The appropriations in this section are subject to the following conditions and limitations:
(1) The general fund‑‑state appropriation includes such funds as are necessary for the remaining months of the 1994‑95 school year.
(2) In recognition of the need for increased flexibility at the local district level to facilitate the provision of appropriate education to children with disabilities, and the need for substantive educational reform for a significant portion of the school population, the funding formula for special education is modified. These changes result from a 1994 study and recommendations by the institute for public policy and the legislative budget committee, aided by the office of the superintendent of public instruction and the statewide task force for the development of special education funding alternatives. The new formula is for allocation purposes only and is not intended to prescribe or imply any particular pattern of special education service delivery other than that contained in a properly formulated locally determined individualized education program.
(3) The superintendent of public instruction shall distribute state funds to school districts based on two categories, the mandatory special education program for special education students ages three to twenty-one and the optional birth through age two program for developmentally delayed infants and toddlers. The superintendent shall review current state eligibility criteria for the fourteen special education categories and consider changes which would reduce assessment time and administrative costs associated with the special education program.
(4) For the 1995-96 and 1996-97 school years, the superintendent shall distribute state funds to each district based on the sum of:
(a) A district's annual average headcount enrollment of developmentally delayed infants and toddlers ages birth through two, times the district's average basic education allocation per full-time equivalent student, times 1.15; and
(b) A district's annual average full-time equivalent basic education enrollment times the enrollment percent, times the district's average basic education allocation per full-time equivalent student times 0.943.
(5) The definitions in this subsection apply throughout this section.
(a) "Average basic education allocation per full-time equivalent student" for a district shall be based on the staffing ratios required by RCW 28A.150.260 (i.e., 49/1000 certificated instructional staff in grades K-3, and 46/1000 in grades 4-12), including the part-time health benefit ratio for the special education program, and shall not include enhancements for K-3, secondary vocational education, or small schools.
(b) "Annual average full-time equivalent basic education enrollment" means the resident enrollment including students enrolled through choice (RCW 28A.225.225) and students from nonhigh districts (RCW 28A.225.210) and excluding students residing in another district enrolled as part of an interdistrict cooperative program (RCW 28A.225.250).
(c) "Enrollment percent" shall mean the district's resident special education annual average enrollment, excluding the birth through age two enrollment, as a percent of the district's annual average full-time equivalent basic education enrollment. For the 1995-96 and the 1996-97 school years, each district's enrollment percent shall be:
(i) For districts whose enrollment percent for 1994-95 was at or below 12.7 percent, the lesser of the district's actual enrollment percent for the school year for which the allocation is being determined or 12.7 percent.
(ii) For districts whose enrollment percent for 1994-95 was above 12.7 percent, the lesser of:
(A) The district's actual enrollment percent for the school year for which the special education allocation is being determined; or
(B) The district's actual enrollment percent for the school year immediately prior to the school year for which the special education allocation is being determined; or
(C) For 1995-96, the 1994-95 enrollment percent reduced by 25 percent of the difference between the district's 1994-95 enrollment percent and 12.7. For 1996-97, the 1994-95 enrollment percent reduced by 50 percent of the difference between the district's 1994-95 enrollment percent and 12.7.
(6) A minimum of $4.5 million of the general fund‑-federal appropriation shall be expended for safety net funding to meet the extraordinary needs of individual special education students.
(7) From the general fund‑-state appropriation, $14,600,000 is provided for the 1995-96 school year, and $22,500,000 for the 1996-97 school year, for safety net purposes for districts with demonstrable funding needs for special education beyond the combined amounts provided in subsection (4) of this section. By July 1, 1995, the superintendent of public instruction shall, by rule, establish procedures and standards by which such determinations shall be made at each educational service district. The superintendent shall distribute safety net moneys to educational service districts and establish procedures for regional committees to consider district applications and make allocations, without deduction, based on the procedures and standards established by the superintendent subject to the following conditions and limitations:
(a) For a school district requesting state safety net funds due to special characteristics of the district and costs of providing services which differ significantly from the assumptions contained in the funding formula, the procedures and standards shall permit relief only if a district can demonstrate at a minimum that:

(ii) The district is making a reasonable effort to provide appropriate program services for special education students utilizing state funds generated by the apportionment and special education funding formulas;
(iii) The district's programs are operated in a reasonably efficient manner and that the district has adopted a plan of action to contain or eliminate any unnecessary, duplicative, or inefficient practices.
(iv) Indirect costs charged to this program do not exceed the allowable percent for the federal special education program;
(v) Any available federal funds are insufficient to address the additional needs; and
(vi) The costs of any supplemental contracts are not charged to this program for purposes of making these determinations.
(b) For districts requesting safety net funds due to federal maintenance of effort requirements, the procedures and standards shall permit relief only if a district can demonstrate at a minimum that:
(i) The district is making a reasonable effort to provide appropriate program services for special education students utilizing state funds generated by the apportionment and special education funding formulas;
(ii) Calculations made in accordance with subsection (8) of this section with respect to state fund allocations justify a need for additional funds for compliance with federal maintenance of effort requirements.
(8)(a) For purposes of making safety net determinations pursuant to subsection (7) of this section, the superintendent shall make available to each school district, from available data, prior to June 1st of each year:
(i) The district's 1994-95 enrollment percent;
(ii) For districts with a 1994-95 enrollment percent over 12.7 percent, the maximum 1995-96 enrollment percent, and prior to 1996-97 the maximum 1996-97 enrollment percent;

This process may utilize the allocations generated pursuant to subsection (5) of this section, each district's 1994-95 estimated basic education backout percent for the 1994-95 school year, and state compensation increases for 1995-96.
(b) The superintendent, in consultation with the state auditor, shall take all necessary steps to successfully transition to the new formula and minimize paperwork at the district level associated with maintenance of effort calculations. The superintendent shall develop such rules and procedures as are necessary to implement this process for the 1995-96 school year, and may use the same process for the 1996-97 school year if found necessary for federal maintenance of effort calculations.

Sec. 918. RCW 2.68.020 and 1994 c 8 s 1 are each amended to read as follows:
There is created an account in the custody of the state treasurer to be known as the judicial information system account. The office of the administrator for the courts shall maintain and administer the account, in which shall be deposited all moneys received from in-state noncourt users and any out-of-state users of the judicial information system and moneys as specified in RCW 2.68.040 for the purposes of providing judicial information system access to noncourt users and providing an adequate level of automated services to the judiciary. The legislature shall appropriate the funds in the account for the purposes of the judicial information system or, during the 1995-97 fiscal biennium, for other criminal justice information purposes. The account shall be used for the acquisition of equipment, software, supplies, services, and other costs incidental to the acquisition, development, operation, and administration of information services, telecommunications, systems, software, supplies, and equipment, including the payment of principal and interest on items paid in installments.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 919. FISCAL YEAR EXPENDITURE LIMITS. An agency's total general fund‑-state expenditures by fiscal year shall not exceed the amount approved by the office of financial management in expenditure plans authorized under RCW 43.88.070 and 43.88.110. The office of financial management shall ensure that these plans conform with fiscal year expenditures in the office of financial management budget database as updated to reflect legislative appropriations and governor's vetoes. In no case shall the state-wide total of agency allotments exceed the Initiative 601 expenditure limit under RCW 43.135.025. The general fund‑-state allotments of appropriations for agencies headed by elected officials shall match the general fund‑-state fiscal year splits contained in the updated budget database.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 920. 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. 921. 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.
