PERSONAL PRIVILEGE

Senator Braun: “Thank you Mr. President. So, I just want to take a moment, Mr. President, I passed out, I asked to be passed out, an article about the passing of Orin Smith. Many on you may know he was the long time the CEO and President of Starbucks. So, I got to know Warren some years ago. He was born and raised in Chehalis, actually born I think in Ryderwood. Raised in Chehalis, attended W. F. Wells High School. Very interesting. He played, and was a key leader on the last state basketball team to win from W. F. West in 1959-1960. Amazing story there. I mean I could go on and on about the amazing stories in Orin’s life but, a team leader. Went to Centralia College, another graduate of our wonderful community and technical colleges. Went on to UW, and then eventually to Harvard where he earned an MBA. He worked in the private sector, came back and worked as the budget officer for both Governor Dixie Lee Ray and Governor Booth Gardner. Went back to the private sector, worked in a number of jobs. Ultimately, in 1990 he went to Starbucks and eventually became the President and CEO. Amazing story from a beginning in poverty. A mother who raised her children as a single mom and this is where I first met Orin and got to know him a little bit. Is I was on the Timberland Regional Library Board. At the time, we were trying to build a new library in the city of Chehalis and Orin quietly came in, as was his habit, and offered to make a substantial contribution to the building of that library. And all he asked is that it ultimately be named after his mother, Vernetta Smith. And he would tell the story of how she would bring him and his brothers and sister to the library, regularly. That was a staple in their life and I could go on and probably would not do it justice. But a very inspiring story. And was the first in many contributions to his hometown, where he would quietly come in and support a variety of things from reconstruction of the new pool to, I had another chance to work with him closely as we built a new food bank. And it was always the same in many ways, a very quiet offer to help, but you knew once you got to know him he was never going to help a little bit. Both financially of course but also in deeply involved in the thinking, and how do you, if we are going to do this, his commitment was always ‘let’s do it right, let’s do it well, let’s serve our community to the best of our ability,’ he was much much more than simple financial support. And really inspiring in many ways. Any rate, Mr. President, I simply want to take a moment to recognize this amazing man in our state who served both in the public and private sector. The last thing I would mention because this is a place where I was personally inspired by him is his work at Starbucks. To really look after the employees, to bring, to provide benefits, to do everything we can to help folks be successful in their employment in the private sector. And drove policies and really changes in corporate and company approaches around the country. I am inspired by his example where he is very fiscally sound, he was a CPA, I think by training and never lost track of the money but didn’t let that get in the way of doing the right thing for people and bringing people along. Truly, an inspiration to me and I think to many Washingtonians and I would just like to recognize him today. Thank you Mr. President.”

REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT

President Habib: “And of course, Orin Smith, also in the spirit of your remarks, he also served and was confirmed by this body as a Regent of the University of Washington, so he was a public servant throughout his life. Thank you Senator Braun.”

PERSONAL PRIVILEGE

Senator Carlyle: “Thank you Mr. President. I just want to thank the good gentleman from the 20^th for raising this. He was a gentleman and a scholar and I think we all, those of us who had the opportunity to spend quality time with him were so deeply impressed by his personal values, his professional accomplishments and he really was a very special person. And I share the sentiment very much. And I think he reflected both the best of the public sector and the private sector in the values of civic engagement and he was a friend. So thank you very much for your thoughts on him.”

PART II

HUMAN SERVICES

Sec. 201. 2017 3rd sp.s. c 1 s 201 (uncodified) is amended to read as follows:

FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL AND HEALTH SERVICES

(1) The appropriations to the department of social and health services in this act shall be expended for the programs and in the amounts specified in this act. 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 legislature finds that medicaid payment rates, as calculated by the department pursuant to the appropriations in this act, bear a reasonable relationship to the costs incurred by efficiently and economically operated facilities for providing quality services and will be sufficient to enlist enough providers so that care and services are available to the extent that such care and services are available to the general population in the geographic area. The legislature finds that cost reports, payment data from the federal government, historical utilization, economic data, and clinical input constitute reliable data upon which to determine the payment rates.

(4) The department shall to the maximum extent practicable use the same system for delivery of spoken-language interpreter services for social services appointments as the one established for medical appointments in the health care authority. When contracting directly with an individual to deliver spoken language interpreter services, the department shall only contract with language access providers who are working at a location in the state and who are state-certified or state-authorized, except that when such a provider is not available, the department may use a language access provider who meets other certifications or standards deemed to meet state standards, including interpreters in other states.

(5) Information technology projects or investments and proposed projects or investments impacting time capture, payroll and payment processes and systems, eligibility, case management, and authorization systems within the department of social and health services are subject to technical oversight by the office of the chief information officer.

(6)(a) The department shall facilitate enrollment under the medicaid expansion for clients applying for or receiving state funded services from the department and its contractors. Prior to open enrollment, the department shall coordinate with the health care authority to provide referrals to the Washington health benefit exchange for clients that will be ineligible for medicaid.

(b) To facilitate a single point of entry across public and medical assistance programs, and to maximize the use of federal funding, the health care authority, the department of social and health services, and the health benefit exchange will coordinate efforts to expand HealthPlanfinder access to public assistance and medical eligibility staff. The department shall complete medicaid applications in the HealthPlanfinder for households receiving or applying for public assistance benefits.

(7) In accordance with RCW 71.24.380, the health care authority and the department are authorized to purchase medical and behavioral health services through integrated contracts upon request of all of the county authorities in a regional service area to become an early adopter of fully integrated purchasing of medical and behavioral health services. The department may combine and transfer such amounts appropriated under sections 204, 208, and 213 of this act as may be necessary to fund early adopter contracts. The amount of medicaid funding transferred 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, times the number of clients enrolled. The amount of non-medicaid funding transferred from sections 204 and 208 may not exceed the amount that would have been contracted with a behavioral health organization if the county authorities had not requested to become an early adopter of fully integrated purchasing.

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

(a) $256,645,000 of the general fund—state appropriation for fiscal year 2018 and $264,704,000 of the general fund—state appropriation for fiscal year 2019 are provided solely for the authority to implement a single, standard medicaid preferred drug list to be used by all contracted medicaid managed health care systems, on or before January 1, 2018. The preferred drug list shall be developed in consultation with all contracted managed health care systems and the state pharmacy and therapeutics committee or drug utilization review board and shall further the goals and objectives of the medicaid program. The list shall be designed to maximize federal rebates and supplemental rebates and ensure access to clinically effective and appropriate drug therapies under each class. Entities eligible for 340B drug pricing shall continue to operate under their current pricing agreement, unless otherwise required by federal laws or regulations. The authority may utilize external consultants with expertise in evidence-based drug class reviews, pharmacy benefit management, and purchasing to assist with the completion of this development and implementation. The authority shall require each managed care organization that has contracted with the authority to provide care to medicaid beneficiaries to use the established preferred drug list; and shall prohibit each managed care organization and any of its agents from negotiating or collecting rebates for any medications listed in the state's medicaid single preferred drug list whether preferred or nonpreferred. To assist in the implementation of the single preferred drug list, contracted medicaid managed health care systems shall provide the authority drug-specific financial information in a format and frequency determined by the authority to include the actual amounts paid to pharmacies for prescription drugs dispensed to covered individuals compared to the cost invoiced to the health plan and individual rebates collected for prescription drugs dispensed to medicaid members. Information disclosed to the authority by the manufacturer pursuant to this provision shall only be used for the purposes of developing and implementing a single, standard state preferred drug list in accordance with this provision. The authority, medicaid managed care organizations, and all other parties shall maintain the confidentiality of drug-specific financial and other proprietary information and such information shall not be subject to the Washington public records act. The authority shall provide a report to the governor and appropriate committees of the legislature by November 15, 2018, and by November 15, 2019, including a comparison of the amount spent in the previous two fiscal years to expenditures under the new system by, at a minimum, fund source, total expenditure, drug class, and top twenty-five drugs. The data provided to the authority shall be aggregated in any report by the authority, the legislature, or the office of financial management so as not to disclose the proprietary or confidential drug-specific information, or the proprietary or confidential information that directly or indirectly identifies financial information linked to a single manufacturer. It is the intent of the legislature to revisit this policy in subsequent biennia to determine whether it is in the best interest of the state.

(b) ((~~$118,813,000~~)) $113,356,000 of the general fund—state appropriation for fiscal year 2018 and ((~~$120,265,000~~)) $140,578,000 of the general fund—state appropriation for fiscal year 2019 are provided solely for ((~~holding~~)) managed care capitation ((~~rates flat at calendar year 2017 levels in state fiscal years and calendar years 2018 and 2019~~)) payments.

(c) $122,244,000 of the general fund—state appropriation for fiscal year 2018 and $116,038,000 of the general fund—state appropriation for fiscal year 2019 are provided solely for the authority through the competitive procurement process, to contract with licensed dental health plans or managed health care plans on a prepaid or fixed-sum risk basis to provide carved-out managed dental care services on a statewide basis that will result in greater efficiency and will facilitate better access and oral health outcomes for medicaid enrollees. Except in areas where only a single plan is available, the authority must contract with at least two plans. The authority shall include in the contracts: (i) Quarterly reporting requirements to include medicaid utilization and encounter data by current dental technology (CDT) code; (ii) a direction to increase the dental provider network; (iii) a commitment to retain innovative programs that improve access and care such as the access to baby and child dentistry program; (iv) a program to reduce emergency room use for dental purposes; (v) a requirement to ensure that dental care is being coordinated with the primary care provider of the patient to ensure integrated care; (vi) a provision that no less than eighty-five percent of the contracting fee be used to directly offset the cost of providing direct patient care as opposed to administrative costs; and (vii) a provision to ensure the contracting fee shall be sufficient to compensate county health departments and federally qualified health centers for dental patient care. The plan(s) awarded this contract must absorb all start-up costs associated with moving the program from fee-for-service to managed care and shall commit to achieving an overall savings to the program based on 2016 fee-for-service experience. In order to comply with state insurance underwriting standards, the authority shall ensure that savings offered by dental plans are actuarially sound. Starting January 31, 2019, and every year thereafter through December 2024, the authority shall submit an annual report to the governor and the appropriate committees of the legislature detailing how the contracted entities have met the requirements of the contract. The report shall include specific information to include utilization, how the contracted entities have increased their dental provider networks, how the emergency room use for dental purposes has been reduced, and how dental care has been integrated with patients' primary care providers. If after the end of five years the data reported does not demonstrate sufficient progress to address the stated contracted goals, the legislature will reevaluate whether carved-out dental managed care needs to be replaced with a different delivery model. The authority is authorized to seek any necessary state plan amendments or federal waivers to implement this subsection. Additional dental program savings achieved by the plans beyond those assumed in the 2017-2019 omnibus appropriations act will be used to increase dental provider reimbursement rates.

(d) (($1,540,849,000 of the general fund—state appropriation for fiscal year 2018 and $1,585,513,000 of the general fund—state appropriation for fiscal year 2019 are provided solely for medicaid services and the medicaid program. However,)) By October 30, 2018, the authority shall report to the governor and the appropriate committees of the legislature anticipated savings related to reduction in dental emergency department visits and utilization once managed care dental coverage begins.

(e) No later than November 1, 2018, and each year thereafter, the authority shall report to the governor and appropriate committees of the legislature: (i) Savings attributed to behavioral and physical integration in areas that are scheduled to integrate in the following calendar year, and (ii) savings attributed to behavioral and physical health integration and the level of savings achieved in areas that have integrated behavioral and physical health.

(f) The authority shall not accept or expend any federal funds received under a medicaid transformation waiver under healthier Washington except as described in ((~~(e) and (f)~~)) (g) and (h) of this subsection until specifically approved and appropriated by the legislature. To ensure compliance with legislative directive budget requirements and terms and conditions of the waiver, the authority shall implement the waiver and reporting requirements with oversight from the office of financial management. The legislature finds that appropriate management of the innovation waiver requires better analytic capability, transparency, consistency, timeliness, accuracy, and lack of redundancy with other established measures and that the patient must be considered first and foremost in the implementation and execution of the demonstration waiver. In order to effectuate these goals, the authority shall: (i) Require the Dr. Robert Bree collaborative and the health technology assessment program to reduce the administrative burden upon providers by only requiring performance measures that are nonduplicative of other nationally established measures. The joint select committee on health care oversight will evaluate the measures chosen by the collaborative and the health technology assessment program for effectiveness and appropriateness; (ii) develop a patient satisfaction survey with the goal to gather information about whether it was beneficial for the patient to use the center of excellence location in exchange for additional out-of-pocket savings; (iii) ensure patients and health care providers have significant input into the implementation of the demonstration waiver, in order to ensure improved patient health outcomes; and (iv) in cooperation with the department of social and health services, consult with and provide notification of work on applications for federal waivers, including details on waiver duration, financial implications, and potential future impacts on the state budget, to the joint select committee on health care oversight prior to submitting waivers for federal approval. By federal standard, the medicaid transformation demonstration waiver shall not exceed the duration originally granted by the centers for medicare and medicaid services and any programs created or funded by this waiver do not create an entitlement.

((~~(e)~~)) (g) No more than ((~~$479,600,000~~)) $486,683,000 of the general fund—federal appropriation and no more than ((~~$154,289,000~~)) $129,103,000 of the general fund—local appropriation may be expended for transformation through accountable communities of health described in initiative 1 of the medicaid transformation demonstration wavier under healthier Washington, including preventing youth drug use, opioid prevention and treatment, and physical and behavioral health integration. Under this initiative, the authority shall take into account local input regarding community needs. In order to ensure transparency to the appropriate fiscal committees of the legislature, the authority shall provide fiscal staff of the legislature query ability into any database of the fiscal intermediary that authority staff would be authorized to access. The authority shall not increase general fund—state expenditures under this initiative. The director shall report to the joint select committee on health care oversight no less than quarterly, and include details for each accountable community of health, on the financial status and measurable health outcomes. The director shall also report to the fiscal committees of the legislature all of the expenditures under this subsection and shall provide such fiscal data in the time, manner, and form requested by the legislative fiscal committees. By December 15, 2019, the authority in collaboration with each accountable community of health shall demonstrate how it will be self-sustaining by the end of the demonstration waiver period, including sources of outside funding, and provide this reporting to the joint select committee on health care oversight. If by the third year of the demonstration waiver there are not measurable, improved patient outcomes and financial returns, the Washington state institute for public policy will conduct an audit of the accountable communities of health, in addition to the process set in place through the independent evaluation required by the agreement with centers for medicare and medicaid services. Prior to the 2018 legislative session, the human services, health care, and judiciary committees of the legislature will convene a joint work session to review models in the delivery system and the impacts on medical liability. The work sessions should include integrated delivery models with multiple health care providers and medical malpractice insurance carriers.

((~~(f)~~)) (h) No more than ((~~$42,584,000~~)) $38,425,000 of the general fund—federal appropriation may be expended for supported housing and employment services described in initiative 3a and 3b of the medicaid transformation demonstration waiver under healthier Washington. Under this initiative, the authority and the department of social and health services shall ensure that allowable and necessary services are provided to eligible clients as identified by the department or its third party administrator. The authority and the department in consultation with the medicaid forecast work group, shall ensure that reasonable reimbursements are established for services deemed necessary within an identified limit per individual. The authority shall not increase general fund—state expenditures under this initiative. The director shall report to the joint select committee on health care oversight no less than quarterly on financial and health outcomes. The director shall also report to the fiscal committees of the legislature all of the expenditures of this subsection and shall provide such fiscal data in the time, manner, and form requested by the legislative fiscal committees.

((~~(g)~~)) (i) Sufficient amounts are appropriated in this subsection to implement the medicaid expansion as defined in the social security act, section 1902(a)(10)(A)(i)(VIII).

((~~(h)~~)) (j) The legislature finds that medicaid payment rates, as calculated by the health care authority pursuant to the appropriations in this act, bear a reasonable relationship to the costs incurred by efficiently and economically operated facilities for providing quality services and will be sufficient to enlist enough providers so that care and services are available to the extent that such care and services are available to the general population in the geographic area. The legislature finds that the cost reports, payment data from the federal government, historical utilization, economic data, and clinical input constitute reliable data upon which to determine the payment rates.

((~~(i)~~)) (k) Based on quarterly expenditure reports and caseload forecasts, if the health care authority estimates that expenditures for the medical assistance program will exceed the appropriations, the health care authority 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.

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

((~~(k)~~)) (m) 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.

((~~(l)~~)) (n) When a person is ineligible for medicaid solely by reason of residence in an institution for mental diseases, the health care authority 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.

((~~(m)~~)) (o) $4,261,000 of the general fund—state appropriation for fiscal year 2018, $4,261,000 of the general fund—state appropriation for fiscal year 2019, and $8,522,000 of the general fund—federal appropriation are provided solely for low-income disproportionate share hospital payments.

((~~(n)~~)) (p) Within the amounts appropriated in this section, the health care authority shall provide disproportionate share hospital payments to hospitals that provide services to children in the children's health program who are not eligible for services under Title XIX or XXI of the federal social security act due to their citizenship status.

((~~(o)~~)) (q) $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. The supplemental payments are subject to retrospective interim and final cost settlements based on the nursing homes' as-filed and final medicare cost reports. The timing of the interim and final cost settlements shall be at the health care authority's discretion. During either the interim cost settlement or the final cost settlement, the health care authority shall recoup from the public hospital districts the supplemental payments that exceed the medicaid cost limit and/or the medicare upper payment limit. The health care authority shall apply federal rules for identifying the eligible incurred medicaid costs and the medicare upper payment limit.

((~~(p)~~)) (r) The health care authority shall continue the inpatient hospital certified public expenditures program for the 2017-2019 fiscal 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. The health care authority shall submit reports to the governor and legislature by November 1, 2017, and by November 1, 2018, that evaluate whether savings continue to exceed costs for this program. If the certified public expenditures (CPE) program in its current form is no longer cost-effective to maintain, the health care authority shall submit a report to the governor and legislature detailing cost-effective alternative uses of local, state, and federal resources as a replacement for this program. During fiscal year 2018 and fiscal year 2019, hospitals in the program shall be paid and shall retain one hundred percent of the federal portion of the allowable hospital cost for each medicaid inpatient fee-for-service claim payable by medical assistance and one hundred percent of the federal portion of the maximum disproportionate share hospital payment allowable under federal regulations. Inpatient medicaid payments shall be established using an allowable methodology that approximates the cost of claims submitted by the hospitals. Payments made to each hospital in the program in each fiscal year of the biennium shall be compared to a baseline amount. The baseline amount will be determined by the total of (i) the inpatient claim payment amounts that would have been paid during the fiscal year had the hospital not been in the CPE program based on the reimbursement rates developed, implemented, and consistent with policies approved in the 2017-2019 biennial operating appropriations act and in effect on July 1, 2015, (ii) one-half of the indigent assistance disproportionate share hospital payment amounts paid to and retained by each hospital during fiscal year 2005, and (iii) all of the other disproportionate share hospital payment amounts paid to and retained by each hospital during fiscal year 2005 to the extent the same disproportionate share hospital programs exist in the 2017-2019 fiscal biennium. If payments during the fiscal year exceed the hospital's baseline amount, no additional payments will be made to the hospital except the federal portion of allowable disproportionate share hospital payments for which the hospital can certify allowable match. If payments during the fiscal year are less than the baseline amount, the hospital will be paid a state grant equal to the difference between payments during the fiscal year and the applicable baseline amount. Payment of the state grant shall be made in the applicable fiscal year and distributed in monthly payments. The grants will be recalculated and redistributed as the baseline is updated during the fiscal year. The grant payments are subject to an interim settlement within eleven months after the end of the fiscal year. A final settlement shall be performed. To the extent that either settlement determines that a hospital has received funds in excess of what it would have received as described in this subsection, the hospital must repay the excess amounts to the state when requested. ((~~$10,575,000~~)) $359,000 of the general fund—state appropriation for fiscal year 2018 and ((~~$13,185,000~~)) $361,000 of the general fund—state appropriation for fiscal year 2019 are provided solely for state grants for the participating hospitals.

((~~(q)~~)) (s) The health care authority shall seek public-private partnerships and federal funds that are or may become available to provide on-going support for outreach and education efforts under the federal children's health insurance program reauthorization act of 2009.

((~~(r)~~)) (t) The health care authority shall target funding for maternity support services towards pregnant women with factors that lead to higher rates of poor birth outcomes, including hypertension, a preterm or low birth weight birth in the most recent previous birth, a cognitive deficit or developmental disability, substance abuse, severe mental illness, unhealthy weight or failure to gain weight, tobacco use, or African American or Native American race. The health care authority shall prioritize evidence-based practices for delivery of maternity support services. To the extent practicable, the health care authority shall develop a mechanism to increase federal funding for maternity support services by leveraging local public funding for those services.

((~~(s)~~)) (u) The authority shall submit reports to the governor and the legislature by September 15, 2018, and no later than September 15, 2019, that delineate the number of individuals in medicaid managed care, by carrier, age, gender, and eligibility category, receiving preventative services and vaccinations. The reports should include baseline and benchmark information from the previous two fiscal years and should be inclusive of, but not limited to, services recommended under the United States preventative services task force, advisory committee on immunization practices, early and periodic screening, diagnostic, and treatment (EPSDT) guidelines, and other relevant preventative and vaccination medicaid guidelines and requirements.

((~~(t)~~)) (v) Managed care contracts must incorporate accountability measures that monitor patient health and improved health outcomes, and shall include an expectation that each patient receive a wellness examination that documents the baseline health status and allows for monitoring of health improvements and outcome measures.

((~~(u)~~)) (w) Sufficient amounts are appropriated in this section for the authority to provide an adult dental benefit.

((~~(v)~~)) (x) The health care authority shall coordinate with the department of social and health services to provide referrals to the Washington health benefit exchange for clients that will be ineligible for medicaid.

((~~(w)~~)) (y) To facilitate a single point of entry across public and medical assistance programs, and to maximize the use of federal funding, the health care authority, the department of social and health services, and the health benefit exchange will coordinate efforts to expand HealthPlanfinder access to public assistance and medical eligibility staff. The health care authority shall complete medicaid applications in the HealthPlanfinder for households receiving or applying for medical assistance benefits.

((~~(x)~~)) (z) $90,000 of the general fund—state appropriation for fiscal year 2018, $90,000 of the general fund—state appropriation for fiscal year 2019, and $180,000 of the general fund—federal appropriation are provided solely to continue operation by a nonprofit organization of a toll-free hotline that assists families to learn about and enroll in the apple health for kids program.

((~~(cc)~~)) (ee) The authority shall use revenue appropriated from the dedicated marijuana fund for contracts with community health centers under RCW 69.50.540 in lieu of general fund—state payments to community health centers for services provided to medical assistance clients, and it is the intent of the legislature that this policy will be continued in subsequent fiscal biennia.

((~~(dd)~~)) (ff) $127,000 of the general fund—state appropriation for fiscal year 2018 and $1,144,000 of the general fund—federal appropriation are provided solely to the ProviderOne provider overtime project and are subject to the conditions, limitations, and review provided in section 724 of this act.

((~~(hh)~~)) (jj) Sufficient amounts are appropriated in this section for the authority to provide a collaborative care benefit beginning July 1, 2017.

((~~(ii)~~)) (kk) The authority and the department of social and health services shall convene a work group consisting of representatives of skilled nursing facilities, adult family homes, assisted living facilities, managers of in-home long-term care, hospitals, and managed health care systems. The work group shall identify barriers that may prevent skilled nursing facilities from accepting and admitting clients from acute care hospitals in a timely and appropriate manner. The work group shall consider what additional resources are needed to allow for faster transfers of enrollees, including those with complex needs. By December 1, 2017, the authority shall report the work group's findings to the governor and the appropriate committees of the legislature.

((~~(jj)~~)) (ll) Within the amounts appropriated within this section, the authority shall implement the plan to show how improved access to home health nursing reduces potentially preventable readmissions, increases access to care, reduces hospital length of stay, and prevents overall hospital admissions for clients receiving private duty nursing, medically intensive care, or home health benefits as described in their report to the legislature dated December 15, 2016, entitled home health nursing. The authority shall report to the governor and appropriate committees of the legislature by December 31, 2017, information regarding the effect of the ten dollar rate increases for skilled nursing care delivered via private duty nursing or home health nursing, and how the rate changes impacted the utilization and cost of emergency room visits, reduced the length of stay for initial hospital admissions, and reduced utilization and costs of preventable hospital readmissions.

(i) Enter into an extended grant agreement with a local government conducting remedial actions at a facility where those actions extend over multiple biennia and the total eligible cost of those actions exceeds twenty million dollars. The agreement is subject to the following limitations:

(A) The initial duration of such an agreement may not exceed ten years. The department may extend the duration of such an agreement upon finding substantial progress has been made on remedial actions at the facility;

(B) Extended grant agreements may not exceed fifty percent of the total eligible remedial action costs at the facility; and

(C) The department may not allocate future funding to an extended grant agreement unless the local government has demonstrated to the department that funds awarded under the agreement during the previous biennium have been substantially expended or contracts have been entered into to substantially expend the funds;

(ii) Enter into a grant agreement with a local government conducting a remedial action that provides for periodic reimbursement of remedial action costs as they are incurred as established in the agreement;

(iii) Enter into a grant agreement with a local government prior to it acquiring a property or obtaining necessary access to conduct remedial actions, provided the agreement is conditioned upon the local government acquiring the property or obtaining the access in accordance with a schedule specified in the agreement;

(iv) Provide integrated planning grants to local governments to fund studies necessary to facilitate remedial actions at brownfield properties and adaptive reuse of properties following remediation. Eligible activities include, but are not limited to: Environmental site assessments; remedial investigations; health assessments; feasibility studies; site planning; community involvement; land use and regulatory analyses; building and infrastructure assessments; economic and fiscal analyses; and any environmental analyses under chapter 43.21C RCW;

(v) Provide grants to local governments for remedial actions related to area-wide groundwater contamination. To receive the funding, the local government does not need to be a potentially liable person or be required to seek reimbursement of grant funds from a potentially liable person;

(vi) The director may alter grant matching requirements to create incentives for local governments to expedite cleanups when one of the following conditions exists:

(A) Funding would prevent or mitigate unfair economic hardship imposed by the clean‑up liability;

(B) Funding would create new substantial economic development, public recreational opportunities, or habitat restoration opportunities that would not otherwise occur; or

(C) Funding would create an opportunity for acquisition and redevelopment of brownfield property under RCW 70.105D.040(5) that would not otherwise occur;

(vii) When pending grant applications under ((~~(e)~~)) (c)(iv) and (v) of this subsection (4) exceed the amount of funds available, designated redevelopment opportunity zones must receive priority for distribution of available funds.

No grant may exceed sixty thousand dollars. Grants may be renewed annually. Moneys appropriated for public participation that are not expended at the close of any biennium revert to the state toxics control account.

To accelerate both remedial action and economic recovery, the department may expedite the adoption of rules necessary to implement chapter 1, Laws of 2013 2nd sp. sess. using the expedited procedures in RCW 34.05.353. The department shall initiate the award of financial assistance by August 1, 2013. To ensure the adoption of rules will not delay financial assistance, the department may administer the award of financial assistance through interpretive guidance pending the adoption of rules through July 1, 2014.

(9) Except as provided under subsection (3)(k) and (q) of this section, nothing in chapter 1, Laws of 2013 2nd sp. sess. affects the ability of a potentially liable person to receive public funding.

(10) ((During the 2015-2017 fiscal biennium the local toxics control account may also be used for the centennial clean water program and for the stormwater financial assistance program administered by the department of ecology.

~~(11)~~)) During the 2017-2019 biennium:

Sec. 3007. 2018 c 2 s 3025 (uncodified) is amended to read as follows:

FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF ECOLOGY

VW Settlement Funded Projects (40000018)

((~~The appropriation in this section is subject to the following conditions and limitations:~~

(1) The legislature finds that it is appropriate to provide a framework for the administration of mitigation funds provided to the state as a beneficiary under the terms of the consent decrees entered into by the United States, Volkswagen AG, and other participating parties that settle emissions-related claims for 2.0 and 3.0 liter diesel vehicles of certain models and years. The legislature deems the department of ecology the responsible agency for the administration and expenditure of funds provided by the trustee under the terms of the consent decrees, including the development of a mitigation plan to guide the use of the funds, whether or not the department receives funds directly for projects included in the plan.

(2)(a) The department of ecology shall develop the mitigation plan through an open, transparent public process consistent with direction in the consent decrees. The department shall provide ample opportunity using a variety of engagement options, as appropriate, for stakeholders and the public to shape, review, and comment throughout the development of the mitigation plan, including at least two meetings of the legislative advisory group as described in (c) of this subsection.

(b) The department of ecology shall work collaboratively with other agencies to develop and implement the elements of the mitigation plan that address categories of projects for which other agencies have already developed programs or expertise. In doing so, the department of ecology must consider and utilize, where appropriate and to the extent possible, the following existing programs for alternative fuels and zero emission vehicles:

~~(i) The department of transportation's electric vehicle infrastructure bank program;~~

~~(ii) The state alternative fuel commercial vehicle tax credit;~~

~~(iii) The state sales and use tax exemption for clean vehicles; and~~

~~(iv) Public transportation grant programs administered by the department of transportation.~~

(c)(i) For the purposes of providing legislative input and gathering public feedback on the development of the mitigation plan, a legislative advisory group is established. The advisory group is comprised of eight legislators, including the chairs and ranking members, or designees of the chairs and ranking members, of the transportation and capital budget committees in the House and in the Senate; the director of the department of ecology; and the secretary of the department of transportation.

~~(ii) The advisory group must select a chair from among its membership. Meetings of the advisory group must be open to the public and allow for public comment.~~

(iii) The advisory group must meet at least twice, once immediately prior to the date that the draft mitigation plan is released publicly, and again after public comment has been incorporated but before the department submits the plan to the trustee.

(iv) The office of program research and the senate committee services must provide staff support to the advisory group. The department of ecology staff must provide technical support, as needed. Legislative members of the advisory group are reimbursed for travel expenses in accordance with RCW 44.04.120. Nonlegislative members are not entitled to be reimbursed for travel expenses if they are elected officials or are participating on behalf of an employer, government entity, or other organization. Any reimbursement for other nonlegislative members is subject to chapter 43.03 RCW. Advisory group expenditures are subject to approval by the senate facilities and operations committee and the house of representatives executive rules committee, or their successor committees.

~~(3) The mitigation plan and the stewardship of project implementation must adhere to the following principles:~~

~~(a) Maximize air quality and public health benefits relating to the reduction of nitrogen oxides emissions;~~

~~(b) Give priority to projects that improve air quality relating to the reduction of nitrogen oxides emissions in areas that bear a disproportionate share of the burden from nitrogen oxides emissions;~~

~~(c) Achieve substantial additional air quality benefits relating to the reduction of nitrogen oxides emissions beyond that which would already occur, absent trust funding;~~

(d) Investments in clean vehicles or investments in clean engine replacements must be shown to be cost-effective. For the purposes of leveraging funding, investments in clean vehicles may not exceed the incremental cost of the clean vehicle, relative to the cost of a similar conventionally fueled vehicle. To incentivize the replacement of standard engines, investments may be made up to the full cost of the clean engine replacement;

~~(e) Consideration must be given to investments across a range of fueling technologies and emissions reduction technologies; and~~

~~(f) Priority must be given to projects that have the highest benefit-cost ratios, in terms of the amount of nitrogen oxides emissions reduced per dollar invested.~~

~~(4) Funding must be allocated to eligible projects under the terms of the consent decrees in the following manner:~~

~~(a)(i) No more than thirty percent of funding provided during the 2017-2019 biennium for commercial vehicle class four through eight transit buses, shuttle buses, and school buses;~~

~~(ii) No more than thirty percent of funding provided during the 2017-2019 biennium for commercial vehicle class eight local freight trucks and port drayage trucks;~~

~~(iii) No more than twenty percent of funding provided during the 2017-2019 biennium for commercial vehicle class four through seven local freight trucks;~~

~~(iv) No more than twenty percent of funding provided during the 2017-2019 biennium for airport ground support equipment;~~

~~(v) No more than twenty percent of funding provided during the 2017-2019 biennium for ocean-going vessels' shore power;~~

~~(vi) No more than fifteen percent of funding provided during the 2017-2019 biennium for light duty, zero emission vehicle supply equipment;~~

~~(vii) No more than twenty percent of funding provided during the 2017-2019 biennium for nonfederal matching funds for projects eligible under the diesel emission reduction act option; and~~

(viii) For each of the other categories of mitigation actions that are eligible under the consent decrees but not otherwise specified under this subsection (4)(a), no more than ten percent of funding provided during the 2017-2019 biennium.

(b) Projects that receive funding under subsection (4)(a)(ii) and (iii) of this section and ocean-going vessels shorepower projects that receive funding under subsection (4)(a)(viii) of this section must include electric technologies, if practicable.

~~(5) To the extent this section conflicts with the consent decrees, the consent decrees supersede it.~~

(6) The department of ecology may modify the mitigation plan as needed to comply with trustee requirements, including to the extent these modifications conflict with this section. In making any adjustments, the department of ecology shall consult with the department of transportation and the office of the superintendent of public instruction and provide notice to the steering committee of any significant changes to the plan submitted.

(7) The department of ecology shall provide a report to the governor and the appropriate committees of the legislature by January 1, 2018, and each year thereafter, on any plans or efforts to change the mitigation plan, its progress in implementing the mitigation plan, and the specific projects funded through these mitigation funds for the previous fiscal year.

~~(8) For the purposes of this section:~~

(a) "Project" means an eligible mitigation action under the terms of the consent decrees entered into by the United States, Volkswagen AG, and other participating parties that settle emissions-related claims for 2.0 and 3.0 liter diesel vehicles of certain models and years.

(b) "Trustee" means the entity selected under the terms of the consent decrees to administer the disbursement of funds to eligible projects for the purposes of mitigating nitrogen oxides emission pollution.))

The appropriation in this section is subject to the following conditions and limitations:

(1)(a) The legislature finds that it is appropriate to provide a framework for the administration of mitigation funds provided to the state as a beneficiary under the terms of the consent decrees entered into by the United States, Volkswagen AG, and other participating parties that settle emissions-related claims for 2.0 and 3.0 liter diesel vehicles of certain models and years. The legislature deems the department of ecology the responsible agency for the administration and expenditure of funds provided by the trustee under the terms of the consent decrees, including the development of a mitigation plan to guide the use of the funds, whether or not the department receives funds directly for projects included in the plan.

(b) The department of ecology shall work collaboratively with other agencies to implement the elements of the mitigation plan that address categories of projects for which other agencies have already developed programs or expertise. In doing so, the department of ecology must consider and utilize, where appropriate and to the extent practical, the following existing programs for alternative fuels and zero-emission vehicles:

(i) The department of transportation's electric vehicle infrastructure bank program;

(ii) The state alternative fuel commercial vehicle tax credit;

(iii) The state sales and use tax exemption for clean vehicles; and

(iv) Public transportation grant programs administered by the department of transportation.

(c)(i) For the purposes of providing legislative input and gathering public feedback on the mitigation plan, a steering committee is established. The steering committee is comprised of the following members: Four legislators, one from each major caucus, and one alternate for each of the four legislators; the director of the department of ecology, or his or her designee; the director of enterprise services, or his or her designee; the director of the office of financial management, or his or her designee; the governor, or his or her designee; and the secretary of the department of transportation, or his or her designee.

(ii) As the responsible agency for administration of funds provided by the trustee under the terms of the consent decree, the department of ecology shall chair the steering committee. Meetings of the steering committee must be open to the public.

(iii) The steering committee shall meet as needed to review the mitigation plan and review project category selection principles and priorities, and project proposals.

(iv) The department of ecology staff shall provide support to the steering committee as needed. Legislative members and alternates of the advisory group are reimbursed for travel expenses in accordance with RCW 44.04.120. Nonlegislative members are not entitled to be reimbursed for travel expenses if they are elected officials or are participating on behalf of an employer, government entity, or other organization.

(2) The stewardship of project implementation must adhere to the following principles:

(a) Maximize air quality and public health benefits relating to the reduction of nitrogen oxides emissions, other toxic air pollutant emissions and carbon emissions;

(b) Encouraging projects that improve air quality in areas that bear a disproportionate share of the burden from nitrogen oxides emissions and reduce carbon emissions.

(d) Achieve substantial additional air quality benefits relating to the reduction of nitrogen oxides emissions beyond that which would already occur, absent trust funding;

(e) Investments in clean vehicles and vessels or investments in clean engine replacements are encouraged to be cost-effective. For the purposes of leveraging funding, investments in clean vehicles may not exceed the incremental cost of the clean vehicle, relative to the cost of a similar conventionally fueled vehicle. To incentivize the replacement while maximizing achievement of complimentary state goals of standard engines, investments may be made up to the full cost of the clean engine replacement;

(f) Investments must be across a range of low and zero emission fueling technologies including, but not limited to, electric, hybrid, zero emission, and compressed natural gas and other emissions reduction fuels and technologies; and

(g) Encouragement of projects that have high benefit-cost ratios for reductions of nitrogen oxides emissions and carbon emissions.

(3) Funding must be allocated to eligible projects under the terms of the consent decrees in the following manner:

(a)(i) No more than sixty percent of funding may be provided for on-road heavy duty vehicles; class four through eight school buses, shuttle buses, or transit buses; commercial vehicle class four through eight transit buses, shuttle buses, and school buses; and commercial vehicle class eight local freight trucks and port drayage trucks;

Priority must be given to those projects for which grant funds were sought under the department of transportation's grant opportunity for DC fast chargers for Washington's interregional corridors program in 2017, that ranked high in the grant evaluation but did not receive funding; and

(vii) No more than five percent of funding may be provided for nonfederal matching funds for projects eligible under the diesel emission reduction act option.

(4) To the extent this section conflicts with the consent decrees, the consent decrees supersede it.

(5) The department of ecology may modify the mitigation plan as needed to comply with trustee requirements, including to the extent these modifications conflict with this section. In making any adjustments, the department of ecology shall provide notice to the steering committee of any significant changes to the plan submitted.

(6) The department of ecology shall provide a report to the governor and the appropriate committees of the legislature by January 1, 2019, and each year thereafter, on any plans or efforts to change the mitigation plan, its progress in implementing the mitigation plan, and the specific projects funded through these mitigation funds for the previous fiscal year.

Led by the United States Food Administration's efforts to conserve resources, families planted victory gardens which led to more home food production and conservation. They consumed less meat, wheat, and sugar foodstuffs and women joined the workforce while everyone from school children to the elderly joined the "Knitting for Victory" campaigns to produce garments to send to soldiers and civilians in Europe; and

WHEREAS, The patriotic sacrifices of Washington state men and women are commemorated through World War I monuments and memorials across the state from the Boulevard of Remembrance at Fort Lewis, a series of Oak Trees eventually numbering nearly 500 planted in 1928 by the Tacoma Garden Club along the Pacific Avenue corridor of Fort Lewis to honor the lives lost in the conflict, to the Winged Victory monument on the Capitol Campus dedicated in 1938, to Hill's Stonehenge Memorial in Klickitat County, the nation's first WWI memorial dedicated in 1918; and
