providing appropriation authority, and an equal amount of appropriated state
general fund moneys shall lapse. Upon the lapsing of any moneys under this
subsection, the office of financial management shall notify the legislative

provided in several local offices to increase staff that support case-carrying
social workers in ways that will allow social workers to increase direct

incurred by relatives after placement if such costs would likely cause a
disruption in the kinship care placement. $50,000 of the funds provided shall
be contracted to the Washington institute for public policy to conduct a study
of kinship care placements. The study shall examine the prevalence and needs
of families who are raising related children and shall compare services and
policies of Washington state with other states that have a higher rate of
kinship care placements in lieu of foster care placements. The study shall
identify possible changes in services and policies that are likely to increase
appropriate kinship care placements.

support. $16,000,000 of the general fund‑-federal amount shall remain
unalloted until the office of financial management approves a plan submitted by
the department to achieve a higher rate of federal earnings in the foster care
program. That plan shall also be submitted to the fiscal committees of the
legislature and shall indicate projected federal revenue compared to actual

APPROPRIATION................. $ 731,863,000
The
appropriations in this subsection are subject to the following conditions and
limitations:
(a)
Regional support networks shall use portions of the general fund‑-state
appropriation for implementation of working agreements with the vocational
rehabilitation program which will maximize the use of federal funding for
vocational programs.
(b)
From the general fund‑-state appropriations in this subsection, the
secretary of social and health services shall assure that regional support
networks reimburse the aging and adult services program for the general fund‑-state
cost of medicaid personal care services that enrolled regional support network
consumers use because of their psychiatric disability.
(c)
$388,000 of the general fund‑-state appropriation for fiscal year 2002,
$1,927,000 of the general fund‑-state appropriation for fiscal year 2003,
and $2,349,000 of the general fund‑-federal appropriation are provided
solely for development and operation of community residential and support
services for persons whose treatment needs constitute substantial barriers to
community placement and who no longer require active psychiatric treatment at
an inpatient hospital level of care, no longer meet the criteria for inpatient
involuntary commitment, and who are clinically ready for discharge from a state
psychiatric hospital. In the event that enough patients are not transitioned
or diverted from the state hospitals to close at least two hospital wards by
July 2002, and two additional wards by April 2003, a proportional share of
these funds shall be transferred to the appropriations in subsection (2) of
this section to support continued care of the patients in the state hospitals.
Primary responsibility and accountability for provision of appropriate
community support for persons placed with these funds shall reside with the
mental health program and the regional support networks, with partnership and
active support from the alcohol and substance abuse and from the aging and
adult services programs. The department shall negotiate performance-based
incentive contracts with those regional support networks which have the most
viable plans for providing appropriate community support services for
significant numbers of persons from their area who would otherwise be served in
the state hospitals. The funds appropriated in this subsection shall not be
considered "available resources" as defined in RCW 71.24.025 and are
not subject to the standard allocation formula applied in accordance with RCW
71.24.035(13)(a).
(d) At
least $1,000,000 of the federal block grant funding appropriated in this
subsection shall be used for (i) initial development, training, and operation
of the community support teams which will work with long-term state hospital
residents prior and subsequent to their return to the community; and (ii)
development of support strategies which will reduce the unnecessary and
excessive use of state and local hospitals for short-term crisis stabilization
services. Such strategies may include training and technical assistance to
community long-term care and substance abuse providers; the development of
diversion beds and stabilization support teams; examination of state hospital
policies regarding admissions; and the development of new contractual standards
to assure that the statutory requirement that 85 percent of short-term
detentions be managed locally is being fulfilled. The department shall report
to the fiscal and policy committees of the legislature on the results of these
efforts by November 1, 2001, and again by November 1, 2002.
(e) The
department is authorized to implement a new formula for allocating available
resources among the regional support networks. The distribution formula shall
use the number of persons eligible for the state medical programs funded under
chapter 74.09 RCW as the measure of the requirement for the number of acutely
mentally ill, chronically mentally ill, severely emotionally disturbed
children, and seriously disturbed in accordance with RCW 71.24.035(13)(a). The
new formula shall be phased in over a period of no less than six years.
Furthermore, the department shall increase the medicaid capitation rates which
a regional support network would otherwise receive under the formula by an
amount sufficient to assure that total funding allocated to the regional
support network in fiscal year 2002 increases by up to 2.1 percent over the
amount actually paid to that regional support network in fiscal year 2001, and
by up to an additional 2.3 percent in fiscal year 2003, if total funding to the
regional support network would otherwise increase by less than those
percentages under the new formula, and provided that the nonfederal share of
the higher medicaid payment rate is provided by the regional support network
from local funds.
(f)
Within funds appropriated in this subsection, the department shall contract
with the Clark county regional support network for development and operation of
a project demonstrating collaborative methods for providing intensive mental
health services in the school setting for severely emotionally disturbed
children who are medicaid eligible. Project services are to be delivered by
teachers and teaching assistants who qualify as, or who are under the
supervision of, mental health professionals meeting the requirements of chapter
275-57 WAC. The department shall increase medicaid payments to the regional support
network by the amount necessary to cover the necessary and allowable costs of
the demonstration, not to exceed the upper payment limit specified for the
regional support network in the department's medicaid waiver agreement with the
federal government after meeting all other medicaid spending requirements
assumed in this subsection. The regional support network shall provide the
department with (i) periodic reports on project service levels, methods, and
outcomes; and (ii) an intergovernmental transfer equal to the state share of
the increased medicaid payment provided for operation of this project.
(g) The
health services account appropriation is provided solely for implementation of
strategies which the department and the affected regional support networks
conclude will best assure continued availability of community-based inpatient
psychiatric services in all areas of the state. Such strategies may include,
but are not limited to, emergency contracts for continued operation of
inpatient facilities otherwise at risk of closure because of demonstrated
uncompensated care; start-up grants for development of evaluation and treatment
facilities; and increases in the rate paid for inpatient psychiatric services
for medically indigent and/or general assistance for the unemployed patients.
The funds provided in this subsection must be: (i) Prioritized for use in
those areas of the state which are at greatest risk of lacking sufficient
inpatient psychiatric treatment capacity, rather than being distributed on a
formula basis; (ii) prioritized for use by those hospitals which do not receive
low-income disproportionate share hospital payments as of the date of
application for funding; and (iii) matched on a one-quarter local,
three-quarters state basis by funding from the regional support network or
networks in the area in which the funds are expended. Payments from the amount
provided in this subsection shall not be made to any provider that has not
agreed that, except for prospective rate increases, the payment shall offset,
on a dollar-for-dollar basis, any liability that may be established against, or
any settlement that may be agreed to by the state, regarding the rate of state
reimbursement for inpatient psychiatric care. The funds provided in this subsection
shall not be considered "available resources" as defined in RCW
71.24.025 and are not subject to the distribution formula established pursuant
to RCW 71.24.035.

residential, mental health, and other support services for long-term state
hospital patients whose treatment needs constitute substantial barriers to
community placement and who no longer require active psychiatric treatment at
an inpatient hospital level of care, no longer meet the criteria for inpatient
involuntary commitment, and who are clinically ready for discharge from a state
psychiatric hospital. No such patient is to move from the hospital until a
team of community professionals has become familiar with the person and their
treatment plan; assessed their strengths, preferences, and needs; arranged a
safe, clinically-appropriate, and stable place for them to live; assured that
other needed medical, behavioral, and social services are in place; and is
contracted to monitor the person's progress on an ongoing basis. The
department and the regional support networks shall endeavor to assure that
hospital patients are able to return to their area of origin, and that
placements are not concentrated in proximity to the hospitals.
(d) For
each month subsequent to the month in which a state hospital bed has been
closed in accordance with (c) of this subsection, the mental health program
shall transfer to the medical assistance program state funds equal to the state
share of the monthly per capita expenditure amount estimated for categorically
needy-disabled persons in the most recent forecast of medical assistance expenditures.

fiscal year adjustments.
(2)
Allocations for certificated staff salaries for the 2001-02 and 2002-03 school
years shall be determined using formula‑generated staff units calculated
pursuant to this subsection. Staff allocations for small school enrollments in
(d) through (f) of this subsection shall be reduced for vocational full-time
equivalent enrollments. Staff allocations for small school enrollments in

ratio equal to or greater than 55.4 certificated instructional staff per
thousand full-time equivalent students in grades K-4. For any school district
documenting a lower certificated instructional staff ratio, the allocation
shall be based on the district's actual grades K-4 certificated instructional
staff ratio achieved in that school year, or the statutory minimum ratio
established under RCW 28A.150.260(2)(b), if greater;

(1)
Funding for special education programs is provided on an excess cost basis,
pursuant to RCW 28A.150.390. School districts shall ensure that special
education students as a class receive their full 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 excess cost allocation funded in this section.
(2)(a)
Effective with the 2001-02 school year, the superintendent of public
instruction shall change the S-275 personnel reporting system and all related
accounting requirements to ensure that:
(i)
Special education students are basic education students first;
(ii) As
a class, special education students are entitled to the full basic education
allocation; and
(iii)
Special education students are basic education students for the entire school
day.
(b)
Effective with the 2001-02 school year, the S-275 and accounting changes shall
supercede any prior excess cost methodologies and shall be required of all
school districts.
(3)
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.
(4) 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.
(5)(a)
For the 2001-02 and 2002-03 school years, the superintendent shall distribute
state funds to each district based on the sum of:
(i) 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
(ii) A
district's annual average full-time equivalent basic education enrollment
multiplied by the funded enrollment percent determined pursuant to subsection
(6)(b) of this section, multiplied by the district's average basic education
allocation per full-time equivalent student multiplied by 0.9309.
(b) For
purposes of this subsection, "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.
(6) The
definitions in this subsection apply throughout this section.
(a)
"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).
(b)
"Enrollment percent" means 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 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 for the 2001-02 school year or 13.0 percent for the
2002-03 school year.
(7) 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
percent for the 2001-02 school year and 13.0 percent for the 2002-03 school
year, 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.
(8) A
maximum of $12,000,000 of the general fund‑-state appropriation for
fiscal year 2002 and a maximum of $10,623,000 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 (5) 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 lesser of 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 unmet needs for districts that can convincingly
demonstrate that all legitimate expenditures for special education exceed all
available revenues from state funding formulas. In the determination of need,
the committee shall also consider additional available revenues from federal
and local sources. Differences in program costs attributable to district philosophy,
service delivery choice, or accounting practices are not a legitimate 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
chapter 318, Laws of 1999.
(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 $120,000 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.
(9) 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.
(10)
The safety net oversight committee appointed by the superintendent of public
instruction shall consist of:
(a) One
staff from 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.
(11) 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 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.
(12) 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.
(13)
$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.
(14)
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.
(15) 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.
(16) A
school district may carry over from one year to the next year up to 10 percent
of general fund‑-state funds allocated under this program; however, carry
over funds shall be expended in the special education program.

NEW
SECTION. Sec. 902. INFORMATION
SYSTEMS PROJECTS. Agencies shall comply with
the following requirements regarding information systems projects when
specifically directed to do so by this act.
(1)
Agency planning and decisions concerning information technology shall be made
in the context of its information technology portfolio. "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.

expenditure limit, actual revenues as reported by the economic and revenue
forecast council, and the balance in the emergency reserve fund after the close
of the fiscal year.

A county's funding factor is the sum of:
(i)
The population of the county, divided by one thousand, and multiplied by two-tenths;
(ii)
The crime rate of the county, multiplied by three-tenths; and
(iii)
The annual number of criminal cases filed in the county superior court, for

(i)
The population of the county or city shall be as last determined by the office
of financial management;

The crime rate of the county or city is the annual occurrence of specified
criminal offenses, as calculated in the most recent annual report on crime in
Washington state as published by the Washington association of sheriffs and
police chiefs, for each one thousand in population;
(iii)
The annual number of criminal cases filed in the county superior court shall be
determined by the most recent annual report of the courts of Washington, as
published by the office of the administrator for the courts;
(iv)
Distributions and eligibility for distributions in the 1989‑91 biennium
shall be based on 1988 figures for both the crime rate as described under (ii)

on the most recent figures for both the crime rate as described under (ii) of
this subsection and the annual number of criminal cases that are filed as
described under (iii) of this subsection.
(3)
Moneys distributed under this section shall be expended exclusively for
criminal justice purposes and shall not be used to replace or supplant existing
funding. Criminal justice purposes are defined as activities that
substantially assist the criminal justice system, which may include
circumstances where ancillary benefit to the civil or juvenile justice system
occurs, and which includes (a) domestic violence services such as those
provided by domestic violence programs, community advocates, and legal
advocates, as defined in RCW 70.123.020, and (b) during the ((1999-2001))
2001-2003 fiscal biennium, juvenile dispositional hearings relating to
petitions for at-risk youth, truancy, and children in need of services.

year 1989 actual operating expenditures for criminal justice purposes exclude
the following: Expenditures for extraordinary events not likely to reoccur,
changes in contract provisions for criminal justice services, beyond the
