasibility study for information technology projects at the direction of the information services board and in accordance with published department of information services policies and guidelines. At a minimum, such studies shall include a statement of: (a) The purpose or impetus for change; (b) the business value to the agency, including an examination and evaluation of benefits, advantages, and cost; (c) a comprehensive risk assessment based on the proposed project's impact on both citizens and state operations, its visibility, and the consequences of doing nothing; (d) the impact on agency and statewide information infrastructure; and (e) the impact of the proposed enhancements to an agency's information technology capabilities on meeting service delivery demands.

        (5) The agency shall produce a comprehensive management plan for each project. The plan or plans shall address all factors critical to successful completion of each project.

        (6) The agency shall produce quality assurance plans for information technology projects. Consistent with the direction of the information services board and the published policies and guidelines of the department of information services, the quality assurance plan shall address all factors critical to successful completion of the project and successful integration with the agency and state information technology infrastructure.

        (5) Funds from the student achievement fund shall be appropriated to the superintendent of public instruction strictly for distribution to school districts to meet the provisions set out in the student achievement act.

The revenues to the multimodal transportation account reflected in this subsection provide ongoing support for the transportation programs of the state. However, it is the intent of the legislature that any new long-term financial support that may be subsequently provided for transportation programs will be used to replace and supplant the revenues reflected in this subsection, thereby allowing those revenues to be returned to the purposes to which they were previously dedicated. No transfers from the emergency reserve fund to the multimodal fund shall be made during the ((2003-05)) 2005-2007 fiscal biennium.

        During the 2005 interim, the select committee on pension policy shall study the options available to the legislature for addressing the liability associated with future gain-sharing benefits. These options may include, but shall not be limited to, repealing, delaying, or suspending the gain-sharing provisions in law; making gain-sharing discretionary; or replacing gain-sharing benefits with other benefits such as plan choice, employer defined contributions, retirement eligibility enhancements, and post-retirement adjustments.

{{35290}}       ENGROSSED SUBSTITUTE SENATE BILL NO. 5922, By Senate Committee on Human Services & Corrections (originally sponsored by Senators Stevens, Hargrove, Roach, Schmidt, Zarelli, Carrell and Finkbeiner)


       Changing procedures for investigations of child abuse or neglect.


       The bill was read the second time.


       There being no objection, the committee amendment by the Committee on Appropriations was not adopted. (For committee amendment, see Journal, 85th Day, April 4, 2005.)


{{35291}}       Representative Dickerson moved the adoption of amendment (416):


        Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:


        " Sec. 1. RCW 26.44.100 and 1998 c 314 s 8 are each amended to read as follows:

        (1) The legislature finds parents and children often are not aware of their due process rights when agencies are investigating allegations of child abuse and neglect. The legislature reaffirms that all citizens, including parents, shall be afforded due process, that protection of children remains the priority of the legislature, and that this protection includes protecting the family unit from unnecessary disruption. To facilitate this goal, the legislature wishes to ensure that parents and children be advised in writing and orally, if feasible, of their basic rights and other specific information as set forth in this chapter, provided that nothing contained in this chapter shall cause any delay in protective custody action.

        (2) The department shall notify the alleged perpetrator of (the allegations of child abuse ((and)) or neglect ((at the earliest possible point in the investigation that will not jeopardize the safety and protection of the child or the investigation process))at the initial point of contact with the alleged perpetrator, in a manner consistent with the laws maintaining the confidentiality of the persons making the complaints or allegations. Investigations of child abuse and neglect should be conducted so that relevant evidence of offenses is not concealed or destroyed, child victims are not subjected to undue influence, and actions are not taken that would jeopardize the safety or protection of the child.

         Whenever the department completes an investigation of a child abuse or neglect report under chapter 26.44 RCW, the department shall notify the alleged perpetrator of the report and the department's investigative findings. The notice shall also advise the alleged perpetrator that:

        (a) A written response to the report may be provided to the department and that such response will be filed in the record following receipt by the department;

        (b) Information in the department's record may be considered in subsequent investigations or proceedings related to child protection or child custody;

        (c) Founded reports of child abuse and neglect may be considered in determining whether the person is disqualified from being licensed to provide child care, employed by a licensed child care agency, or authorized by the department to care for children; and

        (d) An alleged perpetrator named in a founded report of child abuse or neglect has the right to seek review of the finding as provided in this chapter.

        (3) The notification required by this section shall be made by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the person's last known address.

        (4) The duty of notification created by this section is subject to the ability of the department to ascertain the location of the person to be notified. The department shall exercise reasonable, good-faith efforts to ascertain the location of persons entitled to notification under this section.

        (5) The department shall provide training to all persons who conduct investigations under this section that shall include, but is not limited to, training regarding the legal duties of the department from the initial time of contact during investigation through treatment in order to protect children and families.


        NEW SECTION. Sec. 2. The legislature finds that whenever possible, children should remain in the home of their parents. It is only when the safety of the child is a concern that the child should be removed from the home.

        The legislature finds that the safety of a child is put in jeopardy when a child is subject to chronic neglect. The legislature recognizes that chronic neglect may be more dangerous to a child than physical or sexual abuse, and must be treated as such by those charged with the protection of children in this state.

        It is the intent of the legislature that the department of social and health services be permitted to intervene in cases of chronic neglect where the well-being of the child is at risk. One incident of neglect may not rise to the level requiring state intervention; however, a pattern of neglect has been shown to cause damage to the health and well-being of the child subject to the neglect.

        It is the intent of the legislature that when chronic neglect has been found to exist in a family, the legal system reinforce the need for the parent to engage in services that will decrease the likelihood of future neglect. However, if the parents fail to comply with the necessary services, the state must intervene to protect the children who are at risk.


        Sec. 3. RCW 13.34.138 and 2003 c 227 s 5 are each amended to read as follows:

        (1) Except for children whose cases are reviewed by a citizen review board under chapter 13.70 RCW, the status of all children found to be dependent shall be reviewed by the court at least every six months from the beginning date of the placement episode or the date dependency is established, whichever is first, at a hearing in which it shall be determined whether court supervision should continue. The initial review hearing shall be an in-court review and shall be set six months from the beginning date of the placement episode or no more than ninety days from the entry of the disposition order, whichever comes first. The initial review hearing may be a permanency planning hearing when necessary to meet the time frames set forth in RCW 13.34.145(3) or 13.34.134. The review shall include findings regarding the agency and parental completion of disposition plan requirements, and if necessary, revised permanency time limits. This review shall consider both the agency's and parent's efforts that demonstrate consistent measurable progress over time in meeting the disposition plan requirements. The requirements for the initial review hearing, including the in-court requirement, shall be accomplished within existing resources. The supervising agency shall provide a foster parent, preadoptive parent, or relative with notice of, and their right to an opportunity to be heard in, a review hearing pertaining to the child, but only if that person is currently providing care to that child at the time of the hearing. This section shall not be construed to grant party status to any person who has been provided an opportunity to be heard.

        (a) A child shall not be returned home at the review hearing unless the court finds that a reason for removal as set forth in RCW 13.34.130 no longer exists. The parents, guardian, or legal custodian shall report to the court the efforts they have made to correct the conditions which led to removal. If a child is returned, casework supervision shall continue for a period of six months, at which time there shall be a hearing on the need for continued intervention.

        (b) If the child is not returned home, the court shall establish in writing:

        (i) Whether reasonable services have been provided to or offered to the parties to facilitate reunion, specifying the services provided or offered;

        (ii) Whether the child has been placed in the least-restrictive setting appropriate to the child's needs, including whether consideration and preference has been given to placement with the child's relatives;

        (iii) Whether there is a continuing need for placement and whether the placement is appropriate;

        (iv) Whether there has been compliance with the case plan by the child, the child's parents, and the agency supervising the placement;

        (v) Whether progress has been made toward correcting the problems that necessitated the child's placement in out-of-home care;

        (vi) Whether the parents have visited the child and any reasons why visitation has not occurred or has been infrequent;

        (vii) Whether additional services, including housing assistance, are needed to facilitate the return of the child to the child's parents; if so, the court shall order that reasonable services be offered specifying such services; and

        (viii) The projected date by which the child will be returned home or other permanent plan of care will be implemented.

        Sec. 5. RCW 26.44.020 and 2000 c 162 s 19 are each amended to read as follows:

        (1) If the department, upon investigation of a report that a child has been abused or neglected as defined in this chapter, determines that the child has been subject to or is at risk of negligent treatment or maltreatment, the department may offer services to the child's parents, guardians, or legal custodians (a) to ameliorate the conditions that endangered the welfare of the child or that place the child at risk of future abuse or neglect, or (b) to address or treat the effects of mistreatment or neglect upon the child. If the child's parents, guardians, or legal custodians are available and willing to participate on a voluntary basis in in-home services, and the department determines that in-home services on a voluntary basis are appropriate for the family, the department may offer such services.

        (2) In cases where the department has offered appropriate and reasonable services under subsection (1) of this section, and the parents, guardians, or legal custodians refuse to accept or fail to obtain appropriate treatment or services, or are unable or unwilling to participate in or successfully and substantially complete the treatment or services identified by the department, the department may initiate a dependency proceeding under chapter 13.34 RCW on the basis that the negligent treatment or maltreatment by the parent, guardian, or legal custodian constitutes neglect.

        (3) Nothing in this section precludes the department from filing a dependency petition as provided in chapter 13.34 RCW if it determines that such action is necessary to protect the child from abuse or neglect or safeguard the child from future abuse or neglect.

        (4) Nothing in this section shall be construed to create in any person an entitlement to services or financial assistance in paying for services or to create judicial authority to order the provision of services to any person or family if the services are unavailable or unsuitable or if the child or family is not eligible for such services.


        Sec. 7. RCW 74.13.031 and 2004 c 183 s 3 are each amended to read as follows:

        The department shall have the duty to provide child welfare services and shall:

        (1) Develop, administer, supervise, and monitor a coordinated and comprehensive plan that establishes, aids, and strengthens services for the protection and care of runaway, dependent, or neglected children.

        (2) Within available resources, recruit an adequate number of prospective adoptive and foster homes, both regular and specialized, i.e. homes for children of ethnic minority, including Indian homes for Indian children, sibling groups, handicapped and emotionally disturbed, teens, pregnant and parenting teens, and annually report to the governor and the legislature concerning the department's success in: (a) Meeting the need for adoptive and foster home placements; (b) reducing the foster parent turnover rate; (c) completing home studies for legally free children; and (d) implementing and operating the passport program required by RCW 74.13.285. The report shall include a section entitled "Foster Home Turn-Over, Causes and Recommendations."

        (3) Investigate ((complaints of any recent act or failure to act)) reports of child abuse or neglect as defined in chapter 26.44 RCW on the part of a parent, guardian, or legal custodian of the child, member of the household of such persons, agency as defined in chapter 74.15 RCW providing care to the child, or other caretaker ((that results in death, serious physical or emotional harm, or sexual abuse or exploitation, or that presents an imminent risk of serious harm)) of the child who is serving in place of the parent, and on the basis of the findings of such investigation, offer child welfare services in relation to the problem to such ((parents, legal custodians, or)) persons ((serving in loco parentis)), and/or bring the situation to the attention of an appropriate court, or another community agency: PROVIDED, That an investigation is not required of nonaccidental injuries which are clearly not the result of a lack of care or supervision by the child's parents, guardians, legal custodians, or persons serving in ((loco parentis)) place of a parent. If the investigation reveals that a crime against a child may have been committed, the department shall notify the appropriate law enforcement agency.

        (4) Offer, on a voluntary basis, family reconciliation services to families who are in conflict.

        (5) Monitor out-of-home placements, on a timely and routine basis, to assure the safety, well-being, and quality of care being provided is within the scope of the intent of the legislature as defined in RCW 74.13.010 and 74.15.010, and annually submit a report measuring the extent to which the department achieved the specified goals to the governor and the legislature.

        (6) Have authority to accept custody of children from parents and to accept custody of children from juvenile courts, where authorized to do so under law, to provide child welfare services including placement for adoption, and to provide for the physical care of such children and make payment of maintenance costs if needed. Except where required by Public Law 95-608 (25 U.S.C. Sec. 1915), no private adoption agency which receives children for adoption from the department shall discriminate on the basis of race, creed, or color when considering applications in their placement for adoption.

        (7) Have authority to provide temporary shelter to children who have run away from home and who are admitted to crisis residential centers.

        (8) Have authority to purchase care for children; and shall follow in general the policy of using properly approved private agency services for the actual care and supervision of such children insofar as they are available, paying for care of such children as are accepted by the department as eligible for support at reasonable rates established by the department.

        (9) Establish a children's services advisory committee which shall assist the secretary in the development of a partnership plan for utilizing resources of the public and private sectors, and advise on all matters pertaining to child welfare, licensing of child care agencies, adoption, and services related thereto. At least one member shall represent the adoption community.

        (10) Have authority to provide continued foster care or group care for individuals from eighteen through twenty years of age to enable them to complete their high school or vocational school program.

        (11) Refer cases to the division of child support whenever state or federal funds are expended for the care and maintenance of a child, including a child with a developmental disability who is placed as a result of an action under chapter 13.34 RCW, unless the department finds that there is good cause not to pursue collection of child support against the parent or parents of the child.

        (12) Have authority within funds appropriated for foster care services to purchase care for Indian children who are in the custody of a federally recognized Indian tribe or tribally licensed child-placing agency pursuant to parental consent, tribal court order, or state juvenile court order; and the purchase of such care shall be subject to the same eligibility standards and rates of support applicable to other children for whom the department purchases care.

        Notwithstanding any other provision of RCW 13.32A.170 through 13.32A.200 and 74.13.032 through 74.13.036, or of this section all services to be provided by the department of social and health services under subsections (4), (6), and (7) of this section, subject to the limitations of these subsections, may be provided by any program offering such services funded pursuant to Titles II and III of the federal juvenile justice and delinquency prevention act of 1974.

        (13) Within amounts appropriated for this specific purpose, provide preventive services to families with children that prevent or shorten the duration of an out-of-home placement.

        (14) Have authority to provide independent living services to youths, including individuals eighteen through twenty years of age, who are or have been in foster care.


        NEW SECTION. Sec. 8. The legislature recognizes that the fiscal and workload impact of this act may not be fully determined until after it is implemented and that such impact may further be affected by the funding or availability of community-based prevention and remedial services. For that reason, the department of social and health services shall report on the implementation of this act to the appropriate legislative committees and the governor by December 1, 2006. The report shall include information regarding any change over previous years in the number and type of child abuse and neglect referrals received and investigations conducted, any change in in-home and out-of-home dependency placements and/or filings, any increased service costs, barriers to implementation, and an assessment of the fiscal and workload impact on the department. Such information shall be reviewed by the legislature for possible amendment of this act or additional allocation of resources to the department for implementation purposes.


        NEW SECTION. Sec. 9. This act takes effect January 1, 2006.


        NEW SECTION. Sec. 10. This act may be known and cited as the Justice and Raiden Act."

       Requiring a study of public employee health plans and health savings account options.


       The bill was read the second time.


       Representative Condotta moved the adoption of the following amendment (431):


        Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:


        "Sec. 1. RCW 41.05.006 and 1988 c 107 s 2 are each amended to read as follows:

        (1) The legislature recognizes that (a) the state is a major purchaser of health care services, (b) the increasing costs of such health care services are posing and will continue to pose a great financial burden on the state, (c) it is the state's policy, consistent with the best interests of the state, to provide comprehensive health care as an employer, to state employees and officials and their dependents and to those who are dependent on the state for necessary medical care, and (d) it is imperative that the state begin to develop effective and efficient health care delivery systems and strategies for procuring health care services in order for the state to continue to purchase the most comprehensive health care possible.

        (2) It is therefore the purpose of this chapter to establish the Washington state health care authority whose purpose shall be to (a) develop health care benefit programs((,)) that provide access to at least one comprehensive benefit plan funded to the fullest extent possible by the employer, ((that provide comprehensive health care)) and a health savings account/high deductible health plan option as defined in section 1201 of the medicare prescription drug improvement and modernization act of 2003, as amended, for eligible state employees, officials, and their dependents, and (b) study all state-purchased health care, alternative health care delivery systems, and strategies for the procurement of health care services and make recommendations aimed at minimizing the financial burden which health care poses on the state, its employees, and its charges, while at the same time allowing the state to provide the most comprehensive health care options possible.


        Sec. 2. RCW 41.05.065 and 2003 c 158 s 2 are each amended to read as follows:

        (1) The board shall study all matters connected with the provision of health care coverage, life insurance, liability insurance, accidental death and dismemberment insurance, and disability income insurance or any of, or a combination of, the enumerated types of insurance for employees and their dependents on the best basis possible with relation both to the welfare of the employees and to the state. However, liability insurance shall not be made available to dependents.

        (2) The board shall develop employee benefit plans that include comprehensive health care benefits for all employees. In developing these plans, the board shall consider the following elements:

        (a) Methods of maximizing cost containment while ensuring access to quality health care;

        (b) Development of provider arrangements that encourage cost containment and ensure access to quality care, including but not limited to prepaid delivery systems and prospective payment methods;

        (c) Wellness incentives that focus on proven strategies, such as smoking cessation, injury and accident prevention, reduction of alcohol misuse, appropriate weight reduction, exercise, automobile and motorcycle safety, blood cholesterol reduction, and nutrition education;

        (d) Utilization review procedures including, but not limited to a cost-efficient method for prior authorization of services, hospital inpatient length of stay review, requirements for use of outpatient surgeries and second opinions for surgeries, review of invoices or claims submitted by service providers, and performance audit of providers;

        (e) Effective coordination of benefits;

        (f) Minimum standards for insuring entities; and

        (g) Minimum scope and content of public employee benefit plans to be offered to enrollees participating in the employee health benefit plans. To maintain the comprehensive nature of employee health care benefits, employee eligibility criteria related to the number of hours worked and the benefits provided to employees shall be substantially equivalent to the state employees' health benefits plan and eligibility criteria in effect on January 1, 1993. Nothing in this subsection (2)(g) shall prohibit changes or increases in employee point-of-service payments or employee premium payments for benefits or the administration of a high deductible health plan in conjunction with a health savings account.

        (3) The board shall design benefits and determine the terms and conditions of employee participation and coverage, including establishment of eligibility criteria. The same terms and conditions of participation and coverage, including eligibility criteria, shall apply to state employees and to school district employees and educational service district employees.

        (4) The board may authorize premium contributions for an employee and the employee's dependents in a manner that encourages the use of cost-efficient managed health care systems. The board shall require participating school district and educational service district employees to pay at least the same employee premiums by plan and family size as state employees pay.

        (5) The board shall develop a health savings account option for employees that conforms to section 223, Part VII of subchapter B of chapter 1 of the internal revenue code of 1986. The board shall comply with all applicable federal standards related to the establishment of health savings accounts.

        (6) Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, the board shall develop a high deductible health plan to be offered in conjunction with a health savings account developed under subsection (5) of this section.

        (7) Employees shall choose participation in one of the health care benefit plans developed by the board and may be permitted to waive coverage under terms and conditions established by the board.

        (((6))) (8) The board shall review plans proposed by insuring entities that desire to offer property insurance and/or accident and casualty insurance to state employees through payroll deduction. The board may approve any such plan for payroll deduction by insuring entities holding a valid certificate of authority in the state of Washington and which the board determines to be in the best interests of employees and the state. The board shall promulgate rules setting forth criteria by which it shall evaluate the plans.

        (((7))) (9) Before January 1, 1998, the public employees' benefits board shall make available one or more fully insured long-term care insurance plans that comply with the requirements of chapter 48.84 RCW. Such programs shall be made available to eligible employees, retired employees, and retired school employees as well as eligible dependents which, for the purpose of this section, includes the parents of the employee or retiree and the parents of the spouse of the employee or retiree. Employees of local governments and employees of political subdivisions not otherwise enrolled in the public employees' benefits board sponsored medical programs may enroll under terms and conditions established by the administrator, if it does not jeopardize the financial viability of the public employees' benefits board's long-term care offering.

        (a) Participation of eligible employees or retired employees and retired school employees in any long-term care insurance plan made available by the public employees' benefits board is voluntary and shall not be subject to binding arbitration under chapter 41.56 RCW. Participation is subject to reasonable underwriting guidelines and eligibility rules established by the public employees' benefits board and the health care authority.

        (b) The employee, retired employee, and retired school employee are solely responsible for the payment of the premium rates developed by the health care authority. The health care authority is authorized to charge a reasonable administrative fee in addition to the premium charged by the long-term care insurer, which shall include the health care authority's cost of administration, marketing, and consumer education materials prepared by the health care authority and the office of the insurance commissioner.

        (c) To the extent administratively possible, the state shall establish an automatic payroll or pension deduction system for the payment of the long-term care insurance premiums.

        (d) The public employees' benefits board and the health care authority shall establish a technical advisory committee to provide advice in the development of the benefit design and establishment of underwriting guidelines and eligibility rules. The committee shall also advise the board and authority on effective and cost-effective ways to market and distribute the long-term care product. The technical advisory committee shall be comprised, at a minimum, of representatives of the office of the insurance commissioner, providers of long-term care services, licensed insurance agents with expertise in long-term care insurance, employees, retired employees, retired school employees, and other interested parties determined to be appropriate by the board.

        (e) The health care authority shall offer employees, retired employees, and retired school employees the option of purchasing long-term care insurance through licensed agents or brokers appointed by the long-term care insurer. The authority, in consultation with the public employees' benefits board, shall establish marketing procedures and may consider all premium components as a part of the contract negotiations with the long-term care insurer.

        (f) In developing the long-term care insurance benefit designs, the public employees' benefits board shall include an alternative plan of care benefit, including adult day services, as approved by the office of the insurance commissioner.

        (g) The health care authority, with the cooperation of the office of the insurance commissioner, shall develop a consumer education program for the eligible employees, retired employees, and retired school employees designed to provide education on the potential need for long-term care, methods of financing long-term care, and the availability of long-term care insurance products including the products offered by the board.

        (h) By December 1998, the health care authority, in consultation with the public employees' benefits board, shall submit a report to the appropriate committees of the legislature, including an analysis of the marketing and distribution of the long-term care insurance provided under this section."
