(a) The number of certificated staff units determined in subsection (2) of this section; and
(b) The number of classified staff units determined in subsection (3) of this section multiplied by 1.152. This factor is intended to adjust allocations so that, for the purposes of distributing insurance benefits, full time equivalent classified employees may be calculated on the basis of 1440 hours of work per year, with no individual employee counted as more than one full time equivalent.
(6)(a) For nonemployee-related costs associated with each certificated staff unit allocated under subsection (2) (a), (b), and (d) through (h) of this section, there shall be provided a maximum of $6,848 per certificated staff unit in the 1991‑92 school year and a maximum of $7,060 per certificated staff unit in the 1992-93 school year.

(11)(a) Funds provided under subsection (2)(a)(ii) of this section in excess of the amount required to maintain the statutory minimum ratio established under RCW 28A.150.260(2)(c), shall be allocated only if the district documents an actual ratio equal to or greater than 54.3 certificated instructional staff per thousand full time equivalent students in grades K-3. For any school district documenting a lower certificated instructional staff ratio, the allocation shall be based on the district's actual K-3 certificated instructional staff ratio achieved in that school year, or the statutory minimum ratio established under RCW 28A.150.260(2)(c), if greater.
(b) Districts at or above 51.0 certificated instructional staff per one thousand full time equivalent students in grades K-3 may dedicate up to 1.3 of the 54.3 funding ratio to employ additional classified instructional assistants assigned to basic education classrooms in grades K-3.

(c) Any district maintaining a ratio equal to or greater than 54.3 certificated instructional staff per thousand full time equivalent students in grades K-3 may use allocations generated under subsection (2)(a)(ii) in excess of that required to maintain the minimum ratio established under RCW 28A.150.260(2)(c) to employ additional basic education certificated instructional staff or classified instructional assistants in grades 4-6. Funds allocated under this section shall only be expended to reduce class size in grades K-6. No more than 1.3 of the certificated instructional funding ratio amount may be expended for provision of classified instructional assistants.
(12) The superintendent of public instruction shall study the rate of staff per student if current levels of certificated instructional staffing and paraprofessionals are counted together as "classroom resources." A report identifying "classroom resource" per pupil rates shall be provided to the appropriate fiscal and policy committees of the house of representatives and senate by January 10, 1992.

office of financial management shall report to the fiscal committees of the
legislature by January 1, 1992, and January 1, 1993, on the amounts and sources
of moneys deposited into the savings recovery account.
*Sec. 906 was vetoed, see message at end of chapter.
Sec. 907. RCW 70.47.030 and 1991 sp.s. c 13 s 68 and 1991 sp.s. c 4 s 1 are each reenacted and amended to read as follows:
The
basic health plan trust account is hereby established in the state treasury.
All nongeneral fund-state funds collected for this program shall be deposited
in the basic health plan trust account and may be expended without further
appropriation. Moneys in the account shall be used exclusively for the
purposes of this chapter, including payments to participating managed health
care systems on behalf of enrollees in the plan and payment of costs of administering
the plan. After July 1, ((1991)) 1993, the administrator shall
not expend or encumber for an ensuing fiscal period amounts exceeding
ninety-five percent of the amount anticipated to be spent for purchased
services during the fiscal year.
Sec. 908. RCW 70.47.060 and 1991 sp.s. c 4 s 2 and 1991 c 3 s 339 are each reenacted and amended to read as follows:
The administrator has the following powers and duties:
(1) To
design and from time to time revise a schedule of covered basic health care
services, including physician services, inpatient and outpatient hospital
services, and other services that may be necessary for basic health care, which
enrollees in any participating managed health care system under the Washington
basic health plan shall be entitled to receive in return for premium payments
to the plan. The schedule of services shall emphasize proven preventive and
primary health care((,)) and shall include all services necessary
for prenatal, postnatal, and well-child care((, and shall)).
However, for the period ending June 30, 1993, with respect to coverage for
groups of subsidized enrollees, the administrator shall not contract for
prenatal or postnatal services that are provided under the medical assistance
program under chapter 74.09 RCW except to the extent that such services are
necessary over not more than a one-month period in order to maintain continuity
of care after diagnosis of pregnancy by the managed care provider, or except to
provide any such services associated with pregnancies diagnosed by the managed
care provider before July 1, 1992. The schedule of services shall also
include a separate schedule of basic health care services for children,
eighteen years of age and younger, for those enrollees who choose to secure
basic coverage through the plan only for their dependent children. In
designing and revising the schedule of services, the administrator shall
consider the guidelines for assessing health services under the mandated
benefits act of 1984, RCW 48.42.080, and such other factors as the
administrator deems appropriate.
(2) To design and implement a structure of periodic premiums due the administrator from enrollees that is based upon gross family income, giving appropriate consideration to family size as well as the ages of all family members. The enrollment of children shall not require the enrollment of their parent or parents who are eligible for the plan.
(3) To design and implement a structure of nominal copayments due a managed health care system from enrollees. The structure shall discourage inappropriate enrollee utilization of health care services, but shall not be so costly to enrollees as to constitute a barrier to appropriate utilization of necessary health care services.
(4) To design and implement, in concert with a sufficient number of potential providers in a discrete area, an enrollee financial participation structure, separate from that otherwise established under this chapter, that has the following characteristics:
(a) Nominal premiums that are based upon ability to pay, but not set at a level that would discourage enrollment;
(b) A modified fee-for-services payment schedule for providers;
(c) Coinsurance rates that are established based on specific service and procedure costs and the enrollee's ability to pay for the care. However, coinsurance rates for families with incomes below one hundred twenty percent of the federal poverty level shall be nominal. No coinsurance shall be required for specific proven prevention programs, such as prenatal care. The coinsurance rate levels shall not have a measurable negative effect upon the enrollee's health status; and
(d) A case management system that fosters a provider-enrollee relationship whereby, in an effort to control cost, maintain or improve the health status of the enrollee, and maximize patient involvement in her or his health care decision-making process, every effort is made by the provider to inform the enrollee of the cost of the specific services and procedures and related health benefits.
The potential financial liability of the plan to any such providers shall not exceed in the aggregate an amount greater than that which might otherwise have been incurred by the plan on the basis of the number of enrollees multiplied by the average of the prepaid capitated rates negotiated with participating managed health care systems under RCW 70.47.100 and reduced by any sums charged enrollees on the basis of the coinsurance rates that are established under this subsection.
(5) To limit enrollment of persons who qualify for subsidies so as to prevent an overexpenditure of appropriations for such purposes. Whenever the administrator finds that there is danger of such an overexpenditure, the administrator shall close enrollment until the administrator finds the danger no longer exists.
(6) To adopt a schedule for the orderly development of the delivery of services and availability of the plan to residents of the state, subject to the limitations contained in RCW 70.47.080.
In the selection of any area of the state for the initial operation of the plan, the administrator shall take into account the levels and rates of unemployment in different areas of the state, the need to provide basic health care coverage to a population reasonably representative of the portion of the state's population that lacks such coverage, and the need for geographic, demographic, and economic diversity.
Before July 1, 1988, the administrator shall endeavor to secure participation contracts with managed health care systems in discrete geographic areas within at least five congressional districts.
(7) To solicit and accept applications from managed health care systems, as defined in this chapter, for inclusion as eligible basic health care providers under the plan. The administrator shall endeavor to assure that covered basic health care services are available to any enrollee of the plan from among a selection of two or more participating managed health care systems. In adopting any rules or procedures applicable to managed health care systems and in its dealings with such systems, the administrator shall consider and make suitable allowance for the need for health care services and the differences in local availability of health care resources, along with other resources, within and among the several areas of the state.
(8) To receive periodic premiums from enrollees, deposit them in the basic health plan operating account, keep records of enrollee status, and authorize periodic payments to managed health care systems on the basis of the number of enrollees participating in the respective managed health care systems.
(9) To accept applications from individuals residing in areas served by the plan, on behalf of themselves and their spouses and dependent children, for enrollment in the Washington basic health plan, to establish appropriate minimum-enrollment periods for enrollees as may be necessary, and to determine, upon application and at least annually thereafter, or at the request of any enrollee, eligibility due to current gross family income for sliding scale premiums. An enrollee who remains current in payment of the sliding-scale premium, as determined under subsection (2) of this section, and whose gross family income has risen above twice the federal poverty level, may continue enrollment unless and until the enrollee's gross family income has remained above twice the poverty level for six consecutive months, by making payment at the unsubsidized rate required for the managed health care system in which he or she may be enrolled. No subsidy may be paid with respect to any enrollee whose current gross family income exceeds twice the federal poverty level or, subject to RCW 70.47.110, who is a recipient of medical assistance or medical care services under chapter 74.09 RCW. If a number of enrollees drop their enrollment for no apparent good cause, the administrator may establish appropriate rules or requirements that are applicable to such individuals before they will be allowed to re-enroll in the plan.
(10) To determine the rate to be paid to each participating managed health care system in return for the provision of covered basic health care services to enrollees in the system. Although the schedule of covered basic health care services will be the same for similar enrollees, the rates negotiated with participating managed health care systems may vary among the systems. In negotiating rates with participating systems, the administrator shall consider the characteristics of the populations served by the respective systems, economic circumstances of the local area, the need to conserve the resources of the basic health plan trust account, and other factors the administrator finds relevant.
(11) To monitor the provision of covered services to enrollees by participating managed health care systems in order to assure enrollee access to good quality basic health care, to require periodic data reports concerning the utilization of health care services rendered to enrollees in order to provide adequate information for evaluation, and to inspect the books and records of participating managed health care systems to assure compliance with the purposes of this chapter. In requiring reports from participating managed health care systems, including data on services rendered enrollees, the administrator shall endeavor to minimize costs, both to the managed health care systems and to the administrator. The administrator shall coordinate any such reporting requirements with other state agencies, such as the insurance commissioner and the department of health, to minimize duplication of effort.
(12) To monitor the access that state residents have to adequate and necessary health care services, determine the extent of any unmet needs for such services or lack of access that may exist from time to time, and make such reports and recommendations to the legislature as the administrator deems appropriate.
(13) To evaluate the effects this chapter has on private employer-based health care coverage and to take appropriate measures consistent with state and federal statutes that will discourage the reduction of such coverage in the state.
(14) To develop a program of proven preventive health measures and to integrate it into the plan wherever possible and consistent with this chapter.
(15) To provide, consistent with available resources, technical assistance for rural health activities that endeavor to develop needed health care services in rural parts of the state.

Sec. 909. RCW 70.146.080 and 1991 sp.s. c 16 s 923 is amended to read as follows:
Within thirty days after June 30, 1987, and within thirty days after each succeeding fiscal year thereafter, the state treasurer shall determine the tax receipts deposited into the water quality account for the preceding fiscal year. If the tax receipts deposited into the account in each of the fiscal years 1988 and 1989 are less than forty million dollars, the state treasurer shall transfer sufficient moneys from general state revenues into the water quality account to bring the total receipts in each fiscal year up to forty million dollars.
For the biennium ending June 30, 1991, if the tax receipts deposited into the water quality account and the earnings on investment of balances credited to the account are less than ninety million dollars, the treasurer shall transfer sufficient moneys from general state revenues into the water quality account to bring the total revenue up to ninety million dollars. The determination and transfer shall be made by July 31, 1991 but during the 1991-93 biennium the legislature may subsequently direct the treasurer to transfer up to that same amount back to the general fund.
For fiscal year ((1992)) 1993 and thereafter, if the
tax receipts deposited into the water quality account for each fiscal year are
less than forty-five million dollars, the treasurer shall transfer sufficient
moneys from general state revenues into the water quality account to bring the
total revenue up to forty-five million dollars. Determinations and transfers
shall be made by July 31 for the preceding fiscal year.
*Sec. 909 was vetoed, see message at end of chapter.
*
Sec. 910. RCW 86.26.007 and 1991 sp.s. c 13 s 24 are each amended to read as follows:
The flood control assistance account is hereby established in the state treasury. At the beginning of each biennium the state treasurer shall transfer from the general fund to the flood control assistance account an amount of money which, when combined with money remaining in the account from the previous biennium, will equal four million dollars. During the 1991-93 biennium the legislature may direct the transfer of amounts from the account to the general fund. Moneys in the flood control assistance account may be spent only after appropriation for purposes specified under this chapter.
*Sec. 910 was vetoed, see message at end of chapter.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 911. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this act or its application to any person or circumstance is held invalid, the remainder of the act or the application of the provision to other persons or circumstances is not affected.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 912. EMERGENCY CLAUSE. This act is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, or safety, or support of the state government and its existing public institutions, and shall take effect immediately.

Passed the House March 12, 1992.
Passed the Senate March 12, 1992.
Approved by the Governor April 2, 1992, with the exception of certain items which were vetoed.
Filed in Office of Secretary of State April 2, 1992.
Note: Governor's explanation of partial veto is as follows:
"I am returning herewith, without my approval as to sections 111 (page 5, line 8), 117 (page 8, lines 20-23), 124 (page 10, line 26), 125, 127, 128, 129(3), 136(5), 141(6), 142(3), 154, 201 (page 26, lines 6 and 7), 203(3), 205(1)(g), 205(2)(c), 210(10), 210(11), 211(5), 211(6), 222 (page 58, lines 10 and 11), 222 (page 61, lines 15 through 18), 222(3), 222(32), 223, 227, 229 (page 72, lines 23 and 24), 303 (page 83, lines 14 and 15), 303 (page 83, line 18), 307 (page 91, lines 19 and 20), 307(9), 311 (page 96, lines 3 and 4), 610(3)(a), 704, 802 (page 194, lines 15-17), 802 (page 195, lines 17, 18, 19 and 20), 903, 906, 909 and 910, Engrossed Substitute House Bill No. 2470 entitled:
"AN ACT Relating to fiscal matters."
My reasons for vetoing these sections are as follows:
Section 111, page 5, line 8, Court of Appeals
This section reduces the appropriation for the Court of Appeals by $371,000 from the level included in section 111, chapter 16, Laws of 1991, 1st special session, and includes language (also present in sections 109 (Supreme Court) and 113 (Administrator for the Courts)) that allows the Supreme Court, the Court of Appeals, and the Administrator for the Courts, by mutual agreement to utilize their state General Fund appropriations "to make efficient and effective use of available financial resources within the entire judicial branch." I am convinced that the total state General Fund appropriations to these agencies is insufficient to allow the performance of the essential functions of these agencies. I have vetoed only the appropriation in this section, restoring $371,000 in appropriations to be used, pursuant to the retained proviso language, to meet the financial requirements of the three judicial agencies.
Section 117, page 8, lines 20-23, Gratuity Tracking System (Public Disclosure Commission)
The proviso in this section requires the agency to expend $25,000 to implement a gratuity tracking system. I accept the legislature's decision to reduce the appropriation to the agency by $122,000. Because this reduction is $25,000 greater than my recommendation, I have vetoed this proviso and directed the agency to determine how much, if any, of its appropriation can be made available for this system.
Shellfish Litigation
Section 124, page 10, line 26 (Attorney General)
Section 125, page 12, (Attorney General)
Section 311, page 96, lines 3 and 4 (Department of Fisheries)
The General Fund-State appropriation for the Attorney General includes $915,000 for legal costs related to tribal shellfish litigation. I have returned the Attorney General's General Fund-State appropriation to the $6.3 million originally provided by section 124, chapter 16, Laws of 1991, 1st special session.
Section 125 provides $915,000 in the Attorney General's budget for shellfish litigation expenses. While resolution of the issue of tribal shellfish rights is important, it is unlikely that the full $915,000 will be required for litigation expenses this biennium. Placing this appropriation directly in the Attorney General's budget greatly reduces the ability of the other members of the state shellfish caucus to participate and influence the litigation decisions of the Attorney General. Members of the State Shellfish Caucus include the Department of Fisheries, Department of Health, State Parks and Recreation Commission, Department of Natural Resources, as well as the Attorney General. It is for these reasons that I have vetoed section 125.
In order to restore litigation funding to the Department of Fisheries, I have also vetoed the Department's General Fund-State appropriation. This will provide $4,771,000 in additional appropriation authority to the agency. I have directed the Department to place $3,856,000 in reserve and use $450,000 to cover the costs of shellfish litigation for this biennium. The remaining $465,000 will be used by the Department to cover additional litigation costs and the cost of the mediation process begun by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
Section 127, pages 12 and 13, Office of Financial Management
This section reduces the Office of Financial Management's total appropriation by $4,090,000 and requires the Office of Financial Management to absorb the $300,000 cost of the Commission on Student Learning. These changes impose an unmanageable 13.9 percent reduction in the state's central financial management agency, substantially weakening its ability to support the development and monitor the implementation of budgets and substantive policy in a period when constant vigilance regarding revenues and expenditures will be needed. My veto of this section restores $4,090,000 in appropriation authority. I have directed that $1,218,000 of that restored appropriation be placed in reserve, thus imposing the same state General Fund percentage reduction on the Office of Financial Management (7.4 percent before providing for the Commission on Student Learning) that the supplemental budget imposed on the legislature. My veto also eliminates the increased Savings Recovery Account appropriation to the Office of Financial Management, consistent with my veto of the increase in revenue to the account provided in section 906.
Section 128, page 13, Revolving Fund (Office of Administrative Hearings)
This section reduces funding for the Office of Administrative Hearings by $293,000. Much of the hearings workload handled by the agency is nondiscretionary and supported by nonstate General Fund sources. A reduction in funding will not reduce the demand for hearings services nor limit the number of hearings agencies need. It would only create more need for interagency agreements as a way to fund hearing services in excess of the appropriation. This veto allows the agency to bill for hearings services up to the level of its original appropriation without the need to use resources to create interagency agreements.
Section 129(3), page 14, Data Processing Revolving Fund (Department of Personnel)
This subsection reduces expenditure allotment authority from Fund 419, the Data Processing Revolving Fund, by the Department of Personnel. This reduction in expenditure authority would significantly decrease the Department's ability to develop ad hoc management reports, meet agency requests for software enhancements, and modify the payroll system to meet new requirements. In addition, this language represents an unprecedented intrusion on the Governor's authority to control expenditures from nonappropriated funds through the allotment process as established in RCW 43.88.110.
Section 136(5), page 17, Study of Nonprofit Homes (Department of Revenue)
This subsection provisos $57,400 solely for the implementation of Substitute House Bill No. 2639 (Study of Non-Profit Homes for the Aged) from the Department's existing General Fund-State. While this study would yield information concerning the equity of tax laws as applied to homes for the aged, there were no additional funds provided to conduct the study. I have vetoed the proviso in order to give the Department flexibility. I have directed the Department to undertake a study which satisfies the essential requirements of Substitute House Bill No. 2639, within existing resources, without compromising other necessary revenue collection functions.
Section 141(6), page 20, Facility Support for Tenants of the Labor and Industries and the Natural Resources Buildings (Department of General Administration)
Subsection 6 provides $849,000 of the General Administration Facilities and Services Revolving Fund appropriation for maintenance services to the Department of Labor and Industries and the Department of Natural Resources, subject to negotiations to determine the levels and prices of services. The levels and prices of facility and support services are negotiated between the Department of General Administration and the Office of Financial Management in order to provide a reasonable and equitable level of service among all state agencies. Allowing agencies to negotiate their own service levels and rates would create administrative confusion and subject agencies with less flexibility in funding to substandard service. I have vetoed this proviso and have directed the Department of General Administration to ensure that $849,000 of the Facilities and Services Revolving Fund appropriation is employed solely in support of all of the tenants of the Department of Labor and Industries and the Department of Natural Resources buildings.
Section 142(3), page 21, Reduced Expenditures in the Data Processing Revolving Fund (Department of Information Services)
This subsection reduces by 2.5 percent the agencies' expenditures on information technology provided by the Department of Information Services, reduces the Department of Information Services' administrative and operations personnel by 21 FTEs, and directs the $950,000 saved from the reduced staffing level to be placed in the Savings Recovery Account. I have vetoed this subsection because no savings will result from reducing the Department of Information Services staff. Agency demand for computer services creates the need for the positions, and it is the agency use of the positions which generates the billing for the services rendered. I have also vetoed section 906, which adds "savings" from these staff reductions as a revenue source to the Savings Recovery Account. I have asked the Office of Financial Management to work with agencies and the Department of Information Services to attempt to reduce agency computer service expenditures by 2.5 percent.
Section 154, page 25, Repealer Clause for Sections 101 through 152 of Chapter 16, Laws of 1991 Special Session
Engrossed Substitute House Bill No. 2470 amends appropriations originally made for the 1991-93 Biennium in 1991 special session, chapter 16, the biennial operating budget. The longstanding tradition of the legislature has been to draft supplemental appropriation measures, such as this one, in amendatory form. Thus, the legislature historically has set forth the original appropriations and amendments to them. This historical practice not only reflects the true nature of such measures, it also clearly identifies and makes visible to each member of the legislature intended changes in original biennial appropriation levels. In Part I of Engrossed Substitute House Bill No. 2470, the legislature has abandoned this longstanding practice by repealing numerous original biennial appropriations and replacing them with new appropriations.
As the Governor of this state and a former legislator, I strongly oppose the drafting method employed by the legislature in Part I. It does not provide a clear representation of proposed amendments to biennial appropriation levels and thus, does a disservice to citizens of the state and to the legislative process in which this office participates.
Moreover, the veto authority granted to the Governor by the Constitution of this state is intended to allow the Governor to object to changes in laws, including appropriation measures. By use of this untoward drafting mechanism, the legislature has attempted to thwart the very purpose of the constitutional veto authority of the Governor. Absent veto of section 154, which purports to repeal numerous sections in the 1991-93 biennial operating budget, I would have little choice but to accept the appropriations set forth in Part I of this enactment. The alternative, vetoing any or all of the appropriations in Part I of this enactment, would leave affected offices and agencies wholly without appropriations.
For these reasons, I have vetoed section 154, thereby preventing the repeal of the original appropriations in the biennial operating budget, 1991 special session, chapter 16, identified specifically in section 154 of this enactment.
For reasons fully explained elsewhere in this message, I also have vetoed certain appropriations made in Part I of this enactment. Where I have done so, the appropriation for the affected agency or office will be the original biennial appropriation for that agency or office, appearing in 1991 special session laws, chapter 16. Where I have not vetoed an appropriation contained in Part I of this enactment, the appropriation in Part I will constitute the biennial appropriation for the affected agency or office.
Section 201, page 26, lines 6 and 7, Lease Increases (Children and Family Services, Department of Social and Health Services)
This subsection provides the general Fund-State funding for Children and Family Services within the Department of Social and Health Services. The section eliminates $2.1 million General Fund-State monies necessary to fund existing leases of local and regional Children and Family Services offices. These lease payments are unavoidable and, if left unfunded, must be paid with existing funds. A reduction of Child Protective Services/Child Welfare Services caseworkers and/or cuts in contracted services would be necessary to pay the unfunded leases. Therefore, I have directed the Department to allot $2.1 million to fund these mandatory leases. Of the $11,087,000 General Fund-State in additional appropriation authority, I have directed the Department to place $8,987,000 in reserve.
Section 203(3), page 33, Civil Commitment Center (Mental Health, Department of Social and Health Services)
This subsection provides funds for the Civil Commitment Center operated within the Special Offenders Unit at the Monroe Reformatory. I believe the funds appropriated are insufficient to meet the Center's programmatic needs and may compromise the facility's ability to provide legally mandated treatment. The veto of this subsection will provide $569,000 in additional appropriation authority. I have directed the Department of Social and Health Services to place $273,000 in reserve and use the remaining $296,000 to adequately fund the Civil Commitment Center.
Section 205(1)(g), pages 37 and 38, Medicaid Tax Expenditures (Developmental Disabilities, Department of Social and Health Services)
This subsection provides appropriations to fund prospective rate increases for intermediate care facilities for the mentally retarded to cover the Medicaid share of the tax levied in Engrossed Substitute House Bill No. 2967. I have vetoed this proviso to avoid potential legal entanglements with the Health Care Financing Administration. This action will not jeopardize the provisions of Engrossed Substitute House Bill No. 2967.
Section 205(2)(c), page 38, Medicaid Tax Expenditures (Developmental Disabilities, Department of Social and Health Services)
This subsection provides appropriations to fund prospective rate increases for intermediate care facilities for the mentally retarded to cover the Medicaid share of the tax levied in Engrossed Substitute House Bill No. 2967. I have vetoed this proviso to avoid potential legal entanglements with the Health Care Financing Administration. This action will not jeopardize the provisions of Engrossed Substitute House Bill No. 2967.
Section 210(10), pages 43 and 44, Personal Care Program (Long Term Care, Department of Social and Health Services)
This subsection directs the department of Social and Health Services to transfer eligible clients from the chore services program to the personal care program. The clients who are currently served within chore services receive care from family members, which is not permissible under the federally-matched personal care program. Although the subsection provides for geographic exceptions, it fails to recognize the importance of family care for those with developmental disabilities, cultural needs, and situations in which spouses provide care. Although this veto does not restore funding cuts, the Department should not be required to transfer all of these chore services clients without regard for individual circumstances.
Section 210(11), page 44, Nursing Home Study (Long Term Care, Department of Social and Health Services)
This subsection directs the Department of Social and Health Services to analyze and identify any exceptional fiscal needs of nursing facilities whose Medicaid-paying clients number greater than 90 percent, and subsequently report the findings to the legislature. This directive creates an unnecessary and burdensome workload, especially in light of the additional staffing cuts imposed by this budget.
Section 211(5), page 45, State Supplementary Income Payments (Income Assistance, Department of Social and Health Services)
This subsection reduces the state supplement of federal Supplemental Security Income payments to 71,000 blind, disabled, and aged people. I believe the legislature did not intend to reduce the supplemental benefits provided to these most vulnerable citizens. Therefore, I have directed the Department of Social and Health Services to allocate these funds according to the policy currently in existence.
Section 211(6), page 46, Public Assistance Job Training (Income Assistance, Department of Social and Health Services)
This subsection directs the Department of Social and Health Services to implement a pilot community work experience program for clients in the General Assistance-Unemployable program. I support a community work experience program that incorporates vocational rehabilitation, job preparedness services, and medical treatment. The legislature did not, however, fund the $1.5 million to implement the pilot program as the budget document implies. Consequently, I have vetoed this subsection and have directed the Department to implement a pilot community work experience program to the extent possible within available funds.
Section 222, page 58, lines 10 and 11, and, page 61, lines 15 through 18, General Fund-State Appropriation (Department of Community Development)
I have vetoed section 222, lines 10 and 11, the General Fund-State appropriation for the Department of Community Development, in order to aid the implementation of the Growth Management Act. Funding for the Growth Management Hearings Boards was reduced to such a degree that the Boards would not be implemented until February, 1993. The success of the Growth Management provisions enacted in 1990 and 1991 depends on these new Hearings Boards playing an effective role. The ability of these Boards to resolve disputes fairly and in a timely fashion will be critical to the success of growth management. The $1,036,000 freed up by this veto plus the $750,000 already included in the budget, will allow implementation of the Boards beginning May 15. The veto of section 222, lines 15 through 18, expands the spending limits for the Boards to the original level and allows the Department to spend the amount necessary to implement the Boards in May.
The reduction in funds provided to assist local government planning activities is unjustified and short-sighted. When the legislature passed growth management legislation in 1990 and again in 1991, it was clear that we were giving local governments a difficult job with a tough time line and that adequate funding was essential. I am directing the Department to use the amount that remains in the base budget, $1.5 million, for grants to local governments.
Section 222(3), page 59, Mortgage Assistance (Department of Community Development)
I have vetoed the new language which restricts the Department to spending no more than 5 percent on administration. The effect of the 5 percent restriction is to further reduce the Department's budget. The proviso language fails to recognize the cost of delivering service.
Section 222(32), page 67, Wetlands Notification and Mapping (Department of Community Development)
The veto of this section is technical in nature. The appropriation is contingent on passage of Substitute Senate Bill No. 6255, Wetlands Notification. Since Senate Bill No. 6255 did not pass, this appropriation will lapse. I have vetoed this proviso to avoid confusion.
Section 223, page 67, Human Rights Commission
This section provides $4,021,000 General Fund-State for the Human Rights Commission, $271,000 less than the General Fund-State appropriation provided in section 221, chapter 16, Laws of 1991, 1st special session. This will result in a 33 percent reduction in travel for this agency. The ability for the Commissioners to meet in different locations to address discrimination issues and for staff to investigate complaints is too severely hampered by a cut of this magnitude. I have vetoed this section to allow the agency to restore $26,000 for travel (a 20 percent reduction). I have requested that the balance of the restored appropriation, $245,000, be placed in reserve.
Section 227, page 71, Indeterminate Sentence Review Board
Reductions to personal service contracts and travel will impair the Indeterminate Sentence Review Boards ability to provide statutorily mandated service levels. The only manner for the Board to accomplish these reductions would be to eliminate one Board member. While recent actions by the Board will likely reduce the Board's size in the ensuing biennium, it is not prudent, nor cost effective, at this time.
The Board has initiated two different proposals to reduce the number of parolees returning to prison. The Board has a greater than anticipated workload in order to successfully implement these proposals. Delays in this implementation could result in additional prison populations and higher operational costs to the Department of Corrections which will far exceed the amount saved in the Board's appropriation.
Of the $229,000 restored, I have directed the Board to place $168,000 in reserve. The additional $61,000 restores the Board to the level recommended in my original supplemental budget request.
Section 229, page 72, lines 23 and 24, Women, Infants, and Children Program (Department of Health)
The supplemental General Fund-State appropriation for the Department of Health includes a reduction of $2,552,000 for the Women, Infants, and Children program. This program provides food and nutritional counseling to needy families throughout the state. The $2,552,000, combined with newly available federal funds, will result in an additional 12,300 persons per month being served. Beyond serving more clients, restoration of this cut will enable us to take immediate advantage of anticipated additional increases in federal funding and will further my goal to improve the health of Washington's children. Children lose without adequate state support for the Women, Infants, and Children program support.
In order to restore these funds, I have vetoed the supplemental appropriation. Of the $10,803,000 in additional appropriation authority, I have directed the Department of Health to place $8,251,000 in reserve and use the remaining $2,552,000 for the Women, Infants, and Children program.
Section 303, page 83, lines 14 and 15, General Fund-State Appropriation (Department of Ecology)
I have vetoed this subsection in order to restore funding to the Department of Ecology's Water Resources Program. The Water Resources Program has continued to make progress in addressing the backlog of water rights applications and in the formulation of a statewide policy for water resources administration through the Chelan Agreement. The reductions to the Department's budget would have reduced enforcement activity and crippled the Water Resources Program's ability to continue addressing the water rights application backlog. In addition, it would seriously curtail efforts in the development of a statewide water resources policy.
The veto of this subsection will increase the Department of Ecology's appropriation authority by $7,515,000. This will enable the Department to restore $785,000 to the Water Resources Program. I have directed the Department of Ecology to place the remaining $6,730,000 in reserve.
Section 303, page 83, line 18, Flood Control Assistance Account (Department of Ecology)
Section 802, page 195 lines 17 and 18, General Fund transfer to Flood Control Assistance Account (Treasurer's Transfer)
Section 910, pages 205 and 206, Flood Control Assistance Account (Department of Ecology)
These sections transfer funds for the Flood Control Assistance Program from the Flood Control Assistance Account to the General Fund. Funding for this program is transferred from the operating budget to the capital budget, with an appropriation from the State Building Construction Account. While I am supportive of providing grant dollars to local communities for flood mitigation plans and projects, $2.65 million is clearly for operating activities and should be funded from the operating budget. The proviso in section 12(9), page 70, of the capital budget precludes spending any of the appropriated funds from the State Building Construction Account on operating activities. Without funds for operating costs, the Department would not be able to provide planning grants or technical assistance to local communities, nor would the Department be able to administer the grants for flood mitigation projects which are eligible under the proviso. Without the ability to administer the grants, there would be no state oversight of the expenditure of these grant dollars.
The Department would be faced with one of two options: either redirect General Fund dollars from other programs or eliminate the Flood Control Assistance Program. Given the severity of the reductions to the Department of Ecology's budget, this program would be eliminated. Therefore, I have vetoed these sections in order to restore $4 million to the Flood Control Assistance Account and continue this important program.
Section 307, page 91, lines 19 and 20, General Fund-State Appropriation (Department of Trade and Economic Development)
I have vetoed the general Fund-State appropriation for the Department in order to address serious shortfalls created by this budget. Of the additional $3,671,000 in appropriation authority created by this veto, I have directed the Department of Trade and Economic Development to spend $810,000 on timber programs, $200,000 on tourism, and to place the remaining $2,661,000 in reserve. The restoration of $610,000 in the value-added program will allow continuation of the concentrated effort to increase value-added manufacturing capacity that is necessary as small wood products manufacturers are threatened with closure.
I have also directed expenditure of $200,000 for restoration of full funding for the Timber Team Office. The Timber Team serves an important function as the central coordination point for diverse state programs which assist timber dependent communities. In addition, the Timber Team coordinates this administration's position and represents the state's interest in federal timber supply and endangered species issues. Almost 40 percent of the Timber Team budget represents pass-through funding required to replace a small portion of federal cutbacks in dislocated worker programs. It is unacceptable to eliminate the Timber Team six months before the close of the biennium. Strategically, this would put the state in a poor position to respond to federal actions that critically affect the state and would hamper coordination efforts vital to good service delivery.
Finally, I have directed the expenditure of $200,000 to partially offset reductions to the Department's tourism program. At a time when many of our communities are struggling to strengthen and diversify their economies, adequate support for tourism development is a practical requirement. The Department will use these additional resources to bolster cooperative marketing and regional tourism assessments which are the cornerstones of its strategic plan for tourism development.
Section 307(9), pages 93 and 94, Business Network Grants (Department of Trade and Economic Development)
While I believe that business network grants that build capacity are an excellent way to provide the advantages of larger scale timber firms to many small manufacturing concerns, I have vetoed the language that requires the Department of Trade and Economic Development to spend $500,000 to that end. The language does not give the Department the flexibility necessary to determine the viability of networks for value-added manufacturing given Washington's forest products manufacturing industry makeup. However, I have asked the Department of Trade and Economic Development to intensify efforts to pursue business network grants as an important element for promoting value-added manufacturing. I have directed the Department to spend the majority of available grant funds on business networks, if feasible.
Section 311, page 96, lines 3 and 4, Shellfish Litigation (Department of Fisheries)
As discussed previously, I have vetoed the General Fund-State appropriation revision in the Department of Fisheries in order to restore shellfish litigation funds. This veto has the effect of adding $4,771,000 in appropriation authority. I have directed the Department to place $3,856,000 of this amount in reserve, and use $450,000 to cover the costs of shellfish litigation. The remaining $465,000 will be used to cover additional litigation costs and the cost of the mediation process begun by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
Section 610(3)(a), page 171, Financial Aid and Grant Program (Higher Education Coordinating Board)
This subsection caps the state need grant award to students of private schools. The cap is equal to the amount of an award receivable by a student of a state research university. However, the cap applies only to the grants from the increment of $1,430,000 available for need grant awards due to the 1993 tuition increase.
I have vetoed this subsection because it creates an inequity of financial aid benefits between private school students receiving need grants from the state need grant base budget and students receiving need grant from the 1993 need grant increment due to the tuition increase. In addition, a cap on such a small portion of the state need grant unnecessarily complicates the administration of the state financial aid program. This veto frees up $127,000 of appropriation, which will be placed in reserve.
Section 704, pages 178-179, Governor's Emergency Fund
This section reduces the appropriation for emergency uses to $862,000 for the biennium. The $1.5 million appropriation provided in the original budget was $500,000 below the $2 million initially appropriated for emergency purposes in each of several previous biennial budgets. This reduction, combined with allocations already made, would leave an Emergency Fund balance of $140,400, with 15 months remaining in the biennium. The inability to respond to emergency situations (like fires, floods, windstorm damage, major equipment failure, etc.) imposed by this reduction is unacceptable. This veto restores $638,000 in appropriation authority to the Emergency Fund. This veto also restores the 2.5 percent allotment reduction to preserve an Emergency Fund balance at $778,400. This is still a small balance with so much of the biennium still before us.
Section 802, page 194, lines 15, 16 and 17 (Treasurer's Transfers)
Section 802, page 195, lines 19 and 20 (Treasurer's Transfers)
Section 909, page 204 and 205, Water Quality Account (Department of Ecology)
These sections reduce the transfer of General Fund dollars to the Water Quality Account by $12,753,000. Washington state is facing increasing threats to one of its most vital resources, the state's waters. If we are to continue to make progress toward protecting Washington's surface and ground waters, it is essential that a consistent and reliable funding level be available. The Water Quality Account is a primary source of funding for local governments in addressing water quality issues. Solutions to tough pollution problems require planning, prevention, and intervention strategies, which may take years to implement. In order to dedicate sizable portions of their own resources to these strategies, local governments need to know that state funding will continue at levels that will enable them to achieve mandated state and federal water pollution requirements. Therefore, I have vetoed these sections in order to restore the statutory funding level to the Water Quality Account.
Section 903, page 196, Minimization of the Essential Requirements Level for the 1993-95 Biennium
Section 903 requires agencies (with the exception of the Department of Corrections) to make 1991-93 FTE reductions permanent, rather than assuming the positions will be funded in 1993-95. The purpose of this section is to minimize the growth of the state's budget base for the 1993-95 Biennium. While it is likely that I will consider this requirement when my 1993-95 budget is developed, I want to preserve the Governor's flexibility for the construction of its budget.
Furthermore, from a practical standpoint, it appears that this section was constructed in isolation without knowledge of the program implications of denying agencies the ability to use temporary or deferred hiring to achieve their FTE budget reductions. There may be some programs in state government that cannot provide an appropriate level of service if held to this requirement.
Section 906, pages 197 and 198, Savings Recovery Account
This amendatory section increases the amounts to be withheld from agency appropriations deposited in the Savings Recovery Account by $5,088,000 and it includes "savings" from the Department of Information Services' rate reductions resulting from staff reductions as a source of Savings Recovery Account revenue. I have vetoed this section for two reasons. First, all but $950,000 of the $5,088,000 in increased revenue to the account would be drawn from savings of Efficiency Commission, Brainstorm, and Teamwork Incentive Program projects presently retained by agencies as a partial incentive to participate in such projects. The incentives and benefits to the participating agencies for the extra effort involved in the projects are stripped away by this action with the probable consequence that these worthwhile efforts will disappear. Second, staff reductions in the Department of Information Services do not create rate reductions. These proprietary positions are used to provide customers needed computing related services for which the customers are then billed. Vacated positions provide no service which can be billed, thus there can be no savings.
For these reasons, I have vetoed sections 111 (page 5, line 8), 117 (page 8, lines 20-23), 124 (page 10, line 26), 125, 127, 128, 129(3), 136(5), 141(6), 142(3), 154, 201 (page 26, lines 6 and 7), 203(3), 205(1)(g), 205(2)(c), 210(10), 210(11), 211(5), 211(6), 222 (page 58, lines 10 and 11), 222 (page 61, lines 15 through 18), 222(3), 222(32), 223, 227, 229 (page 72, lines 23 and 24), 303 (page 83, lines 14 and 15), 303 (page 83, line 18), 307 (page 91, lines 19 and 20), 307(9), 311 (page 96, lines 3 and 4), 610(3)(a), 704, 802 (page 194, lines 15-17), 802 (page 195, lines 17, 18, 19 and 20), 903, 906, 909 and 910, of Engrossed Substitute House Bill No. 2470.
With the exception of sections 111 (page 5, line 8), 117 (page 8, lines 20-23), 124 (page 10, line 26), 125, 127, 128, 129(3), 136(5), 141(6), 142(3), 154, 201 (page 26, lines 6 and 7), 203(3), 205(1)(g), 205(2)(c), 210(10), 210(11), 211(5), 211(6), 222 (page 58, lines 10 and 11), 222 (page 61, lines 15 through 18), 222(3), 222(32), 223, 227, 229 (page 72, lines 23 and 24), 303 (page 83, lines 14 and 15), 303 (page 83, line 18), 307 (page 91, lines 19 and 20), 307(9), 311 (page 96, lines 3 and 4), 610(3)(a), 704, 802 (page 194, lines 15-17), 802 (page 195, lines 17, 18, 19 and 20), 903, 906, 909 and 910, Engrossed Substitute House Bill No. 2470 is approved."
