    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.

    (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.

    (4) For the 2001-02 and 2002-03 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 (5)(c) of this section, multiplied by the district's average basic education allocation per full-time equivalent student multiplied by 0.9309.

    (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 2001-02 and the 2002-03 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.

    (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.

    (7) A maximum of $12,000,000 of the general fund‑-state appropriation for fiscal year 2002 and a maximum of $12,000,000 of the general fund‑-state appropriation for fiscal year 2003 are provided as safety net funding for districts with demonstrated needs for state special education funding beyond the amounts provided in subsection (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 RCW 74.09.5255 and 74.09.5256.

    (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.

    (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.

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

    (a) Staff of the office of superintendent of public instruction;

    (b) Staff of the office of the state auditor;

    (c) Staff of the office of the financial management; and

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

    (10) To the extent necessary, $5,500,000 of the general fund‑-federal appropriation shall be expended for safety net funding to meet the extraordinary needs of one or more individual special education students.  If safety net awards to meet the extraordinary needs of one or more individual special education students exceed $5,500,000 of the general fund‑-federal appropriation, the superintendent shall expend all available federal discretionary funds necessary to meet this need.  General fund‑-state funds shall not be expended for this purpose.

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

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

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

    (14) A maximum of $1,200,000 of the general fund--federal appropriation may be expended by the superintendent for projects related to use of inclusion strategies by school districts for provision of special education services.  The superintendent shall prepare an information database on laws, best practices, examples of programs, and recommended resources.  The information may be disseminated in a variety of ways, including workshops and other staff development activities.

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

"Information technology portfolio" means a strategic management approach in which the relationships between agency missions and information technology investments can be seen and understood, such that:  Technology efforts are linked to agency objectives and business plans; the impact of new investments on existing infrastructure and business functions are assessed and understood before implementation; and agency activities are consistent with the development of an integrated, nonduplicative statewide infrastructure.

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

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

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

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

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

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

    (3) Each project will be planned and designed to take optimal advantage of Internet technologies and protocols.  Agencies shall ensure that the project is in compliance with the architecture, infrastructure, principles, policies, and standards of digital government as maintained by the information services board.

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

    (5) The agency shall produce a comprehensive management plan for each project.  The plan or plans shall address all factors critical to successful completion of each project.  The plan(s) shall include, but is not limited to, the following elements:  A description of the problem or opportunity that the information technology project is intended to address; a statement of project objectives and assumptions; a definition and schedule of phases, tasks, and activities to be accomplished; and the estimated cost of each phase.  The planning for the phased approach shall be such that the business case justification for a project needs to demonstrate how the project recovers cost or adds measurable value or positive cost benefit to the agency's business functions within each development cycle.

    (6) The agency shall produce quality assurance plans for information technology projects.  Consistent with the direction of the information services board and the published policies and guidelines of the department of information services, the quality assurance plan shall address all factors critical to successful completion of the project and successful integration with the agency and state information technology infrastructure.  At a minimum, quality assurance plans shall provide time and budget benchmarks against which project progress can be measured, a specification of quality assurance responsibilities, and a statement of reporting requirements.  The quality assurance plans shall set out the functionality requirements for each phase of a project.

    (7) A copy of each feasibility study, project management plan, and quality assurance plan shall be provided to the department of information services, the office of financial management, and legislative fiscal committees.  The plans and studies shall demonstrate a sound business case that justifies the investment of taxpayer funds on any new project, an assessment of the impact of the proposed system on the existing information technology  infrastructure, the disciplined use of preventative measures to mitigate risk, and the leveraging of private-sector expertise as needed.  Authority to expend any funds for individual information systems projects is conditioned on the approval of the relevant feasibility study, project management plan, and quality assurance plan by the department of information services and the office of financial management.

    (8) Quality assurance status reports shall be submitted to the department of information services, the office of financial management, and legislative fiscal committees at intervals specified in the project's quality assurance plan.

 

    NEW SECTION.  Sec. 903.  PROGRAM COST SHIFTS.  Any program costs in this act that are shifted to the general fund from another fund or account require an adjustment to the expenditure limit under RCW 43.135.035(5).

    NEW SECTION.  Sec. 905.  EMERGENCY FUND ALLOCATIONS.  Whenever allocations are made from the governor's emergency fund appropriation to an agency that is financed in whole or in part by other than general fund moneys, the director of financial management may direct the repayment of such allocated amount to the general fund from any balance in the fund or funds which finance the agency.  No appropriation shall be necessary to effect such repayment.

 

    NEW SECTION.  Sec. 906.  STATUTORY APPROPRIATIONS.  In addition to the amounts appropriated in this act for revenues for distribution, state contributions to the law enforcement officers' and fire fighters' retirement system, and bond retirement and interest including ongoing bond registration and transfer charges, transfers, interest on registered warrants, and certificates of indebtedness, there is also appropriated such further amounts as may be required or available for these purposes under any statutory formula or under chapters 39.94 and 39.96 RCW or any proper bond covenant made under law.

    (1) There is created in the state treasury a fund known as the "securities regulation fund" that shall consist of thirteen percent of all moneys received by the division of securities of the department of financial institutions.  Except under subsection (2) of this section, expenditures from the account may be used only for the purchase of supplies and necessary equipment and the payment of salaries, wages, utilities, and other incidental costs required for the regulation of securities, franchises, business opportunities, commodities, and other similar areas regulated by the division.  Moneys in the account may be spent only after appropriation.

    (2) Up to two million dollars may be transferred to the digital government revolving account during the period between July 1, 2001, and December 31, 2001.

 

    NEW SECTION.  Sec. 909.  As a management tool to reduce costs and make more effective use of resources, while improving employee productivity and morale, agencies may offer voluntary separation and/or downshifting incentives and options according to procedures and guidelines established by the department of personnel and the department of retirement systems in consultation with the office of financial management.  The options may include, but are not limited to, financial incentives for:  Voluntary resignation and retirement, voluntary leave-without-pay, voluntary workweek or work hour reduction, voluntary downward movement, or temporary separation for development purposes.

    Agencies shall report on the outcomes of their plans, and offers shall be reviewed and monitored jointly by the department of personnel, the department of retirement systems, and the office of human resources for reporting to the office of financial management by December 1, 2002.

 

    NEW SECTION.  Sec. 910.  It is the intent of the legislature that agencies may implement a voluntary retirement incentive program that is cost neutral or results in cost savings provided that such a program is approved by the directors of retirement systems, the office of human resources, and the office of financial management.  Agencies participating in this authorization are required to submit a report by June 30, 2003, to the legislature and the office of financial management on the outcome of their approved retirement incentive program.  The report should include information on the details of the program including resulting service delivery changes, agency efficiencies, the cost of the retirement incentive per participant, the total cost to the state, and the projected or actual net dollar savings over the 2001-03 biennium.

 

    Sec. 911.  RCW 41.45.030 and 1995 c 233 s 1 are each amended to read as follows:

    (1) Beginning September 1, 1995, and every two years thereafter, the state actuary shall submit to the council information regarding the experience and financial condition of each state retirement system.  The council shall review this and such other information as it may require.

    (2) By December 31, 1995, and every two years thereafter, the council, by affirmative vote of five councilmembers, shall adopt the following long-term economic assumptions:

    (a) Growth in system membership;

    (b) Growth in salaries, exclusive of merit or longevity increases;

    (c) Growth in inflation; and

    (d) Investment rate of return.

    The council shall work with the department of retirement systems, the state actuary, and the executive director of the state investment board, and shall consider long-term historical averages, in developing the economic assumptions.

    (3) Except as provided in subsection (4) of this section and RCW 41.45.060, the assumptions adopted by the council shall be used by the state actuary in conducting all actuarial studies of the state retirement systems.

    (4) For the period beginning July 1, 2001, and ending June 30, 2003, the department of retirement systems shall adopt alternative basic employer and state contribution rates calculated by the office of the state actuary based on its 1999 actuarial valuation studies using an eight percent investment rate of return rather than the assumption adopted by the council under subsection 2(d) of this section.  The eight percent investment assumption shall also be used by the state actuary in conducting all other actuarial studies of the state retirement systems for the period ending June 30, 2003.

 

    Sec. 912.  RCW 41.45.060 and 2000 2nd sp.s. c 1 s 905 and 2000 c 247 s 504 are each reenacted and amended to read as follows:

    (3) For the period beginning July 1, 2001, and ending June 30, 2003, the department of retirement systems shall adopt alternative basic employer and state contribution rates as developed by the office of the state actuary, based on its 1999 actuarial valuation studies using an eight percent investment rate of return, rather than the assumption adopted by the pension funding council under RCW 41.45.030.  The basic state contribution rate for the law enforcement officers' and fire fighters' retirement system, and the basic employer contribution rate for the public employees' retirement system, the teachers' retirement system, the school employees' retirement system, and the Washington state patrol retirement system shall be adopted effective July 1, 2001.

    (4) The employer and state contribution rates adopted by the council and department shall be the level percentages of pay that are needed:

    The cost of supervision fund is created in the custody of the state treasurer.  All receipts from assessments made under RCW 9.94A.270 and 72.04A.120 shall be deposited into the fund.  Expenditures from the fund may be used only to support the collection of legal financial obligations.  During the ((1999-2001)) 2001-2003 biennium, funds from the account may also be used for costs associated with the department's supervision of the offenders in the community((, and the replacement of the department of corrections' offender-based tracking system)).  Only the secretary of the department of corrections or the secretary's designee may authorize expenditures from the fund.  The fund is subject to allotment procedures under chapter 43.88 RCW, but no appropriation is required for expenditures.

    Sec. 917.  RCW 43.135.045 and 2001 c 3 s 9 (Initiative Measure No. 728), 2000 2nd sp.s. c 5 s 1, and 2000 2nd sp.s. c 2 s 3 are each reenacted and amended to read as follows:

    (1) The emergency reserve fund is established in the state treasury.  During each fiscal year, the state treasurer shall deposit in the emergency reserve fund all general fund‑-state revenues in excess of the state expenditure limit for that fiscal year.  Deposits shall be made at the end of each fiscal quarter based on projections of state revenues and the state expenditure limit.  The treasurer shall make transfers between these accounts as necessary to reconcile actual annual revenues and the expenditure limit for fiscal year 2000 and thereafter.

    (2) The legislature may appropriate moneys from the emergency reserve fund only with approval of at least two-thirds of the members of each house of the legislature, and then only if the appropriation does not cause total expenditures to exceed the state expenditure limit under this chapter.

    (3) The emergency reserve fund balance shall not exceed five percent of annual general fund‑-state revenues as projected by the official state revenue forecast.  Any balance in excess of five percent shall be transferred on a quarterly basis by the state treasurer as follows:  Seventy-five percent to the student achievement fund hereby created in the state treasury and twenty-five percent to the general fund balance.  The treasurer shall make transfers between these accounts as necessary to reconcile actual annual revenues for fiscal year 2000 and thereafter.  When per-student state funding for the maintenance and operation of K-12 education meets a level of no less than ninety percent of the national average of total funding from all sources per student as determined by the most recent published data from the national center for education statistics of the United States department of education, as calculated by the office of financial management, further deposits to the student achievement fund shall be required only to the extent necessary to maintain the ninety-percent level.  Remaining funds are part of the general fund balance and these funds are subject to the expenditure limits of this chapter.

    (4) The education construction fund is hereby created in the state treasury.

    (a) Funds may be appropriated from the education construction fund exclusively for common school construction or higher education construction.

    (b) Funds may be appropriated for any other purpose only if approved by a two-thirds vote of each house of the legislature and if approved by a vote of the people at the next general election.  An appropriation approved by the people under this subsection shall result in an adjustment to the state expenditure limit only for the fiscal period for which the appropriation is made and shall not affect any subsequent fiscal period.

    (5) Funds from the student achievement fund shall be appropriated to the superintendent of public instruction strictly for distribution to school districts to meet the provisions set out in the student achievement act.  Allocations shall be made on an equal per full-time equivalent student basis to each school district.

    (6) Earnings of the emergency reserve fund under RCW 43.84.092(4)(a) shall be transferred quarterly to the multimodal transportation account, except for those earnings that are in excess of thirty-five million dollars each fiscal year.  Within thirty days following any fiscal year in which earnings transferred to the multimodal transportation account under this subsection did not total thirty-five million dollars, the state treasurer shall transfer from the emergency reserve fund an amount necessary to bring the total deposited in the multimodal transportation account under this subsection to thirty-five million dollars.  The revenues to the multimodal transportation account reflected in this subsection provide ongoing support for the transportation programs of the state.  However, it is the intent of the legislature that any new long-term financial support that may be subsequently provided for transportation programs will be used to replace and supplant the revenues reflected in this subsection, thereby allowing those revenues to be returned to the purposes to which they were previously dedicated.

    (7) Beginning in fiscal year 2002, the state treasurer shall transfer fifty million dollars a year, or any other amount appropriated for this purpose, from the emergency reserve fund to the multimodal transportation account.  This transfer shall take place subsequent to any calculation of deposits to the student achievement fund as required under subsection (3) of this section.

 

    NEW SECTION.  Sec. 918.  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. 919.  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 takes effect immediately.
