voluntary placement, and child support programs, the department may transfer
state moneys that are provided solely for a specified purpose after approval by

and $127,000 of the general fund‑-federal appropriation are provided
solely for health care benefits for home care workers with family incomes below
200 percent of the federal poverty level who are employed through state
contracts for twenty hours per week or more. Premium payments for individual
provider home care workers shall be made only to the subsidized basic health
plan. Home care agencies may obtain coverage either through the basic health
plan or through an alternative plan with substantially equivalent benefits.
(b) $3,100,000 of the general fund‑-state
appropriation for fiscal year 2000, $4,650,000 of the general fund‑-state
appropriation for fiscal year 2001, and $8,250,000 of the general fund‑-federal
appropriation are provided solely to increase services and supports for people
with developmental disabilities. These funds shall be expended in accordance
with priorities established by the stakeholder advisory group established in

support, or other direct services; (ii) the services and supports must be
designed and implemented such that the cost of continuing them in the 2001-03
biennium does not exceed $19.2 million, of which no more than $9.3 million is
from state funds; and (iii) strong consideration shall be given to the need for
increased wages for direct care workers in contracted residential programs.
(c) $413,000 of the general fund‑-state
appropriation for fiscal year 2000, $1,172,000 of the general fund‑-state
appropriation for fiscal year 2001, and $694,000 of the general fund‑-federal
appropriation are provided solely for employment, or other day activities and

appropriation for fiscal year 2001, and $4,992,000 of the general fund‑-federal
appropriation are provided solely for alternatives for persons who would
otherwise be at substantial risk of state psychiatric hospitalization. The
department shall use these funds and other resources appropriated in this
section and in section 205(1) of this act to assure that the average number of
persons with developmental disabilities in the state hospitals does not exceed
sixty-six per day during the first biennial quarter; sixty per day during the
second; fifty-four per day during the third; and forty-eight per day during the
final quarter of the 1999-2001 biennium. The developmental disabilities

appropriation are provided solely to improve services for persons with
developmental disabilities who would otherwise be at risk of needing

crisis response system managed by regional support networks, improve crisis
prevention and stabilization services through the developmental disabilities
community services system, and expand community residential capacity for
persons with developmental disabilities who are ready for discharge from state
psychiatric hospitals. Funding for community residential capacity is
sufficient to move a biennium total of 48 patients out of the state hospitals
at a reasonable pace by June 30, 2001. The department shall manage the
intensity of services provided so that the average cost per day does not exceed
$300 per person placed in this expanded community residential capacity. The
department shall report to the appropriate committees of the legislature
progress towards implementing this subsection after each calendar quarter. The
legislature finds that, in addition to the appropriations in this subsection
for improvements in services to persons with developmental disabilities who are
committed to the custody of the secretary under chapter 71.05 RCW, it is
necessary to study long-term treatment alternatives and their legal, fiscal,
and policy implications. Therefore, the department shall provide a report to
the ways and means committee of the senate and the appropriations committee of
the house of representatives by December 1, 2000, containing options and
recommendations for secure treatment programs. The report shall identify
various treatment models that could be implemented and various types and
locations of secure facilities, both state-owned and leased, in which programs
could be sited, together with the department's recommendations. The report
shall evaluate the potential for siting such programs on the grounds of
existing state residential habilitation centers. The report shall also include
analysis of advantages and disadvantages associated with contracting for some
or all of the new program options identified. The report shall evaluate the
options based on short-term and long-term costs, client and community security,
efficiency of coordination with other service delivery systems, and how they
address specific legal issues. In developing this report, the department shall
invite participation by representatives of the Washington protection and
advocacy system (WPAS), and shall include in the report WPAS' position on
options and recommendations submitted by the department and any additional
recommendations made by WPAS. The legislature recognizes a need to improve
long-term services provided to individuals with developmental disabilities who
are undergoing involuntary treatment under chapter 71.05 RCW. The legislature

appropriation are provided solely to increase compensation for individual and
agency home care workers. Payments to individual providers are to be increased
from $6.18 per hour to $6.68 per hour on July 1, 1999, and to $7.18 per hour on
July 1, 2000. Payments to agency providers are to be increased to $11.97 per
hour on July 1, 1999, and to $12.62 per hour on July 1, 2000. All but 14 cents
per hour of the July 1, 1999, increase to agency providers, and all but 15

also include the funds needed for the employer share of unemployment and social
security taxes on the amount of the increase.

and wage progression shall be developed and reported quarterly to
appropriate fiscal and policy committees of the legislature for families
who leave assistance, measured after 12 months, 24 months, and 36 months. An
increased attention to job retention and wage progression is necessary to
emphasize the legislature's goal that the WorkFirst program succeed in helping
recipients gain long-term economic independence and not cycle on and off public
assistance. The wage progression measure shall report the median percentage
increase in quarterly earnings and hourly wage after 12 months, 24 months, and
36 months. The wage progression report shall also report the percent with
earnings above one hundred percent and two hundred percent of the federal
poverty level. The report shall compare former WorkFirst participants with
similar workers who did not participate in WorkFirst. The department shall
also report percentage of families who have returned to temporary assistance
for needy families after 12 months, 24 months, and 36 months.
(b) Develop informational materials that
educate families about the difference between cash assistance and work support
benefits. These materials must explain, among other facts, that the benefits
are designed to support their employment, that there are no time limits on the
receipts of work support benefits, and that immigration or residency status
will not be affected by the receipt of benefits. These materials shall be
posted in all community service offices and distributed to families. Materials
must be available in multiple languages. When a family leaves the temporary
assistance for needy families program, receives cash diversion assistance, or
withdraws a temporary assistance for needy families application, the department
of social and health services shall educate them about the difference between
cash assistance and work support benefits and offering them the opportunity to
begin or to continue receiving work support benefits, so long as they are

"other." The report shall identify barriers to informing families
about work support benefits and describe existing and future actions to

appropriate committees of the legislature, by December 1, ((1999)) 2000,
how the new federal child support incentive system can be used to maximize
federal incentive payments and to support the greatest achievement of WorkFirst
program goals. In the event that the department earns federal child support
incentive payments in excess of amounts budgeted, the department shall use
one-half of those additional funds to offset general fund‑-state
allotments and one-half of those additional funds to improve child support
services. The department shall also work with the Washington state

social security numbers on court documents needed by the child support
enforcement system while ensuring the reliability of this information without
significantly increasing the cost to administer the child support system. The
department shall report its recommendations for protecting the confidentiality
of social security numbers to appropriate committees of the legislature by
December 1, 2000.
(e) Provide up to $500,000 of the general

study of rate setting methods and policy for subsidized child care, the best
method for coordinating and consolidating child care and early education
programs currently funded by state government, and for a review of the various
state programs for low-income families with children. The child care rate
study shall analyze the effects of rate setting policy on the affordability and
quality of the overall child care market. The child care and early education
program study shall evaluate how current programs may be coordinated and
consolidated to provide the most efficient level of administration, grant
funding, and increased accessibility by families who are served by these
programs. The study of state programs for low-income families shall compare
and contrast eligibility and access to these programs and identify ways to
coordinate or consolidate these programs to reduce administrative costs and
improve access. The office shall submit a report to the department of social
and health services and the appropriate committees of the legislature by

stakeholders and recipients of public assistance to establish basic customer
service performance measures and goals. The customer service measures and
goals will seek to make support for working families a priority. Customer
service measures and goals may include, but are not limited to: Hours of
operation that allow working families to get services without missing work,
reduced wait times, systems for answering and returning phone calls in a timely
manner, access to benefits that support work, access to job training and
education, and, access to services for families with limited literacy or
English skills, and families with special needs. The department shall report
to the legislature by January 2001 the establishment of customer service
measures and goals, and the departmental actions to assure the goals are being

economic independence for recipient.

such time as a federal family planning waiver is granted that will cover these
services.
(k) Ensure that funds provided in this
subsection to implement policies that disregard or exempt a portion of
recipients' income are designed to achieve stated WorkFirst program goals and
outcomes. Income disregards are effective incentives to help WorkFirst
families move towards economic independence. Income disregard policy shall not
discriminate based on who the specific employer is.
(2) (($50,860,000)) $43,408,000
of the general fund‑-state appropriation for fiscal year 2000 and (($50,825,000))
$43,386,000 of the general fund‑-state appropriation for fiscal
year 2001 are provided solely for cash assistance and other services to
recipients in the general assistance‑-unemployable program. Within these
amounts, the department may expend funds for services that assist recipients to
reduce their dependence on public assistance, provided that expenditures for
these services and cash assistance do not exceed funds provided. The
department shall, by July 1, 2000, begin using federal funds provided in
subsection (1) of this section, as allowed by federal rules, for the costs of
providing income assistance to children with court-appointed guardians or
court-appointed custodians.

available in this section, the department shall provide progress reports on the
use of such contracting to the fiscal committees of the legislature by January
1, 2001. Each of these reports shall describe the number of current contracts
for temporary assistance for needy families (TANF) or WorkFirst services that
the department has with community social service providers and a description of
the services being provided through each of those contracts.
(5) The legislature finds that, since the
passage of the federal personal responsibility and work opportunity act in
1997, Washington's public assistance population has declined dramatically, and
that the currently appropriated level for the temporary assistance for needy
families program is sufficient for the 1999-01 biennium. The legislature
further finds that federal funding for the temporary assistance for needy
families program may decrease after the current five-year block grant has
expired. The legislature declares that at least $60,000,000 of the year-end
balance in the federal TANF grant shall be held in reserve by the office of
financial management at the close of the 1999-01 biennium.

intergovernmental transfer to the state treasurer, for deposit into the health
services account, equal to at least ((82)) 87 percent of the total
supplemental payment amounts received during the 1999-01 fiscal biennium;
and (b) a contractual commitment by the participating districts to not allow
expenditures covered by the supplemental payments to be used for medicaid
nursing home rate-setting. The participating districts shall retain no more

(14) From funds provided in this section,
the department shall develop disease state management and therapeutic
substitution programs which will substantially maintain or enhance the quality
of the drug benefit for medical assistance recipients, while controlling
overall health care costs. In designing the disease state management programs,
the department shall research programs which have proven effective with similar
populations in other states, and shall then work with concerned provider and
consumer groups to adapt those strategies to Washington's service delivery
system. The department shall work with its drug utilization and education
council to develop a therapeutic substitution program for at least two classes
of drugs. Under the therapeutic substitution program, the council shall
analyze pharmacoeconomic research on the costs and benefits of all drugs within
the class, and identify the most cost-effective drug or drugs within the class
for placement on the formulary. Other drugs within the class shall be
preauthorized when clinically indicated under criteria established by the

legislature by December 1, 2000, prior to implementing its proposed strategies.
(15) $14,848,000 of the health services
account appropriation for fiscal year 2001 and $15,269,000 of the general
fund--federal appropriation are provided solely for additional disproportionate
share hospital payments to public hospital districts. Such additional payments
shall not be made prior to federal approval of a revision in the medicaid
payment methodology for state teaching hospitals, and shall not exceed the
increase in medicaid payments which results from that change. The payments
shall further be conditioned upon a contractual commitment by the participating
public hospital districts to make an intergovernmental transfer to the health
services account equal to at least 77 percent of the additional
disproportionate share payment. The participating districts shall retain no
more than $7,000,000 of the additional disproportionate share payment. At

(16)(a) $49,000 of the general fund‑-state
appropriation for fiscal year 2001 and $49,000 of the general fund‑-federal
appropriation for fiscal year 2001 are provided solely for the medical
assistance administration and the health care authority to jointly conduct a
state-wide study to:
(i) Determine payment sources and rates paid
for primary health care providers performing outpatient primary care services
and primary care in hospital emergency rooms for the state's medical assistance
programs, including healthy options, and the basic health plan. To determine
payment sources and rates paid, the agencies may seek information in relation
to such factors as:
(A) The rates paid to primary care providers
for their medical assistance programs, including healthy options, and basic
health plan contracts; and
(B) How these rates compare with nonpublic
pay clients for the same services.
The agencies are authorized to attain this
information from health plans or providers. The agencies shall maintain the
confidentiality of data collected for the purpose of the study;
(ii) Determine which primary care providers
serve a relatively high number of low-income clients, and how that affects
their medical practice. For purposes of the study, "primary care providers"
includes pediatricians, family practitioners, general practitioners,
internists, physician assistants, and advanced registered nurse practitioners;
and (iii) Develop proposals to support these providers' medical
practices. The agencies must determine what constitutes a relatively high
percentage of low-income clients for individual primary care providers who
contract for medical assistance administration programs, including healthy
options, and the basic health plan, and recommend whether and at what point
this disproportionately high percentage should result in additional
compensation to the primary care provider. The agencies shall recommend a
method to calculate a payment adjustment designed to help support medical
practices, according to the study's findings.
(b) In conducting the study, the agencies
shall determine which regions of the state to include in the study, based on
factors the agencies determine will provide the most representative data
state-wide. The agencies shall also consult with interested parties, including
any organization or agency affected by this subsection, throughout the course
of the study.
(c) The agencies shall report to the
legislature by December 1, 2000, with the results of the primary health care
provider study. The report shall include recommendations on: (i) What
constitutes a disproportionately high percentage of low-income clients; (ii)
possible payment adjustments for these providers; (iii) methods to implement
such a rate adjustment; and (iv) what such a payment adjusted program will
cost.
(17) From funds appropriated in this
section, the medical assistance program shall assist the Washington state
institute for public policy with the assessment of options for expanding
medicaid eligibility required in section 607 of this 2000 act. Such assistance
shall include analysis of medicaid enrollment and expenditure data needed for
enrollment and cost projections; information and advice on state and federal
medicaid requirements; and liaison with state and federal officials in other
states undertaking similar expansions.
(18) $290,000 of the general fund‑-state
appropriation for fiscal year 2001 is provided solely for implementation of the
asset exemption provisions of House Bill No. 2686. If these provisions are not

services shall be implemented only if those reductions can be justified by
reduced workload or through reorganization or other efficiencies that do not
result in a risk of failing to meet federal or state certification or licensing
standards. In achieving the level of savings assumed in this subsection, the

fund--state appropriation and $50,000 of fiscal year 2001 general fund--state

The appropriations in this section are subject
to the following conditions and limitations:
(1) Funding for special education programs
is provided on an excess cost basis, pursuant to RCW 28A.150.390. School
districts shall ensure, to the greatest extent possible, that special education
students receive their appropriate share of the general apportionment
allocation accruing through sections 502 and 504 of this act. To the extent a
school district cannot provide an appropriate education for special education
students under chapter 28A.155 RCW through the general apportionment
allocation, it shall provide services through the special education allocation
funded in this section.
(2) Each general fund‑-state
fiscal year appropriation includes such funds as are necessary to complete the
school year ending in the fiscal year and for prior fiscal year adjustments.
(((2))) (3) The superintendent of
public instruction shall distribute state funds to school districts based on
two categories: The optional birth through age two program for special
education eligible developmentally delayed infants and toddlers, and the
mandatory special education program for special education eligible students
ages three to twenty-one. A "special education eligible student"
means a student receiving specially designed instruction in accordance with a
properly formulated individualized education program.
(((3))) (4) For the 1999-00 and
2000-01 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, multiplied by the district's average basic education allocation per
full-time equivalent student, multiplied by 1.15; and
(b) A district's annual average full-time
equivalent basic education enrollment multiplied by the funded enrollment
percent determined pursuant to subsection (((4)(c))) (5)(c) of
this section, multiplied by the district's average basic education allocation
per full-time equivalent student multiplied by 0.9309.
(((4))) (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 and shall not include enhancements,
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" means the
district's resident special education annual average enrollment including those
students counted under the special education demonstration projects, excluding
the birth through age two enrollment, as a percent of the district's annual
average full-time equivalent basic education enrollment. For the 1999-00 and
the 2000-01 school years, each district's funded enrollment percent shall be
the lesser of the district's actual enrollment percent for the school year for
which the allocation is being determined or 12.7 percent.
(((5))) (6) At the request of any
interdistrict cooperative of at least 15 districts in which all excess cost
services for special education students of the districts are provided by the
cooperative, the maximum enrollment percent shall be 12.7, and shall be
calculated in the aggregate rather than individual district units. For
purposes of this subsection, the average basic education allocation per
full-time equivalent student shall be calculated in the aggregate rather than
individual district units.
(((6))) (7) A maximum of
$12,000,000 of the general fund‑-state appropriation for fiscal year 2000
and a maximum of $12,000,000 of the general fund‑-state appropriation for
fiscal year 2001 are provided as safety net funding for districts with
demonstrated needs for state special education funding beyond the amounts
provided in subsection (((3))) (4) of this section. Safety net
funding shall be awarded by the state safety net oversight committee.
(a) The safety net oversight committee shall
first consider the needs of districts adversely affected by the 1995 change in
the special education funding formula. Awards shall be based on the amount
required to maintain the 1994-95 state special education excess cost allocation
to the school district in aggregate or on a dollar per funded student basis.
(b) The committee shall then consider unusual
needs of districts due to a special education population which differs
significantly from the assumptions of the state funding formula. Awards shall
be made to districts that convincingly demonstrate need due to the
concentration and/or severity of disabilities in the district. Differences in
program costs attributable to district philosophy or service delivery style are
not a basis for safety net awards.
(c) The maximum allowable indirect cost for
calculating safety net eligibility may not exceed the federal restricted
indirect cost rate for the district plus one percent.
(d) Safety net awards shall be adjusted based
on the percent of potential medicaid eligible students billed as calculated by
the superintendent in accordance with Substitute Senate Bill No. 5626 (medicaid
payments to schools).
(e) Safety net awards must be adjusted for any
audit findings or exceptions related to special education funding.
(f) The superintendent may expend up to
$100,000 per year of the amounts provided in this subsection to provide staff
assistance to the committee in analyzing applications for safety net funds
received by the committee.
(((7))) (8) The superintendent of
public instruction may adopt such rules and procedures as are necessary to
administer the special education funding and safety net award process. Prior
to revising any standards, procedures, or rules, the superintendent shall
consult with the office of financial management and the fiscal committees of
the legislature.
(((8))) (9) The safety net
