provided in this act, nor shall allotment modifications permit moneys
that are provided solely for a specified purpose to be used for other
than that purpose.
(2) The department of social and health services shall not initiate
any services that require expenditure of state general fund moneys
unless expressly authorized in this act or other law. The department
may seek, receive, and spend, under RCW 43.79.260 through 43.79.282,
federal moneys not anticipated in this act as long as the federal
funding does not require expenditure of state moneys for the program in
excess of amounts anticipated in this act. If the department receives
unanticipated unrestricted federal moneys, those moneys shall be spent
for services authorized in this act or in any other legislation
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

be necessary to finance a unified health care plan for the WMIP program
enrollment. The WMIP pilot projects shall not exceed a daily
enrollment of 6,000 persons, nor expand beyond one county, during the
2009-2011 biennium. The amount of funding assigned to the pilot
projects from each program may not exceed the average per capita cost
assumed in this act for individuals covered by that program,
actuarially adjusted for the health condition of persons enrolled in
the pilot project, times the number of clients enrolled in the pilot
project. In implementing the WMIP pilot projects, the department may:
(a) Withhold from calculations of "available resources" as set forth in
RCW 71.24.025 a sum equal to the capitated rate for individuals
enrolled in the pilots; and (b) employ capitation financing and risk-sharing arrangements in collaboration with health care service
contractors licensed by the office of the insurance commissioner and
qualified to participate in both the medicaid and medicare programs.

utilization, participant satisfaction, participant access to services,
and the state fiscal impact.

services in this act shall be expended for the programs and in the
amounts specified in this act. However, after May 1, 2010, unless
specifically prohibited by this act, the department may transfer

setting and settlement against payments under chapter 74.46 RCW shall
not be disallowed solely because such costs have been paid by revenues
retained by the nursing home from these supplemental payments. The
supplemental payments are subject to retrospective interim and final
cost settlements based on the nursing homes' as-filed and final
medicare cost reports. The timing of the interim and final cost
settlements shall be at the department's discretion. During either the
interim cost settlement or the final cost settlement, the department
shall recoup from the public hospital districts the supplemental
payments that exceed the medicaid cost limit and/or the medicare upper
payment limit. The department shall apply federal rules for
identifying the eligible incurred medicaid costs and the medicare upper
payment limit.
(4) $5,402,000 of the general fund -- federal appropriation,
$2,701,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year
2010, and $2,701,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for
fiscal year 2011 are provided solely for grants to rural hospitals.
The department shall distribute the funds under a formula that provides
a relatively larger share of the available funding to hospitals that
(a) serve a disproportionate share of low-income and medically indigent
patients and (b) have relatively smaller net financial margins, to the
extent allowed by the federal medicaid program.
(5) $10,546,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal
year 2010, $10,546,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for
fiscal year 2011, and $19,725,000 of the general fund -- federal
appropriation are provided solely for grants to nonrural hospitals.
The department shall distribute the funds under a formula that provides
a relatively larger share of the available funding to hospitals that
(a) serve a disproportionate share of low-income and medically indigent
patients and (b) have relatively smaller net financial margins, to the
extent allowed by the federal medicaid program.
(6) The department shall continue the inpatient hospital certified
public expenditures program for the 2009-11 biennium. The program
shall apply to all public hospitals, including those owned or operated
by the state, except those classified as critical access hospitals or
state psychiatric institutions. The department shall submit reports to
the governor and legislature by November 1, 2009, and by November 1,
2010, that evaluate whether savings continue to exceed costs for this
program. If the certified public expenditures (CPE) program in its
current form is no longer cost-effective to maintain, the department
shall submit a report to the governor and legislature detailing
cost-effective alternative uses of local, state, and federal resources
as a replacement for this program. During fiscal year 2010 and fiscal
year 2011, hospitals in the program shall be paid and shall retain (a)
one hundred percent of the federal portion of the allowable hospital
cost for each medicaid inpatient fee-for-service claim payable by
medical assistance; and (b) one hundred percent of the federal portion
of the maximum disproportionate share hospital payment allowable under
federal regulations. Inpatient medicaid payments shall be established
using an allowable methodology that approximates the cost of claims
submitted by the hospitals. Payments made to each hospital in the
program in each fiscal year of the biennium shall be compared to a
baseline amount. The baseline amount will be determined by the total
of (a) the inpatient claim payment amounts that would have been paid
during the fiscal year had the hospital not been in the CPE program,
and (b) disproportionate share hospital payment amounts paid to and
retained by each hospital during fiscal year 2005 that pertain to
fiscal year 2005. If payments during the fiscal year exceed the
hospital's baseline amount, no additional payments will be made to the
hospital except the federal portion of allowable disproportionate share
hospital payments for which the hospital can certify allowable match.
If payments during the fiscal year are less than the baseline amount,
the hospital will be paid a state grant equal to the difference between
payments during the fiscal year and the applicable baseline amount.
Payment of the state grant shall be made in the applicable fiscal year
and distributed in monthly payments. The grants will be recalculated
and redistributed as the baseline is updated during the fiscal year.
The grant payments are subject to an interim settlement within eleven
months after the end of the fiscal year. A final settlement shall be
performed. To the extent that either settlement determines that a
hospital has received funds in excess of what it would have received as
described in this subsection, the hospital must repay the excess
amounts to the state when requested. $46,985,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2010, of which $6,570,000 is
appropriated in section 204(1) of this act and the balance in this
section, and $45,349,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for
fiscal year 2011, of which $1,500,000 is appropriated in section 204(1)
of this act and the balance in this section, are provided solely for
state grants for the participating hospitals.
(7) The department is authorized to use funds appropriated in this
section to purchase goods and supplies through direct contracting with
vendors when the department determines it is cost-effective to do so.

program and who are age five and enrolled in kindergarten and students

(5)(a) For the 2009-10 and 2010-11 school years, the superintendent
shall make allocations to each district based on the sum of:
(i) A district's annual average headcount enrollment of students
ages birth through four and those five year olds not yet enrolled in

enrollment shall be the lesser of the district's actual enrollment
percent or 12.7 percent.
(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 calculated in accordance with subsection
(6)(b) of this section, 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) To the extent necessary, $73,668,000 of the general fund -- state

conditions and limitations:
(a) The committee shall 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 sources. Differences in

choice, or accounting practices are not a legitimate basis for safety
net awards. In the determination of need, the committee shall require
that districts demonstrate that they are maximizing their eligibility
for all state and federal revenues related to services for special
education-eligible students. Awards associated with (b) and (c) of
this subsection shall not exceed the total of a district's specific
determination of need.

needs of one or more individual special education students.
Differences in costs attributable to district philosophy, service

a larger number of families with children in need of special education
services. The safety net awards to school districts shall be adjusted
to reflect amounts awarded under (b) of this subsection.
(d) 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.
(e) Safety net awards must be adjusted for any audit findings or
exceptions related to special education funding.
(f) 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. The state
safety net oversight committee shall ensure that safety net
documentation and awards are based on current medicaid revenue amounts.
(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

year 2010, $50,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal
year 2011, and $100,000 of the general fund--federal appropriation
shall be expended to support a special education ombudsman program
within the office of superintendent of public instruction. The purpose
of the program is to provide support to parents, guardians, educators,
and students with disabilities. The program will provide information
to help families and educators understand state laws, rules, and
regulations, and access training and support, technical information
services, and mediation services. The ombudsman program will provide
data, information, and appropriate recommendations to the office of
superintendent of public instruction, school districts, educational
service districts, state need projects, and the parent and teacher
information center. Within the appropriations in this section there is
sufficient funding provided to also provide at least a half-time
support staff position for the special education ombudsman program.

appropriation may be expended by the superintendent for projects

this program; however, carryover funds shall be expended in the special
education program.

the extent funds are appropriated for this purpose, the department
shall develop a proposal for implementing a statewide Washington head
start program. To the extent possible while maintaining quality
standards, the proposal should align the state early childhood
education and assistance program with federal head start program
eligibility criteria, guidelines, performance standards, and
methods/processes for ensuring continuous improvement in program
quality. In this proposal, the department shall make recommendations
that:
(a) Identify federal head start program guidelines, performance
measures and standards, or other requirements for which state
flexibility would be recommended. This shall include an analysis of
how state flexibility may impact outcomes for children and how that
flexibility might deviate from outcomes associated with the federal
standards. Areas to be examined must include, but are not limited to,
transportation requirements, service hour configurations, delivery
methods, and impact on rural programs;
(b) Provide comparative data regarding child performance,
readiness, and educational outcomes for Washington's existing head
start and early childhood education and assistance programs;
(c) Determine the alignment between head start standards and the
recommendations of Washington learns;
(d) Identify any change in the state early childhood education and
assistance program laws that would be required to implement the
Washington head start proposal;
(e) Identify additional resources needed to meet federal guidelines
and standards. Areas to be examined must include, but are not limited
to: Per-child funding levels, professional development and training
needs, facilities needs, and technical assistance;
(f) Identify state early childhood education and assistance
programs that do and do not offer full-day, full-year services to
children, and what transition steps would be needed for these programs
to operate in the same manner as federal head start programs;
(g) Provide steps for phasing-in the Washington head start
proposal;
(h) Include a timeline, strategy, and funding needs to implement a
statewide, state-supported early head start program as a component of
the Washington head start proposal; and
(i) Detail the process the department would take with the regional
office of federal head start in identifying any exceptions or waivers
needed to provide flexibility and maintain high quality standards.
(2) In developing its recommendations for this proposal, the
department shall seek, where appropriate and available, training or
technical assistance from the appropriate regional office of federal
head start in order to maximize nonstate resources that might be
available for the consultative work and research involved with
developing this proposal. The department also shall consult with and
solicit input from:
(a) State early childhood education and assistance program
providers on Indian reservations and across the state, including
providers who operate solely state-supported programs;
(b) Tribal governments operating head start programs and early head
start programs in the state to ensure that the needs of Indian and
Alaskan native children and their families are incorporated into the
recommendations of the proposal, especially as they pertain to
standards or guidelines around language acquisition, school readiness,
availability and need for services among Indian and Alaskan native
children and their families, and curriculum development; and
(c) Providers operating migrant and seasonal head start programs in
the state in order to address the needs of the children of migrant and
seasonal farmworker families.
(3) The department shall make recommendations on how it would
periodically review the standards and guidelines within the Washington
head start program, including incorporation of the latest research and
information on early childhood development as well as any new
innovations that may further improve outcomes to low-income children
and their families.
(4) The department's recommendations on a Washington head start
proposal shall include how the proposal aligns with the department's
current statutory duties. The recommendations shall also include any
other options that may improve the quality of state-supported early
learning programs.
(5) The department shall deliver its report to the governor and
legislature by December 1, 2009.
Sec. 933 RCW 70.93.180 and 2005 c 518 s 939 are each amended to
read as follows:
(1) There is hereby created an account within the state treasury to
be known as the "waste reduction, recycling, and litter control
account". Moneys in the account may be spent only after appropriation.
Expenditures from the waste reduction, recycling, and litter control
account shall be used as follows:
(a) Fifty percent to the department of ecology, for use by the
departments of ecology, natural resources, revenue, transportation, and
corrections, and the parks and recreation commission, for use in litter
collection programs, to be distributed under RCW 70.93.220. The amount
to the department of ecology shall also be used for a central
coordination function for litter control efforts statewide, for the
biennial litter survey under RCW 70.93.200(8), and for statewide public
awareness programs under RCW 70.93.200(7). The amount to the
department shall also be used to defray the costs of administering the
funding, coordination, and oversight of local government programs for
waste reduction, litter control, and recycling, so that local
governments can apply one hundred percent of their funding to achieving
program goals. The amount to the department of revenue shall be used
to enforce compliance with the litter tax imposed in chapter 82.19 RCW;
(b) Twenty percent to the department for local government funding
programs for waste reduction, litter control, and recycling activities
by cities and counties under RCW 70.93.250, to be administered by the
department of ecology; and
(c) Thirty percent to the department of ecology for waste reduction
and recycling efforts.
(2) All taxes imposed in RCW 82.19.010 and fines and bail
forfeitures collected or received pursuant to this chapter shall be
deposited in the waste reduction, recycling, and litter control account
and used for the programs under subsection (1) of this section.
(3) Not less than five percent and no more than ten percent of the
amount appropriated into the waste reduction, recycling, and litter
control account every biennium shall be reserved for capital needs,
including the purchase of vehicles for transporting crews and for
collecting litter and solid waste. Capital funds shall be distributed
among state agencies and local governments according to the same
criteria provided in RCW 70.93.220 for the remainder of the funds, so
that the most effective waste reduction, litter control, and recycling
programs receive the most funding. The intent of this subsection is to
provide funds for the purchase of equipment that will enable the
department to account for the greatest return on investment in terms of
reaching a zero litter goal.
(4) During the ((2005-2007)) 2009-2011 fiscal biennium, the
legislature may transfer from the waste reduction, recycling, and
litter control account to the state general fund such amounts as
reflect the excess fund balance of the account. For purposes of
subsection (1) of this section, this transfer shall be treated as an
expenditure for litter collection.
