metrics against its past performance;
(iii) A methodology for investing any unallocated incentive funds
to the state need grant program created in chapter 28B.92 RCW to expand
access to low-income and underserved student populations; and
(iv) A methodology for establishing a baseline level of state
funding that:
(A) Fully supports the state's need for an increasing portion of
its citizens to gain post-secondary education and qualifications;
(B) Recognizes the acute need of the state's high-technology
economy for a sufficient number of graduates in high employer demand
programs of study;
(C) Achieves a more equitable share of support between the state
and students and their families; and
(D) Provides for funding enhancements based on demonstrated
improvements in institutional performance within the educational
achievement and tuition reduction incentive program.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 201 FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL AND HEALTH

(1) The appropriations to the department of social and health

amounts specified in this act. Appropriations made in this act to the
department of social and health services shall initially be allotted as
required by this act. Subsequent allotment modifications shall not
include transfers of moneys between sections of this act except as
expressly 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
the legislative fiscal committees. As used in this subsection,
"unrestricted federal moneys" includes block grants and other funds
that federal law does not require to be spent on specifically defined
projects or matched on a formula basis by state funds.
(3)(a) The health care authority and the department are authorized
to develop an integrated health care program designed to slow the
progression of illness and disability and better manage medicaid
expenditures for the aged and disabled population. Under the
Washington medicaid integration partnership (WMIP) and the medicare
integrated care project (MICP), the health care authority and the
department may combine and transfer such medicaid funds appropriated under sections 204, 206, 208, and 213 of this act as may be necessary
to finance a unified health care plan for the WMIP and the MICP program
enrollment. The WMIP pilot projects shall not exceed a daily
enrollment of 6,000 persons, nor expand beyond one county during the
2013-2015 fiscal biennium. The amount of funding assigned 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, times the number of clients
enrolled. In implementing the WMIP and the MICP, the health care
authority and the department may: (i) Withhold from calculations of
"available resources" as set forth in RCW 71.24.025 a sum equal to the
capitated rate for enrolled individuals; and (ii) 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.
(b) If Washington has been selected to participate in phase two of
the federal demonstration project for persons dually-eligible for both
medicare and medicaid, the department and the authority may initiate
the MICP. Participation in the project shall be limited to persons who
are eligible for both medicare and medicaid and to counties in which
the county legislative authority has agreed to the terms and conditions
under which it will operate. The purpose of the project shall be to
demonstrate and evaluate ways to improve care while reducing state
expenditures for persons enrolled both in medicare and medicaid. To
that end, prior to initiating the project, the department and the
authority shall assure that state expenditures shall be no greater on
either a per person or total basis than the state would otherwise
incur. Individuals who are solely eligible for medicaid may also
participate if their participation is agreed to by the health care
authority, the department, and the county legislative authority.
(4) The legislature finds that medicaid payment rates, as
calculated by the department pursuant to the appropriations in this
act, bear a reasonable relationship to the costs incurred by
efficiently and economically operated facilities for providing quality
services and will be sufficient to enlist enough providers so that care
and services are available to the extent that such care and services
are available to the general population in the geographic area. The legislature finds that cost reports, payment data from the federal
government, historical utilization, economic data, and clinical input
constitute reliable data upon which to determine the payment rates.
(5) The department shall to the maximum extent practicable use the
same system for delivery of spoken-language interpreter services for
social services appointments as the one established for medical
appointments in section 213 of this act. When contracting directly
with an individual to deliver spoken language interpreter services, the
department shall only contract with language access providers who are
working at a location in the state and who are state-certified or
state-authorized, except that when such a provider is not available,
the department may use a language access provider who meets other
certifications or standards deemed to meet state standards, including
interpreters in other states.
(6) The department shall facilitate enrollment under the medicaid
expansion for clients applying for or receiving state funded services
from the department and its contractors. Prior to open enrollment, the
department shall coordinate with the health care authority to provide
referrals to the Washington health benefit exchange for clients that
will be ineligible for the medicaid expansion but are enrolled in
coverage that will be eliminated in the transition to the medicaid
expansion.

administration division director. The committee may make changes to
the formula categories other than the evidence-based program and
disposition alternative categories if it is determined the changes will
increase statewide service delivery or effectiveness of evidence-based
program or disposition alternative resulting in increased cost benefit
savings to the state. Long-term cost benefit must be considered.
Percentage changes may occur in the evidence-based program or
disposition alternative categories of the formula should it be
determined the changes will increase evidence-based program or
disposition alternative delivery and increase the cost benefit to the
state. These outcomes will also be considered in determining when
evidence-based expansion or special sex offender disposition
alternative funds should be included in the block grant or left
separate.
(c) The juvenile courts and administrative office of the courts
shall be responsible for collecting and distributing information and
providing access to the data systems to the juvenile rehabilitation

the state in the implementation of evidence-based practices and
disposition alternatives.
(8) The juvenile courts and administrative office of the courts
shall collect and distribute information related to program outcome and

receives the data that the juvenile rehabilitation administration
identifies as needed to comply with this subsection. This includes,
but is not limited to, information by program at the statewide
aggregate level, individual court level, and individual client level
for the purpose of the juvenile rehabilitation administration providing
quality assurance and oversight for the locally committed youth block
grant and associated funds and at times as specified by the juvenile
rehabilitation administration as necessary to carry out these

services not covered by the medicaid program. To the extent possible,
levels of regional support network spending shall be maintained in the

(i) The $4,343,000 reduction in fiscal year 2014 and $11,723,000 of
the reduction in fiscal year 2015 must be distributed among regional support networks based on a formula that equally weights each regional
support networks proportion of individuals who become newly eligible
and enroll in medicaid under the expansion provisions of the affordable

reimbursable for federal medicaid matching funds if provided to
medicaid enrollees in the 2011-2013 fiscal biennium.
(ii) The remaining $11,723,000 reduction in fiscal year 2015 must

determining the proportion of medicaid and nonmedicaid funding provided
to regional support networks with PACT teams, the department shall
consider the differences between regional support networks in the
percentages of services and other costs associated with the teams that
are not reimbursable under medicaid. The department may allow regional
support networks which have nonmedicaid reimbursable costs that are
higher than the nonmedicaid allocation they receive under this section
to supplement these funds with local dollars or funds received under
section 204(1)(a) of this act. The department and regional support

federal funding.

fiscal year 2015 are provided solely to reimburse Pierce and Spokane
counties for the cost of conducting 180-day commitment hearings at the
state psychiatric hospitals.
(j) Regional support networks may use local funds to earn
additional federal medicaid match, provided the locally matched rate
does not exceed the upper-bound of their federally allowable rate
range, and provided that the enhanced funding is used only to provide
medicaid state plan or waiver services to medicaid clients.
Additionally, regional support networks may use a portion of the state
funds allocated in accordance with (a) of this subsection to earn

of such funds to medicaid services does not diminish the level of
crisis and commitment, community inpatient, residential care, and
outpatient services presently available to persons not eligible for

provided solely for implementation of sections 3 through 5 of chapter
289, Laws of 2013 (E2SHB 1114). Regional support networks must use

allow individuals to be diverted or transitioned from the state
hospitals in accordance with plans approved by the department.
(m) $5,986,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal
year 2014, $11,592,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for
fiscal year 2015, and $10,160,000 of the general fund--federal appropriation are provided solely for implementation of chapter 335,
Laws of 2013 (ESSB 5480). Regional support networks must use this
funding for the development of intensive community programs that allow
individuals to be diverted or transitioned from the state hospitals in
accordance with plans approved by the department.
(n) Due to recent approval of federal medicaid matching funds for
the disability lifeline and the alcohol and drug abuse treatment
support act programs, the department shall charge regional support
networks for only the state share rather than the total cost of
community psychiatric hospitalization for persons enrolled in those
programs.
(o) The legislature finds that the circumstances of the Chelan-Douglas regional support network (CD-RSN) make it necessary for CD-RSN
to undergo restructuring in order to provide mental health services
essential to the health and wellness of the citizens within its service
area. The legislature intends to provide additional temporary
financial relief to the CD-RSN while it undergoes internal
restructuring or negotiates a merger with another regional support
network.
The department shall negotiate relief for outstanding fiscal year
2013 reimbursements owed by CD-RSN to the state provided that the CD-RSN has a plan in place that is approved by the department by August 1,
2013, that demonstrates how CD-RSN will maintain financial viability
and stability or will merge with another regional support network.

department may alter collection of reimbursement from CD-RSN for
overuse of state hospital beds. To receive a reduction to the required
reimbursement for overuse of state hospital beds, CD-RSN must continue
to prioritize services that reduce its utilization and census at
eastern state hospital and be actively implementing an approved plan to
maintain financial viability or pursuing a future merger with another
regional support network. Up to $298,000 of the general fund--state
appropriation for fiscal year 2014 is for the department to provide
payments to regional support networks in eastern Washington which have
used less than their allocated or contracted patient days of care at
the state hospital to replace the share of the reimbursements from CD-RSN that the regional support networks would have received under RCW
71.24.320.
(p) $266,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal
year 2014 is provided solely to maintain services for the King county
regional support network as it works to transition services to settings

(2) The requirements of this subsection apply to the basic health

programs. Under this enhanced subsidy option, foster parents eligible
to participate in the basic health plan as subsidized enrollees and
home care workers with family incomes below 200 percent of the federal
poverty level shall be allowed to enroll in the basic health plan at
the minimum premium amount charged to enrollees with incomes below
sixty-five percent of the federal poverty level.

assure that persons participating in the basic health plan are eligible
for the level of assistance they receive: (a) Require submission of
(i) income tax returns, and recent pay history, from all applicants, or (ii) other verifiable evidence of earned and unearned income from those
persons not required to file income tax returns; (b) check employment
security payroll records at least once every twelve months on all
enrollees; (c) require enrollees whose income as indicated by payroll
records exceeds that upon which their subsidy is based to document
their current income as a condition of continued eligibility; (d)
require enrollees for whom employment security payroll records cannot
be obtained to document their current income at least once every six
months; (e) not reduce gross family income for self-employed persons by

(3) The legislature finds that medicaid payment rates, as
calculated by the health care authority pursuant to the appropriations
in this act, bear a reasonable relationship to the costs incurred by
efficiently and economically operated facilities for providing quality
services and will be sufficient to enlist enough providers so that care
and services are available to the extent that such care and services
are available to the general population in the geographic area. The
legislature finds that the cost reports, payment data from the federal
government, historical utilization, economic data, and clinical input
constitute reliable data upon which to determine the payment rates.
(4) Based on quarterly expenditure reports and caseload forecasts,
if the health care authority estimates that expenditures for the
medical assistance program will exceed the appropriations, the health
care authority shall take steps including but not limited to reduction
of rates or elimination of optional services to reduce expenditures so
that total program costs do not exceed the annual appropriation
authority.

recoveries by Holocaust survivors of insurance proceeds or other
assets, as defined in RCW 48.104.030.

Harborview medical center to remain an economically viable component of
the state's health care system.

residence in an institution for mental diseases, the health care
authority shall provide the person with the same benefits as he or she

extent necessary.

(11) Within the amounts appropriated in this section, the health
care authority shall provide disproportionate share hospital payments
to hospitals that provide services to children in the children's health
program who are not eligible for services under Title XIX or XXI of the
federal social security act due to their citizenship status.
(12) $6,000,000 of the general fund -- federal appropriation is
provided solely for supplemental payments to nursing homes operated by public hospital districts. The public hospital district shall be
responsible for providing the required nonfederal match for the
supplemental payment, and the payments shall not exceed the maximum
allowable under federal rules. It is the legislature's intent that the
payments shall be supplemental to and shall not in any way offset or
reduce the payments calculated and provided in accordance with part E
of chapter 74.46 RCW. It is the legislature's further intent that
costs otherwise allowable for rate-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 health care
authority's discretion. During either the interim cost settlement or
the final cost settlement, the health care authority shall recoup from
the public hospital districts the supplemental payments that exceed the
medicaid cost limit and/or the medicare upper payment limit. The
health care authority shall apply federal rules for identifying the
eligible incurred medicaid costs and the medicare upper payment limit.
(13) The health care authority shall continue the inpatient
hospital certified public expenditures program for the 2013-2015 fiscal
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
health care authority shall submit reports to the governor and
legislature by November 1, 2013, and by November 1, 2014, 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 health care authority 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 2014 and fiscal
year 2015, hospitals in the program shall be paid and shall retain 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 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 based on the
reimbursement rates developed, implemented, and consistent with
policies approved in the 2013-2015 biennial operating appropriations
act and in effect on July 1, 2013, (b) one-half of the indigent
assistance disproportionate share hospital payment amounts paid to and
retained by each hospital during fiscal year 2005, and (c) all of the
other disproportionate share hospital payment amounts paid to and
retained by each hospital during fiscal year 2005 to the extent the
same disproportionate share hospital programs exist in the 2013-2015
fiscal biennium. 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. $3,860,000 of the general
fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2014 and $1,137,000 of the
general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2015 are provided
solely for state grants for the participating hospitals.
(14) The health care authority shall seek public-private
partnerships and federal funds that are or may become available to
provide on-going support for outreach and education efforts under the federal children's health insurance program reauthorization act of
2009.
(15) The health care authority shall target funding for maternity
support services towards pregnant women with factors that lead to
higher rates of poor birth outcomes, including hypertension, a preterm
or low birth weight birth in the most recent previous birth, a
cognitive deficit or developmental disability, substance abuse, severe
mental illness, unhealthy weight or failure to gain weight, tobacco
use, or African American or Native American race. The health care
authority shall prioritize evidence-based practices for delivery of
maternity support services. To the extent practicable, the health care
authority shall develop a mechanism to increase federal funding for
maternity support services by leveraging local public funding for those
services.
(16) $170,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal
year 2014, $121,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal
year 2015, and $292,000 of the general fund--federal appropriation are
provided solely to implement Engrossed Substitute House Bill No. 1519

year 2014, $40,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal
year 2015, and $55,000 of the general fund--federal appropriation are
provided solely to develop a report on state efforts to prevent and
control diabetes. The authority, the department of social and health

plans for diabetes and implement these strategies as a pilot through
one health home program to be identified by the authority. The
authority shall report to the governor and the legislature in December
2014 on the progress of strategy implementation. The authority shall
report to the governor and legislature in December 2015 on patient outcomes and cost savings derived from new adherence strategies in the
health home model and make recommendations for improving the
strategies.
(19) Effective January 1, 2014, managed care contracts must
incorporate accountability measures that monitor patient health and
improved health outcomes, and shall include an expectation that each
patient receive a wellness examination that documents the baseline
health status and allows for monitoring of health improvements and
outcome measures.
(20) $25,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal
year 2014 and $25,000 of the general fund--federal appropriation are
provided solely for the development of recommendations for funding
integrated school nursing and outreach services. The authority shall
collaborate with the office of the superintendent of public instruction
to develop recommendations for increasing federal financial
participation for providing nursing services in schools with the goals
of integrating nursing and outreach services and supporting one nurse
for every four hundred fifty students in elementary schools and one
nurse for every seven hundred fifty students in secondary schools. In
developing these recommendations, the authority shall inquire with the
federal centers for medicare and medicaid services about state plan
amendment or waiver options for receiving additional federal matching
funds for school nursing services provided to children enrolled in
apple health for kids. The recommendations shall include proposals for
funding training and reimbursement for nurses that provide outreach
services to help eligible students enroll in apple health for kids and
other social services programs. The authority and the office of the
superintendent of public instruction shall provide these
recommendations to the governor and the legislature by December 1,
2013.

from July 1, 2013, to December 31, 2014.
(27) The authority shall seek a medicaid state plan amendment to
create a professional services supplemental payment managed care
program for professional services delivered to managed care recipients
by University of Washington medicine and other public professional
providers. This program shall be effective as soon as administratively
possible and shall operate concurrently with the existing professional
services supplemental payment program. The authority shall apply
federal rules for identifying the difference between average commercial

multiplied by the number of managed care encounters and incorporated
into the managed care plan capitation rates by a certified actuary.
The managed care plans will pay the providers the difference
attributable to the increased capitation rate. Participating providers
shall be solely responsible for providing the local funds required to
obtain federal matching funds. Any incremental costs incurred by the
authority in the development, implementation, and maintenance of this

the price of the brand name drug after rebates more expensive than the
generic alternatives.
(36) The authority shall not subject antiretroviral drugs used to
treat HIV/AIDS, anticancer medications used to kill or slow the growth
of cancerous cells, antihemophilic drugs, or transplant drugs to any

its medicaid-only managed care enrollees under section 2703.
(39) The health care authority shall not initiate any services that
require expenditure of state general fund moneys unless expressly
authorized in this act or other law. The health care authority 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 health care
authority 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 the legislative fiscal committees. As used in
this subsection, "unrestricted federal moneys" includes block grants
and other funds that federal law does not require to be spent on
specifically defined projects or matched on a formula basis by state
funds.

shall reimburse for primary care services provided by naturopathic
physicians.
(41) Within amounts appropriated, the health care authority shall

pregnant teens that qualify under existing pregnancy medical programs,
but whose eligibility for pregnancy related services would otherwise
end due to the application of the new modified adjusted gross income
eligibility standard.
(44) Upon implementation of the medicaid expansion under subsection
(1) of this section, the breast and cervical cancer treatment program
is eliminated. To maintain continuity of coverage, the authority shall
offer the option to stay in a fee-for-service program to clients that
are already enrolled in the breast and cervical cancer treatment
program and will be transitioned into the new adult group upon implementation of the medicaid expansion. The authority will continue
to provide coverage to clients that are already enrolled in the breast
and cervical cancer treatment program at the time of program
elimination until their courses of treatment are completed.
(45) $40,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal
year 2014 and $40,000 of the general fund--federal appropriation are
provided solely for the authority to create a new position to provide
adequate oversight and assistance to managed care organizations, rural
health clinics, and federally qualified health centers under a new
administratively streamlined payment methodology. Effective July 1,
2013, or upon obtaining any necessary federal approval, but in no case
during the first quarter of a calendar year, the authority shall
implement an administratively streamlined payment methodology for
federally qualified health centers and rural health clinics. The
authority's payments to managed care organizations shall include the
full encounter payment comprised of both the standard and enhancement
payments for federally qualified health centers and rural health
clinics as defined in the medicaid state plan and in accordance with
section 1902(bb) of the social security act (42 U.S.C. 1396a(bb)). At
no time will a managed care organization be at risk for or have any
claim to the supplemental payment portion of the rate which will be
reconciled to ensure accurate payment and full pass through of the
obligated funds. For any services eligible for encounter payments, as
defined in the medicaid state plan, managed care organizations shall be
required to pay at least the full published encounter rates directly to
each clinic or center, and payments will be reconciled on at least an
annual basis between the managed care organization and the authority,
with final review and approval by the authority. At the option of any
clinic, the enhancement payment can be received from the managed care
organization on a per member per month basis for all assigned managed
care enrollees in an amount prescribed by the authority. Nothing in
this section is intended to disrupt mutually agreeable contractual
arrangements between managed care organizations and clinics that impact
how the standard payment for services is paid. The authority will
require participating managed care organizations to reimburse federally
qualified health centers and rural health clinics for clean claims in
strict adherence to the timeliness of payment standards established
under contract and specified for the medicaid fee-for-service program in section 1902(a)(37) of the social security act (42 U.S.C.
1396a(a)(37)), 42 C.F.R. Sec. 447.46, and specified for health carriers
in WAC 284-43-321. The authority shall exercise all necessary options
under its existing sanctions policy to enforce timely payment of
claims. The authority shall ensure necessary staff and resources are
identified to actively monitor and enforce the timeliness and accuracy
of payments to federally qualified health centers and rural health
clinics. By January 1, 2014, and after collaboration with federally
qualified health centers, rural health clinics, managed care plans, and
the centers for medicare and medicaid services, the authority will
produce a report that provides options for a new payment methodology
that rewards innovation and outcomes over volume of services delivered,
and which maintains the integrity of the rural health clinic and
federally qualified health center programs as outlined under federal
law. The report will detail necessary federal authority for
implementation and provide the benefits and drawbacks of each option.
(46) $3,605,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal
year 2014 is provided solely to proportionally reduce the amounts that
rural health clinics owe the state under the calendar year 2009
recoupment.
(47) Sufficient amounts are appropriated in this section to remove
the mental health visit limit and to provide the shingles vaccine and
screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment benefits that
are available in the medicaid alternative benefit plan in the current
medicaid benefit plan beginning January 1, 2014. The authority shall
monitor the costs of the habilitative benefit as part of the
forecasting process but shall not provide this benefit in the current
medicaid benefit plan without a direct appropriation in the omnibus
appropriations act.
(48) The appropriations in this section reflect savings and
efficiencies achieved by modifying dispensing methods of contraceptive
drugs. The authority must make arrangements for all medicaid programs
offered through managed care plans or fee-for-service programs to
require dispensing of contraceptive drugs with a one-year supply
provided at one time unless a patient requests a smaller supply or the
prescribing physician instructs that the patient must receive a smaller
supply. Contracts with managed care plans must allow on-site
dispensing of the prescribed contraceptive drugs at family planning clinics. Dispensing practices must follow clinical guidelines for
appropriate prescribing and dispensing to ensure the health of the
patient while maximizing access to effective contraceptive drugs.
(49)(a) $75,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal
year 2014 and $75,000 of the general fund--federal appropriation are
provided solely for preparing options with an expert consultant for
possible implementation of a targeted premium assistance program and
possible implementation of the federal basic health option. $75,000 of
the amounts appropriated in this subsection is provided solely for the
development of options related to the targeted premium assistance
program. The authority shall develop options for a waiver request to
the federal centers for medicare and medicaid services to implement a
targeted premium assistance program for the expansion adults,
identified in section 1902(a)(10)(A)(i)(VIII) of the social security
act, with incomes above one hundred percent of the federal poverty
level, and for children covered in the children's health insurance
program with incomes above two hundred percent of the federal poverty
level, with a goal of providing seamless coverage through the health
benefit exchange and improving opportunities for families to be covered
in the same health plans. The options must include the possibility of
applying premiums for individuals and cost-sharing that may exceed the
five percent of family income cap under federal law, and the options
must include recommendations to make the targeted premium assistance
program cost neutral. The authority shall submit a report on the
options to the legislature and the governor by January 1, 2014. The
authority is encouraged to be creative, use subject matter experts, and
exhaust all possible options to achieve cost neutrality. The report
shall also include a detailed plan and timeline. $75,000 of the
amounts appropriated in this subsection is provided solely for the
development of options related to the federal basic health option. The
authority shall prepare options for implementing the federal basic
health option as federal guidance becomes available. The authority
shall submit a report on the options to the legislature and the
governor by January 1, 2014, or ninety days following the release of
federal guidance. The report must include a comparison of the premiums
and cost-sharing under the federal basic health option with the premium
assistance options described in this subsection, options for
implementing the federal basic health option in combination with a premium assistance program, a detailed fiscal analysis for each
coverage approach, including the estimated costs for system design and
implementation, and information about impacted populations.
(b) Where possible, the authority shall leverage the same expert
consultants to review each proposal and compare and contrast the
approaches to ensure seamless coordination with the health benefit
exchange.
(c) The authority shall collaborate with the joint select committee
on health care oversight in the development of these options.

programs and makes recommendations for improving public safety and
decreasing recidivism through increasing participation in partial
confinement re-entry and work release programs. In making its
recommendations, the department shall identify:
(i) Options for increasing the capacity of work release beds to
meet the number of eligible offenders;
(ii) Potential cost savings to the state through contracting for or
building new work release capacity;
(iii) Options for expanding eligibility for partial confinement,
including creation of a structured re-entry program that includes
stable housing, mandatory participation in evidence-based programs, and
intensive supervision; and
(iv) Potential cost savings to the state from creation of a
structured re-entry program.
(e) By December 1, 2013, the department of corrections shall
provide a report to the office of financial management and the
appropriate fiscal and policy committees of the legislature that
evaluates the department's community parenting alternative program, and
makes recommendations for increasing participation in the program with
the goals of increasing public safety and decreasing recidivism. The
evaluation shall include recommendations for increasing the placement
of eligible offenders into the program and increasing eligibility to
other populations. In making its recommendations, the department shall
identify the percent of the eligible population currently entering the
program, outcomes to-date for program participants, and potential cost
savings from increasing placement of offenders into the program.
(f) The department of corrections shall contract with local and
tribal governments for the provision of jail capacity to house
offenders who violate the terms of their community supervision. A
contract shall not have a cost of incarceration in excess of $85 per
day per offender. A contract shall not have a year-to-year increase in
excess of three percent per year. The contracts may include rates for
the medical care of offenders which exceed the daily cost of
incarceration and the limitation on year-to-year increase, provided
that medical payments conform to the department's offender health plan,
pharmacy formulary, and all off-site medical expenses are preapproved
by department utilization management staff.
(g)(i) The legislature finds that it has taken several steps to
mitigate the demand for prison capacity including funding evidence-based programming for offenders which is proven to reduce recidivism,
funding evidence-based treatment alternatives to incarceration for
drug-addicted offenders, standardizing inconsistencies in the drug
sentencing grid, and authorizing the department to rent local jail
beds. These steps will also assist the department's implementation of
additional operational efficiencies by reducing costs related to
offender intake, processing, and transportation.
(ii) Up to $1,119,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for
fiscal year 2014 and up to $1,322,000 of the general fund--state
appropriation for fiscal year 2015 may be used by the department to
rent jail capacity for short-term offenders. In contracting for jail
beds for short-term offenders, the department shall rent capacity from
local and tribal governments to house offenders with an earned release
date of less than one hundred twenty days remaining on his or her
sentence at the time the offender would otherwise be transferred to a
state correctional facility. The contracted daily costs for these
offenders shall not exceed $70 per offender including medical costs.
(h) The department of corrections shall issue a competitive
solicitation by August 1, 2013, to contract with local jurisdictions
for the use of inmate bed capacity in lieu of prison beds operated by
the state. The department may contract for up to 300 beds statewide to
the extent that it is at no net cost to the department. The department
shall calculate and report the average cost per offender per day,
inclusive of all services, on an annual basis for a facility that is
representative of average medium or lower offender costs. The duration of the contracts may be for up to four years. The department shall not
pay a rate greater than $65 per day per offender for all costs
associated with the offender while in the local correctional facility
to include programming and health care costs, or the equivalent of $65
per day per bed including programming and health care costs for full
units. The capacity provided at local correctional facilities must be
for offenders whom the department of corrections defines as medium or
lower security offenders. Programming provided for inmates held in
local jurisdictions is included in the rate, and details regarding the
type and amount of programming, and any conditions regarding
transferring offenders will be negotiated with the department as part
of any contract. Local jurisdictions must provide health care to
offenders that meet standards set by the department. The local jail
will provide all medical care including unexpected emergent care. The
department must utilize a screening process to ensure that offenders
with existing extraordinary medical/mental health needs are not
transferred to local jail facilities. If extraordinary medical
conditions develop for an inmate while at a jail facility the jail may
transfer the offender back to the department, subject to terms of the
negotiated agreement. Health care costs incurred prior to transfer
will be the responsibility of the jail. The department will report to
legislative fiscal committees and the office of financial management by
November 1, 2013, to provide a status update on implementation.
(i) The department shall convene a work group to develop health
care cost containment strategies at local jail facilities. The work
group shall identify cost containment strategies in place at the
department and at local jail facilities, identify the costs and
benefits of implementing strategies in jail health-care facilities, and
make recommendations on implementing beneficial strategies. The work
group shall submit a report on its findings and recommendations to the
fiscal committees of the legislature by October 1, 2013. The work
group shall include jail administrators, representatives from health
care facilities at the local jail level and the state prisons level,
and other representatives as deemed necessary.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 719 FOR THE LEGISLATIVE TASK FORCE ON CAREER
EDUCATION OPPORTUNITIES
(1) The legislature finds that for too long, there has been a
perception that career readiness and college readiness represent two
separate and unequal tracks. The importance of providing high quality
opportunities for applied learning, work-integrated learning, cross-disciplinary curriculum, career exploration and planning, and career
and technical equivalence often appears subsumed by an emphasis on
theoretical academics. The legislature intends to create a vision for
the integration of career education alongside academic education.

is established with the following members:
(i) Two members from each of the largest caucuses of the house of

appointed by the president of the senate;
(iii) The superintendent of public instruction or a designee;
(iv) One representative each from the workforce training and
education coordinating board, state board of education, the student
achievement council, and the Washington association of career and
technical education; and
(v) One member appointed by the governor.
(b) The task force shall be cochaired by one house and one senate
member, selected by the members of the task force.
(3) The purpose of the task force is to identify strategies for how
education that supports career readiness, including but not limited to
career and technical education, may be better integrated into secondary
education opportunities for all students. The strategies to be
considered by the task force include state laws and policies,
graduation requirements, and state funding for instructional programs.
The task force must examine the barriers, incentives and disincentives,
costs, and cost-effectiveness of current policies and practices.
(4) The office of the superintendent of public instruction shall
identify a recommended list of course equivalencies for career and
technical education courses and submit the list to the task force under
this section by October 1, 2013.
(5) The task force shall examine at least the following:
(a) An analysis of the career and college ready graduation
requirements proposed by the state board of education and any
recommendations regarding graduation requirements;
(b) Options for expanding career education and career exploration
and planning into middle school;
(c) Options for increasing student and parent awareness of the
multiple education and career pathways available for students;
(d) Strategies for enhancing and supporting work-integrated
learning opportunities for students;
(e) Recommended policies that both support and provide appropriate
state oversight and strategic planning for career and technical
education offered in middle schools, comprehensive high schools, and
skill centers; and
(f) Recommendations for how to maximize statewide use of the list
of career and technical education course equivalencies identified by
the office of the superintendent of public instruction.
(6) A preliminary report from the task force is due December 15,
2013, to include initial analysis and a plan for completion of the
final report. A final report is due September 1, 2014.
(7) The task force shall coordinate its analysis and
recommendations with other studies of career and technical education
delivery models and financing, including financing of capital
facilities.
(8) Staff support for the task force must be provided by senate
committee services and the house of representatives office of program
research, with assistance from the office of the superintendent of
public instruction, the student achievement council, and the workforce
training and education coordinating board as necessary.
(9) Legislative members of the task force may be reimbursed for
travel expenses in accordance with RCW 44.04.120. The expenses of the
task force must be paid jointly by the senate and the house of
representatives. Task force expenditures are subject to approval by the senate facilities and operations committee and the house of
representatives executive rules committee.

behalf of all the employees in bargaining units that the exclusive
bargaining representative represents. For those exclusive bargaining

request for funds to implement a collective bargaining agreement unless
the request is transmitted to the legislature as part of the governor's
budget document submitted under RCW 43.88.030 and 43.88.060. If the
legislature rejects or fails to act on the submission, either party may

institutions of higher education other than the University of

bargaining agreements, the governor shall submit a request for such
funds to the legislature according to the provisions of subsection (3)
of this section, except as provided in (c)(iii) of this subsection.

governor unless the request has been submitted to the director of the
office of financial management by October 1 prior to the legislative
session at which the request is to be considered.
(B) If appropriations of ten thousand dollars or more are necessary
to implement the provisions of a bargaining agreement, a request for

management by October 1 prior to the legislative session at which the
request is to be considered; and
(II) Has been certified by the director of the office of financial
management as being feasible financially for the state.
(C) If the director of the office of financial management does not
certify a request under (c)(ii)(B) of this subsection as being feasible
financially for the state, the parties shall enter into collective
bargaining solely for the purpose of reaching a mutually agreed upon
modification of the agreement necessary to address the absence of those
requested funds. The legislature may act upon the compensation and
fringe benefit provisions of the modified collective bargaining
agreement if those provisions are agreed upon and submitted to the
office of financial management and legislative budget committees before
final legislative action on the biennial or supplemental operating
budget by the sitting legislature.
(iii) In the case of a bargaining unit of employees of institutions
of higher education in which the exclusive bargaining representative is
certified during or after the conclusion of a legislative session, the
legislature may act upon the compensation and fringe benefit provisions
of the unit's initial collective bargaining agreement if those
provisions are agreed upon and submitted to the office of financial
management and legislative budget committees before final legislative
action on the biennial or supplemental operating budget by the sitting
legislature.
(5) There is hereby created a joint committee on employment
relations, which consists of two members with leadership positions in

appropriations committee, or its successor, representing each of the
two largest caucuses; two members with leadership positions in the
senate, representing each of the two largest caucuses; and the chair
and ranking minority member of the senate ways and means committee, or

governor shall periodically consult with the committee regarding
appropriations necessary to implement the compensation and fringe
benefit provisions in the master collective bargaining agreements, and
upon completion of negotiations, advise the committee on the elements
of the agreements and on any legislation necessary to implement the
agreements.
(6) If, after the compensation and fringe benefit provisions of an
agreement are approved by the legislature, a significant revenue
shortfall occurs resulting in reduced appropriations, as declared by
proclamation of the governor or by resolution of the legislature, both
parties shall immediately enter into collective bargaining for a
mutually agreed upon modification of the agreement.
(7) After the expiration date of a collective bargaining agreement
negotiated under this chapter, all of the terms and conditions
specified in the collective bargaining agreement remain in effect until
the effective date of a subsequently negotiated agreement, not to
exceed one year from the expiration date stated in the agreement.
Thereafter, the employer may unilaterally implement according to law.
(8) For the ((2011-2013)) 2013-2015 fiscal biennium, a collective
bargaining agreement related to employee health care benefits
negotiated between the employer and coalition pursuant to RCW
41.80.020(3) regarding the dollar amount expended on behalf of each
employee shall be a separate agreement for which the governor may
request funds necessary to implement the agreement. ((If such an
agreement is negotiated and funded by the legislature, this agreement
will supersede any terms and conditions of an expired 2009-2011
biennial master collective bargaining agreement under this chapter
regarding health care benefits.)) The legislature may act upon a
2013-2015 collective bargaining agreement related to employee health
care benefits if an agreement is reached and submitted to the office of
financial management and legislative budget committees before final legislative action on the biennial or supplemental operating
appropriations act by the sitting legislature.
Sec. 972 RCW 41.80.020 and 2011 1st sp.s. c 50 s 939 and 2011 1st
sp.s. c 43 s 445 are each reenacted and amended to read as follows:
(1) Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, the matters
subject to bargaining include wages, hours, and other terms and
conditions of employment, and the negotiation of any question arising
under a collective bargaining agreement.
(2) The employer is not required to bargain over matters pertaining
to:
(a) Health care benefits or other employee insurance benefits,
except as required in subsection (3) of this section;
(b) Any retirement system or retirement benefit; or
(c) Rules of the human resources director, the director of
enterprise services, or the Washington personnel resources board
adopted under RCW 41.06.157.
(3) Matters subject to bargaining include the number of names to be
certified for vacancies, promotional preferences, and the dollar amount
expended on behalf of each employee for health care benefits. However,
except as provided otherwise in this subsection for institutions of
higher education, negotiations regarding the number of names to be
certified for vacancies, promotional preferences, and the dollar amount
expended on behalf of each employee for health care benefits shall be
conducted between the employer and one coalition of all the exclusive
bargaining representatives subject to this chapter. The exclusive
bargaining representatives for employees that are subject to chapter
47.64 RCW shall bargain the dollar amount expended on behalf of each
employee for health care benefits with the employer as part of the
coalition under this subsection. Any such provision agreed to by the
employer and the coalition shall be included in all master collective
bargaining agreements negotiated by the parties. For institutions of
higher education, promotional preferences and the number of names to be
certified for vacancies shall be bargained under the provisions of RCW

fiscal biennium, any agreement between the employer and the coalition
regarding the dollar amount expended on behalf of each employee for health care benefits is a separate agreement and shall not be included
in the master collective bargaining agreements negotiated by the
parties.
(4) The employer and the exclusive bargaining representative shall
not agree to any proposal that would prevent the implementation of
approved affirmative action plans or that would be inconsistent with
the comparable worth agreement that provided the basis for the salary
changes implemented beginning with the 1983-1985 biennium to achieve
comparable worth.
(5) The employer and the exclusive bargaining representative shall
not bargain over matters pertaining to management rights established in
RCW 41.80.040.
(6) Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, if a conflict
exists between an executive order, administrative rule, or agency
policy relating to wages, hours, and terms and conditions of employment
and a collective bargaining agreement negotiated under this chapter,
the collective bargaining agreement shall prevail. A provision of a
collective bargaining agreement that conflicts with the terms of a
statute is invalid and unenforceable.
(7) This section does not prohibit bargaining that affects
contracts authorized by RCW 41.06.142.

uniform allocation rate for all funds and accounts; except that the
state treasurer may negotiate a different allocation rate with any state agency that has independent authority over funds not statutorily
required to be held in the state treasury or in the custody of the
state treasurer. In no event shall the rate be less than the actual
costs incurred by the state treasurer's office. If no rate is
separately negotiated, the default rate for any funds held shall be the
rate set for funds held pursuant to statute.
During the 2009-2011 fiscal biennium and the 2011-2013 and 2013-2015 fiscal ((biennium)) biennia, the legislature may transfer from the

Sec. 981 RCW 43.82.010 and 2007 c 506 s 8 are each amended to
read as follows:
(1) The director of ((general administration)) enterprise services,
on behalf of the agency involved and after consultation with the office
of financial management, shall purchase, lease, lease purchase, rent,
or otherwise acquire all real estate, improved or unimproved, as may be
required by elected state officials, institutions, departments,
commissions, boards, and other state agencies, or federal agencies
where joint state and federal activities are undertaken and may grant
easements and transfer, exchange, sell, lease, or sublease all or part
of any surplus real estate for those state agencies which do not otherwise have the specific authority to dispose of real estate. This
section does not transfer financial liability for the acquired property
to the department of ((general administration)) enterprise services.
(2) Except for real estate occupied by federal agencies, the
director shall determine the location, size, and design of any real
estate or improvements thereon acquired or held pursuant to subsection
(1) of this section. Facilities acquired or held pursuant to this
chapter, and any improvements thereon, shall conform to standards
adopted by the director and approved by the office of financial
management governing facility efficiency unless a specific exemption
from such standards is provided by the director of ((general
administration)) enterprise services. The director of ((general
administration)) enterprise services shall report to the office of
financial management and the appropriate committees of the legislature
annually on any exemptions granted pursuant to this subsection.
(3) The director of ((general administration)) enterprise services
may fix the terms and conditions of each lease entered into under this
chapter, except that no lease shall extend greater than twenty years in
duration. The director of ((general administration)) enterprise
services may enter into a long-term lease greater than ten years in
duration upon a determination by the director of the office of
financial management that the long-term lease provides a more favorable
rate than would otherwise be available, it appears to a substantial
certainty that the facility is necessary for use by the state for the
full length of the lease term, and the facility meets the standards
adopted pursuant to subsection (2) of this section. The director of
((general administration)) enterprise services may enter into a long-term lease greater than ten years in duration if an analysis shows that
the life-cycle cost of leasing the facility is less than the life-cycle
cost of purchasing or constructing a facility in lieu of leasing the
facility.
(4) Except as permitted under chapter 39.94 RCW, no lease for or on
behalf of any state agency may be used or referred to as collateral or
security for the payment of securities offered for sale through a
public offering. Except as permitted under chapter 39.94 RCW, no lease
for or on behalf of any state agency may be used or referred to as
collateral or security for the payment of securities offered for sale
through a private placement without the prior written approval of the state treasurer. However, this limitation shall not prevent a lessor
from assigning or encumbering its interest in a lease as security for
the repayment of a promissory note provided that the transaction would
otherwise be an exempt transaction under RCW 21.20.320. The state
treasurer shall adopt rules that establish the criteria under which any
such approval may be granted. In establishing such criteria the state
treasurer shall give primary consideration to the protection of the
state's credit rating and the integrity of the state's debt management
program. If it appears to the state treasurer that any lease has been
used or referred to in violation of this subsection or rules adopted
under this subsection, then he or she may recommend that the governor
cause such lease to be terminated. The department of ((general
administration)) enterprise services shall promptly notify the state
treasurer whenever it may appear to the department that any lease has
been used or referred to in violation of this subsection or rules
adopted under this subsection.
(5) It is the policy of the state to encourage the colocation and
consolidation of state services into single or adjacent facilities,

shall provide coordinated long-range planning services to identify and
evaluate opportunities for colocating and consolidating state
facilities. Upon the renewal of any lease, the inception of a new
lease, or the purchase of a facility, the director of ((general
administration)) enterprise services shall determine whether an
opportunity exists for colocating the agency or agencies in a single
facility with other agencies located in the same geographic area. If
a colocation opportunity exists, the director of ((general
administration)) enterprise services shall consult with the affected
state agencies and the office of financial management to evaluate the
impact colocation would have on the cost and delivery of agency
programs, including whether program delivery would be enhanced due to
the centralization of services. The director of ((general
administration)) enterprise services, in consultation with the office
of financial management, shall develop procedures for implementing
colocation and consolidation of state facilities.
(7) The director of ((general administration)) enterprise services
is authorized to purchase, lease, rent, or otherwise acquire improved
or unimproved real estate as owner or lessee and to lease or sublet all
or a part of such real estate to state or federal agencies. The
director of ((general administration)) enterprise services shall charge
each using agency its proportionate rental which shall include an
amount sufficient to pay all costs, including, but not limited to,
those for utilities, janitorial and accounting services, and sufficient
to provide for contingencies; which shall not exceed five percent of
the average annual rental, to meet unforeseen expenses incident to
management of the real estate.
(8) If the director of ((general administration)) enterprise
services determines that it is necessary or advisable to undertake any
work, construction, alteration, repair, or improvement on any real
estate acquired pursuant to subsection (1) or (7) of this section, the
director shall cause plans and specifications thereof and an estimate
of the cost of such work to be made and filed in his or her office and
the state agency benefiting thereby is hereby authorized to pay for
such work out of any available funds: PROVIDED, That the cost of
executing such work shall not exceed the sum of twenty-five thousand
dollars. Work, construction, alteration, repair, or improvement in
excess of twenty-five thousand dollars, other than that done by the
owner of the property if other than the state, shall be performed in
accordance with the public works law of this state.
(9) In order to obtain maximum utilization of space, the director
of ((general administration)) enterprise services shall make space
utilization studies, and shall establish standards for use of space by
state agencies. Such studies shall include the identification of
opportunities for colocation and consolidation of state agency office
and support facilities.
(10) The director of ((general administration)) enterprise services
may construct new buildings on, or improve existing facilities, and
furnish and equip, all real estate under his or her management. Prior
to the construction of new buildings or major improvements to existing
facilities or acquisition of facilities using a lease purchase
contract, the director of ((general administration)) enterprise
services shall conduct an evaluation of the facility design and budget using life-cycle cost analysis, value-engineering, and other techniques
to maximize the long-term effectiveness and efficiency of the facility
or improvement.
(11) All conveyances and contracts to purchase, lease, rent,
transfer, exchange, or sell real estate and to grant and accept
easements shall be approved as to form by the attorney general, signed
by the director of ((general administration)) enterprise services or
the director's designee, and recorded with the county auditor of the
county in which the property is located.

advisable. By January 1st of each year, beginning January 1, 2008, the
department shall submit an annual report to the office of financial

the department of ((general administration)) enterprise services may
negotiate ground leases for public lands on which property is to be
acquired under a financing contract pursuant to chapter 39.94 RCW under
terms approved by the state finance committee.
(15) The department of ((general administration)) enterprise
services shall report annually to the office of financial management and the appropriate fiscal committees of the legislature on facility

terms, and annual lease costs. The report must include leases executed
under RCW 43.82.045 and subsection (12) of this section.

(1) The criminal justice treatment account is created in the state
treasury. Moneys in the account may be expended solely for: (a)
Substance abuse treatment and treatment support services for offenders

the account shall be distributed as grants for purposes of treating
offenders against whom charges are filed by a county prosecuting
attorney. The division shall appoint a panel of representatives from
the Washington association of prosecuting attorneys, the Washington
association of sheriffs and police chiefs, the superior court judges'
association, the Washington state association of counties, the
Washington defender's association or the Washington association of
criminal defense lawyers, the department of corrections, the Washington
state association of drug court professionals, substance abuse
treatment providers, and the division. The panel shall review county
or regional plans for funding under (a) of this subsection and grants

(ii) Enter into a grant agreement with a local government
conducting a remedial action that provides for periodic reimbursement
of remedial action costs as they are incurred as established in the
agreement;

incentives for local governments to expedite cleanups when one of the
following conditions exists:
(A) Funding would prevent or mitigate unfair economic hardship
imposed by the clean-up liability;
(B) Funding would create new substantial economic development,
public recreational opportunities, or habitat restoration opportunities
that would not otherwise occur; or
(C) Funding would create an opportunity for acquisition and
redevelopment of brownfield property under RCW 70.105D.040(5) that
would not otherwise occur;

moneys collected under RCW 82.21.030 shall be allocated only for public
participation grants to persons who may be adversely affected by a
release or threatened release of a hazardous substance and to not-for-profit public interest organizations. The primary purpose of these
grants is to facilitate the participation by persons and organizations
in the investigation and remedying of releases or threatened releases
of hazardous substances and to implement the state's solid and
hazardous waste management priorities. No grant may exceed sixty
thousand dollars. Grants may be renewed annually. Moneys appropriated
for public participation that are not expended at the close of any
biennium revert to the state toxics control account.

of financial assistance by August 1, 2013. To ensure the adoption of rules will not delay financial assistance, the department may
administer the award of financial assistance through interpretive
guidance pending the adoption of rules through July 1, 2014.
(9) Except as provided under subsection (3)(k) and (q) of this
section, nothing in chapter 1, Laws of 2013 2nd sp. sess. effects the
ability of a potentially liable person to receive public funding.

of reserves necessary to fund commitments made to provide financial
assistance under RCW 70.148.130 to the extent that the financial
assistance reserves do not jeopardize the operations and liabilities of
the pollution liability insurance program. The director shall notify
the department of revenue of this amount by the fifteenth day of each
calendar quarter. The director may immediately establish an initial
financial assistance reserve of five million dollars from available
revenues. The director may not expend more than fifteen million
dollars for the financial assistance program.
(([(4)])) (4) During the 2013-2015 fiscal biennium, the legislature
may transfer from the pollution liability insurance program trust
account to the state general fund such amounts as reflect the excess
fund balance of the account.

Sec. 994 RCW 71.24.310 and 2009 c 564 s 1810 and 2009 c 564 s 952
are each reenacted and amended to read as follows:
The legislature finds that administration of chapter 71.05 RCW and
this chapter can be most efficiently and effectively implemented as
part of the regional support network defined in RCW 71.24.025. For
this reason, the legislature intends that the department and the
regional support networks shall work together to implement chapter
71.05 RCW as follows:
(1) By June 1, 2006, regional support networks shall recommend to
the department the number of state hospital beds that should be
allocated for use by each regional support network. The statewide
total allocation shall not exceed the number of state hospital beds
offering long-term inpatient care, as defined in this chapter, for
which funding is provided in the biennial appropriations act.
(2) If there is consensus among the regional support networks
regarding the number of state hospital beds that should be allocated
for use by each regional support network, the department shall contract
with each regional support network accordingly.
(3) If there is not consensus among the regional support networks
regarding the number of beds that should be allocated for use by each
regional support network, the department shall establish by emergency
rule the number of state hospital beds that are available for use by
each regional support network. The emergency rule shall be effective
September 1, 2006. The primary factor used in the allocation shall be
the estimated number of adults with acute and chronic mental illness in
each regional support network area, based upon population-adjusted
incidence and utilization.
(4) The allocation formula shall be updated at least every three
years to reflect demographic changes, and new evidence regarding the
incidence of acute and chronic mental illness and the need for long-term inpatient care. In the updates, the statewide total allocation
shall include (a) all state hospital beds offering long-term inpatient
care for which funding is provided in the biennial appropriations act;
plus (b) the estimated equivalent number of beds or comparable
diversion services contracted in accordance with subsection (5) of this
section.
(5) The department is encouraged to enter performance-based
contracts with regional support networks to provide some or all of the
regional support network's allocated long-term inpatient treatment
capacity in the community, rather than in the state hospital. The
performance contracts shall specify the number of patient days of care
available for use by the regional support network in the state
hospital.
(6) If a regional support network uses more state hospital patient
days of care than it has been allocated under subsection (3) or (4) of
this section, or than it has contracted to use under subsection (5) of
this section, whichever is less, it shall reimburse the department for
that care, except during the period of July 1, 2012, through December
31, 2013, where reimbursements may be temporarily altered per section
204 of this act. The reimbursement rate per day shall be the
hospital's total annual budget for long-term inpatient care, divided by
the total patient days of care assumed in development of that budget.
(7) One-half of any reimbursements received pursuant to subsection
(6) of this section shall be used to support the cost of operating the
state hospital and, during the 2007-2009 fiscal biennium, implementing
new services that will enable a regional support network to reduce its
utilization of the state hospital. The department shall distribute the
remaining half of such reimbursements among regional support networks
that have used less than their allocated or contracted patient days of
care at that hospital, proportional to the number of patient days of
care not used.
Sec. 995 RCW 74.09.215 and 2012 c 241 s 103 are each amended to

the state medicaid fraud false claims act, chapter 74.66 RCW must be
deposited into the account. Moneys in the account may be spent only
after appropriation and must be used only for medicaid services, fraud
detection and prevention activities, recovery of improper payments, and
for other medicaid fraud enforcement activities. For the 2013-2015 fiscal biennium, moneys in the account may be spent on inpatient and
outpatient rebasing and conversion to the tenth version of the
international classification of diseases.
Sec. 996 RCW 74.13.621 and 2009 c 564 s 954 are each amended to
read as follows:
(1) Within existing resources, the department shall establish an
oversight committee to monitor, guide, and report on kinship care
recommendations and implementation activities. The committee shall:
(a) Draft a kinship care definition that is restricted to persons
related by blood, marriage, or adoption, including marriages that have
been dissolved, or for a minor defined as an "Indian child" under the
federal Indian child welfare act (25 U.S.C. Sec. 1901 et seq.), the
definition of "extended family member" under the federal Indian child
welfare act, and a set of principles. If the committee concludes that
one or more programs or services would be more efficiently and
effectively delivered under a different definition of kin, it shall
state what definition is needed, and identify the program or service in
the report. It shall also provide evidence of how the program or
service will be more efficiently and effectively delivered under the
different definition. The department shall not adopt rules or policies
changing the definition of kin without authorizing legislation;
(b) Monitor and provide consultation on the implementation of
recommendations contained in the 2002 kinship care report, including
but not limited to the recommendations relating to legal and respite
care services and resources;

diversity is required. Other members shall include representatives of
the department, representatives of relevant state agencies, representatives of the private nonprofit and business sectors, child
advocates, representatives of Washington state Indian tribes as defined
under the federal Indian welfare act (25 U.S.C. Sec. 1901 et seq.), and

parents, and others who have an interest in these issues may also be
included.
(4) To the extent funding is available, the department may
reimburse nondepartmental members of the oversight committee for costs
incurred in participating in the meetings of the oversight committee.
(5) The kinship care oversight committee shall update the
legislature and governor annually on committee activities, with the
first update due by January 1, 2006.

Sec. 1004 RCW 82.14.310 and 2011 1st sp.s. c 50 s 970 are each
amended to read as follows:
(1) The county criminal justice assistance account is created in
the state treasury. Beginning in fiscal year 2000, the state treasurer
must transfer into the county criminal justice assistance account from
the general fund the sum of twenty-three million two hundred thousand
dollars divided into four equal deposits occurring on July 1, October
1, January 1, and April 1. For each fiscal year thereafter, the state
treasurer must increase the total transfer by the fiscal growth factor,
as defined in RCW 43.135.025, forecast for that fiscal year by the
office of financial management in November of the preceding year.
(2) The moneys deposited in the county criminal justice assistance
account for distribution under this section, less any moneys
appropriated for purposes under subsection (4) of this section, must be
distributed at such times as distributions are made under RCW 82.44.150
and on the relative basis of each county's funding factor as determined
under this subsection.
(a) 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 each one thousand in population, multiplied by
five-tenths.
(b) Under this section and RCW 82.14.320 and 82.14.330:
(i) The population of the county or city is as last determined by
the office of financial management;
(ii) 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 must be determined by the most recent annual report of
the courts of Washington, as published by the administrative office of
the courts;
(iv) Distributions and eligibility for distributions in the 1989-1991 biennium must be based on 1988 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. Future distributions must be based 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 must be expended
exclusively for criminal justice purposes and may 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 2001-2003 fiscal biennium, juvenile
dispositional hearings relating to petitions for at-risk youth,
truancy, and children in need of services. Existing funding for
purposes of this subsection is defined as calendar year 1989 actual
operating expenditures for criminal justice purposes. Calendar 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 control of the local jurisdiction receiving the
services, and major nonrecurring capital expenditures.
(4) Not more than five percent of the funds deposited to the county
criminal justice assistance account may be available for appropriations
for enhancements to the state patrol crime laboratory system and the
continuing costs related to these enhancements. Funds appropriated
from this account for such enhancements may not supplant existing funds
from the state general fund.
(5) During the 2011-2013 fiscal biennium, the amount that would
otherwise be transferred into the county criminal justice assistance
account from the general fund under subsection (1) of this section must
be reduced by 3.4 percent.
(6) During the 2013-2015 fiscal biennium, for the purposes of
substance abuse and other programs for offenders, the legislature may
appropriate from the county criminal justice assistance account such
amounts as are in excess of the amounts necessary to fully meet the
state's obligations to the counties and to the Washington state patrol.
Excess amounts in this account are not the result of subsection (5) of
this section.

chapter. During the 2013-2015 fiscal biennium, the legislature may
transfer from the flood control assistance account to the state general
fund such amounts as reflect the excess fund balance of the account.

Sec. 1201 2012 2nd sp.s. c 7 s 201 (uncodified) is amended to
read as follows:
FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL AND HEALTH SERVICES
(1) The appropriations to the department of social and health
services in this act shall be expended for the programs and in the
amounts specified in this act. Appropriations made in this act to the
department of social and health services shall initially be allotted as
required by this act. Subsequent allotment modifications shall not
include transfers of moneys between sections of this act except as
expressly 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
the legislative fiscal committees. As used in this subsection,
"unrestricted federal moneys" includes block grants and other funds
that federal law does not require to be spent on specifically defined
projects or matched on a formula basis by state funds.
(3)(a) The health care authority and the department are authorized
to develop an integrated health care program designed to slow the
progression of illness and disability and better manage medicaid
expenditures for the aged and disabled population. Under the
Washington medicaid integration partnership (WMIP) and the medicare
integrated care project (MICP), the health care authority and the department may combine and transfer such medicaid funds appropriated
under sections 204, 206, 208, and 213 of this act as may be necessary
to finance a unified health care plan for the WMIP and the MICP program
enrollment. The WMIP pilot projects shall not exceed a daily
enrollment of 6,000 persons, nor expand beyond one county during the
2011-2013 fiscal biennium. The amount of funding assigned 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, times the number of clients
enrolled. In implementing the WMIP and the MICP, the health care
authority and the department may: (i) Withhold from calculations of
"available resources" as set forth in RCW 71.24.025 a sum equal to the
capitated rate for enrolled individuals; and (ii) 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. The health care authority and the department shall
conduct an evaluation of the WMIP by October 15, 2012, and of the MICP
measuring changes in participant health outcomes, changes in patterns
of service utilization, participant satisfaction, participant access to
services, and the state fiscal impact.
(b) Effective January 1, 2013, if Washington has been selected to
participate in phase two of the federal demonstration project for
persons dually-eligible for both medicare and medicaid, the department
and the authority may initiate the MICP. Participation in the project
shall be limited to persons who are eligible for both medicare and
medicaid and to counties in which the county legislative authority has
agreed to the terms and conditions under which it will operate. The
purpose of the project shall be to demonstrate and evaluate ways to
improve care while reducing state expenditures for persons enrolled
both in medicare and medicaid. To that end, prior to initiating the
project, the department and the authority shall assure that state
expenditures shall be no greater on either a per person or total basis
than the state would otherwise incur. Individuals who are solely
eligible for medicaid may also participate if their participation is
agreed to by the health care authority, the department, and the county
legislative authority.
(4) The legislature finds that medicaid payment rates, as
calculated by the department pursuant to the appropriations in this
act, bear a reasonable relationship to the costs incurred by
efficiently and economically operated facilities for providing quality
services and will be sufficient to enlist enough providers so that care
and services are available to the extent that such care and services
are available to the general population in the geographic area. The
legislature finds that cost reports, payment data from the federal
government, historical utilization, economic data, and clinical input
constitute reliable data upon which to determine the payment rates.
(5) The department shall to the maximum extent practicable use the
same system for delivery of spoken-language interpreter services for
social services appointments as the one established for medical
appointments in section 213 of this act. When contracting directly
with an individual to deliver spoken language interpreter services, the
department shall only contract with language access providers who are
working at a location in the state and who are state-certified or
state-authorized, except that when such a provider is not available,
the department may use a language access provider who meets other
certifications or standards deemed to meet state standards, including
interpreters in other states.
(6)(a) The appropriations to the department of social and health
services in this act shall be expended for the programs and in the
amounts specified in this act. However, after May 1, ((2012)) 2013,
unless specifically prohibited by this act, the department may transfer
general fund--state appropriations for fiscal year ((2012)) 2013 among
programs after approval by the director of financial management.
However, the department shall not transfer state moneys that are
provided solely for a specified purpose except as expressly provided in
(b) of this subsection.
(b) To the extent that transfers under (a) of this subsection are
insufficient to fund actual expenditures in excess of fiscal year
((2012)) 2013 caseload forecasts and utilization assumptions in the
long-term care, foster care, adoptions support, medicaid personal care,
and child support programs, the department may transfer state moneys
that are provided solely for a specified purpose. The department shall
not transfer funds, and the director of financial management shall not
approve the transfer, unless the transfer is consistent with the objective of conserving, to the maximum extent possible, the
expenditure of state funds. The director of financial management shall
notify the appropriate fiscal committees of the senate and house of
representatives in writing seven days prior to approving any allotment
modifications or transfers under this subsection. The written
notification shall include a narrative explanation and justification of
the changes, along with expenditures and allotments by budget unit and
appropriation, both before and after any allotment modifications or
transfers.

(c) The juvenile rehabilitation administration and the juvenile
courts shall establish a block grant funding formula oversight
committee with equal representation from the juvenile rehabilitation
administration and the juvenile courts. The purpose of this committee
is to assess the ongoing implementation of the block grant funding
formula, utilizing data-driven decision making and the most current
available information. The committee will be cochaired by the juvenile
rehabilitation administration and the juvenile courts, who will also

achieve its purpose. Initial members will include one juvenile court
representative from the finance committee, the community juvenile accountability act committee, the risk assessment quality assurance
committee, the executive board of the Washington association of
juvenile court administrators, the Washington state center for court
research, and a representative of the superior court judges
association; two representatives from the juvenile rehabilitation
administration headquarters program oversight staff, two
representatives of the juvenile rehabilitation administration regional
office staff, one representative of the juvenile rehabilitation
administration fiscal staff and a juvenile rehabilitation
administration division director. The committee may make changes to
the formula categories other than the evidence-based program and
disposition alternative categories if it is determined the changes will
increase statewide service delivery or effectiveness of evidence-based
program or disposition alternative resulting in increased cost benefit
savings to the state. Long-term cost benefit must be considered.
Percentage changes may occur in the evidence-based program or
disposition alternative categories of the formula should it be
determined the changes will increase evidence-based program or
disposition alternative delivery and increase the cost benefit to the
state. These outcomes will also be considered in determining when
evidence-based expansion or special sex offender disposition
alternative funds should be included in the block grant or left
separate.
(d) The juvenile courts and administrative office of the courts
shall be responsible for collecting and distributing information and
providing access to the data systems to the juvenile rehabilitation
administration and the Washington state institute for public policy
related to program and outcome data. The juvenile rehabilitation
administration and the juvenile courts will work collaboratively to
develop program outcomes that reinforce the greatest cost benefit to
the state in the implementation of evidence-based practices and
disposition alternatives.
(8) The juvenile courts and administrative office of the courts
shall collect and distribute information related to program outcome and
provide access to these data systems to the juvenile rehabilitation
administration and Washington state institute for public policy.
Consistent with chapter 13.50 RCW, all confidentiality agreements
necessary to implement this information-sharing shall be approved within 30 days of the effective date of this section. The agreements
between administrative office of the courts, the juvenile courts, and
the juvenile rehabilitation administration shall be executed to ensure
that the juvenile rehabilitation administration receives the data that
the juvenile rehabilitation administration identifies as needed to
comply with this subsection. This includes, but is not limited to,
information by program at the statewide aggregate level, individual
court level, and individual client level for the purpose of the
juvenile rehabilitation administration providing quality assurance and
oversight for the locally committed youth block grant and associated
funds and at times as specified by the juvenile rehabilitation
administration as necessary to carry out these functions. The data
shall be provided in a manner that reflects the collaborative work the
juvenile rehabilitation administration and juvenile courts have
developed regarding program outcomes that reinforce the greatest cost
benefit to the state in the implementation of evidence-based practices
and disposition alternatives.
(9) The Washington association of juvenile court administrators and
the juvenile rehabilitation administration, in consultation with the
community juvenile accountability act advisory committee and the
Washington state institute for public policy, shall analyze and review
data elements available from the administrative office of the courts
for possible integration into the evidence-based program quality
assurance plans and processes. The administrative office of the
courts, the Washington association of juvenile court administrators,
and the juvenile rehabilitation administration shall provide
information necessary to complete the review and analysis. The
Washington association of juvenile court administrators and the
juvenile rehabilitation administration shall report the findings of
their review and analysis, as well as any recommendations, to the
legislature by December 1, 2012.

fiscal year 2012 and $109,341,000 of the general fund--state
appropriation for fiscal year 2013 are provided solely for persons and
services not covered by the medicaid program. This is a reduction of
$4,348,000 each fiscal year from the nonmedicaid funding that was
allocated for expenditure by regional support networks during fiscal
year 2011 prior to supplemental budget reductions. This $4,348,000
reduction shall be distributed among regional support networks
proportional to each network's share of the total state population. To
the extent possible, levels of regional support network spending shall
be maintained in the following priority order: (i) Crisis and
commitment services; (ii) community inpatient services; and (iii)
residential care services, including personal care and emergency
housing assistance.
(b) $6,590,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal
year 2012, $6,590,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for
fiscal year 2013, and $7,620,000 of the general fund--federal
appropriation are provided solely for the department and regional
support networks to continue to contract for implementation of high-intensity programs for assertive community treatment (PACT) teams. In
determining the proportion of medicaid and nonmedicaid funding provided
to regional support networks with PACT teams, the department shall
consider the differences between regional support networks in the
percentages of services and other costs associated with the teams that
are not reimbursable under medicaid. The department may allow regional
support networks which have nonmedicaid reimbursable costs that are
higher than the nonmedicaid allocation they receive under this section to supplement these funds with local dollars or funds received under
section 204(1)(a) of this act. The department and regional support
networks shall maintain consistency with all essential elements of the
PACT evidence-based practice model in programs funded under this
section.
(c) $5,850,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal
year 2012, $5,850,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for
fiscal year 2013, and $1,300,000 of the general fund--federal
appropriation are provided solely for the western Washington regional

support networks at eastern state hospital shall be 192 per day. The
number of nonforensic beds allocated for use by regional support
networks at western state hospital shall be 557 per day.
(e) From the general fund--state appropriations in this subsection,
the secretary of social and health services shall assure that regional

because of their psychiatric disability.
(f) $4,582,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal
year 2012 and $4,582,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for
fiscal year 2013 are provided solely for mental health services for

rather than through contracts with regional support networks, for
children's long-term inpatient facility services.
(h) $750,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal
year 2012 and $750,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for
fiscal year 2013 are provided solely to continue performance-based
incentive contracts to provide appropriate community support services
for individuals with severe mental illness who were discharged from the
state hospitals as part of the expanding community services initiative. These funds will be used to enhance community residential and support
services provided by regional support networks through other state and
federal funding.
(i) $1,125,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal
year 2012 and $1,125,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for
fiscal year 2013 are provided solely for the Spokane regional support

utilizers of psychiatric inpatient services, including those with co-occurring disorders and other special needs;
(ii) Crisis outreach and diversion services to stabilize in the
community individuals in crisis who are at risk of requiring inpatient
care or jail services;
(iii) Mental health services provided in nursing facilities to
individuals with dementia, and consultation to facility staff treating
those individuals; and
(iv) Services at the sixteen-bed evaluation and treatment facility.
At least annually, the Spokane regional support network shall
assess the effectiveness of these services in reducing utilization at
eastern state hospital, identify services that are not optimally
effective, and modify those services to improve their effectiveness.
(j) $1,529,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal
year 2012 and $1,529,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for
fiscal year 2013 are provided solely to reimburse Pierce and Spokane
counties for the cost of conducting 180-day commitment hearings at the

range, and provided that the enhanced funding is used only to provide
medicaid state plan or waiver services to medicaid clients.
Additionally, regional support networks may use a portion of the state
funds allocated in accordance with (a) of this subsection to earn
additional medicaid match, but only to the extent that the application
of such funds to medicaid services does not diminish the level of
crisis and commitment, community inpatient, residential care, and outpatient services presently available to persons not eligible for
medicaid.
(l) Given the recent approval of federal medicaid matching funds
for the disability lifeline and the alcohol and drug abuse treatment
support act programs, the department shall charge regional support
networks for only the state share rather than the total cost of
community psychiatric hospitalization for persons enrolled in those
programs.
(m) $750,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal
year 2012, $750,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal
year 2013, and $1,500,000 of the general fund--federal appropriation
are provided solely to adjust regional support network capitation rates
to account for the per diem rates actually paid for psychiatric care
provided at hospitals participating in the certified public expenditure
program operated pursuant to section 213 of this act.
(n) The appropriations in this section reflect efficiencies to be
achieved through voluntary consolidation of regional support networks
in accordance with Substitute House Bill No. 2139 (regional support
networks). Voluntary consolidation of regional support networks is
expected to result in administrative efficiencies and maximize dollars
available for direct services to individuals with mental illnesses
without corresponding increases in state appropriations.

funds appropriated for in-home care. The department shall reduce the
number of in-home hours authorized. The reduction shall be scaled
based on the acuity level of care recipients. The largest hour
reductions shall be to lower acuity patients and the smallest hour
reductions shall be to higher acuity patients.
(c) Amounts appropriated in this subsection are sufficient to
develop and implement the use of a consistent, statewide outcome-based
vendor contract for employment and day services by July 1, 2012. The
rates paid to vendors under this contract shall also be made
consistent. In its description of activities the agency shall include
activity listings and dollars appropriated for: Employment services,

(h) $75,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal
year 2012 and $75,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for
fiscal year 2013 are provided solely for the restoration of direct
support to local organizations that utilize parent-to-parent networks
and communication to promote access and quality of care for individuals
with developmental disabilities and their families.
(i) In accordance with Engrossed Substitute House Bill No. 1277
(licensed settings for vulnerable adults), adult family home license
fees are increased in fiscal years 2012 and 2013 to support the costs
of conducting licensure, inspection, and regulatory programs.
(i) The current annual renewal license fee for adult family homes
shall be increased to $100 per bed beginning in fiscal year 2012 and
$175 per bed beginning in fiscal year 2013. Adult family homes shall
receive a corresponding vendor rate increase per medicaid patient day
of $0.22 in fiscal year 2012 and $0.43 in fiscal year 2013, or the
amount necessary to fully fund the license fee increase for publicly
funded beds, pursuant to the most recent bed estimates maintained by
the department.
(ii) Beginning in fiscal year 2012, a processing fee of $2,750
shall be charged to each adult family home when the home is initially
licensed. This fee is nonrefundable.
(j) Clients with developmental disabilities have demonstrated a
need and a desire for a day services program as verified by over 900
clients currently accessing day programs through a long-term care
service model. In addition, every individual, to include those with a
developmental disability, should have the opportunity for meaningful
employment which allows them to contribute to their communities and to
become as self-sufficient as possible. Providing choice empowers
recipients of publicly funded services and their families by expanding
their degree of control over the services and supports they need.
The department shall work with legislators and stakeholders to
develop a new approach to employment and day services. The objective
of this plan is to ensure that adults with developmental disabilities
have optimum choices, and that employment and day offerings are
comprehensive enough to meet the needs of all clients currently served
on a home and community based waiver. The proposal shall be submitted
to the 2012 legislature for consideration and shall be constructed such
that a client ultimately receives employment, community access, or the
community day option but not more than one service at a time. The
proposal shall include options for program efficiencies within the
current employment and day structure and shall provide details on the
plan to implement a consistent, statewide outcome-based vendor contract
for employment and day services as specified in (c) of this subsection.

Sec. 1206 2012 2nd sp.s. c 7 s 206 (uncodified) is amended to
read as follows:
FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL AND HEALTH SERVICES -- AGING AND ADULT
SERVICES PROGRAM
General Fund -- State Appropriation (FY 2012) . . . . . . . . . . . . $791,493,000

TOTAL APPROPRIATION . . . . . . . . . . . . (($3,410,729,000))
$3,395,699,000
The appropriations in this section are subject to the following
conditions and limitations:
(1) For purposes of implementing chapter 74.46 RCW, the weighted
average nursing facility payment rate shall not exceed $170.37 for
fiscal year 2012 and shall not exceed (($171.43)) $171.09 for fiscal
year 2013, including the rate add-ons described in (a) and (b) of this
subsection. However, if the waiver requested from the federal centers
for medicare and medicaid services in relation to the safety net
assessment created by Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill No. 5581
(nursing home payments) is for any reason not approved and implemented,
the weighted average nursing facility payment rate shall not exceed
$159.87 for fiscal year 2012 and shall not exceed (($160.93)) $161.29
for fiscal year 2013. There will be no adjustments for economic trends
and conditions in fiscal years 2012 and 2013. The economic trends and conditions factor or factors defined in the biennial appropriations act
shall not be compounded with the economic trends and conditions factor
or factors defined in any other biennial appropriations acts before
applying it to the component rate allocations established in accordance
with chapter 74.46 RCW. When no economic trends and conditions factor
for either fiscal year is defined in a biennial appropriations act, no
economic trends and conditions factor or factors defined in any earlier
biennial appropriations act shall be applied solely or compounded to
the component rate allocations established in accordance with chapter
74.46 RCW.
(a) Within the funds provided, the department shall continue to
provide an add-on per medicaid resident day per facility not to exceed
$1.57. The add-on shall be used to increase wages, benefits, and/or
staffing levels for certified nurse aides; or to increase wages and/or
benefits for dietary aides, housekeepers, laundry aides, or any other
category of worker whose statewide average dollars-per-hour wage was
less than $15 in calendar year 2008, according to cost report data.
The add-on may also be used to address resulting wage compression for
related job classes immediately affected by wage increases to low-wage
workers. The department shall continue reporting requirements and a
settlement process to ensure that the funds are spent according to this
subsection.
(b) The department shall do a comparative analysis of the facility-based payment rates calculated on July 1, 2012, using the payment
methodology defined in chapter 74.46 RCW and as funded in the omnibus
appropriations act, excluding the comparative add-on, acuity add-on,
and safety net reimbursement, to the facility-based payment rates in
effect June 30, 2010. If the facility-based payment rate calculated on
July 1, 2012, is smaller than the facility-based payment rate on June
30, 2010, then the difference shall be provided to the individual
nursing facilities as an add-on payment per medicaid resident day.
(c) During the comparative analysis performed in subsection (b) of
this section, if it is found that the direct care rate for any facility
calculated using the payment methodology defined in chapter 74.46 RCW
and as funded in the omnibus appropriations act, excluding the
comparative add-on, acuity add-on, and safety net reimbursement, is
greater than the direct care rate in effect on June 30, 2010, then the facility shall receive a ten percent direct care rate add-on to
compensate that facility for taking on more acute clients than they
have in the past.
(d) The department shall provide a medicaid rate add-on to
reimburse the medicaid share of the skilled nursing facility safety net
assessment as a medicaid allowable cost. The nursing facility safety
net rate add-on may not be included in the calculation of the annual
statewide weighted average nursing facility payment rate.
(e) If the waiver requested from the federal centers for medicare
and medicaid services in relation to the safety net assessment created
by Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill No. 5581 (nursing home payments) is
for any reason not approved and implemented, (b), (c), and (d) of this
subsection do not apply.
(2) After examining actual nursing facility cost information, the
legislature finds that the medicaid nursing facility rates calculated
pursuant to Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill No. 5581 (nursing home
payments) provide sufficient reimbursement to efficiently and
economically operating nursing facilities and bear a reasonable
relationship to costs.
(3) In accordance with chapter 74.46 RCW, the department shall
issue no additional certificates of capital authorization for fiscal
year 2012 and no new certificates of capital authorization for fiscal
year 2013 and shall grant no rate add-ons to payment rates for capital
improvements not requiring a certificate of need and a certificate of
capital authorization for fiscal years 2012 and 2013.
(4) The long-term care program may develop and pay enhanced rates
for exceptional care to nursing homes for persons with traumatic brain
injuries who are transitioning from hospital care. The cost per
patient day for caring for these clients in a nursing home setting may
be equal to or less than the cost of caring for these clients in a
hospital setting.
(5) Amounts appropriated in this section reflect a reduction to
funds appropriated for in-home care. The department shall reduce the
number of in-home hours authorized. The reduction shall be scaled
based on the acuity level of care recipients. The largest hour
reductions shall be to lower acuity patients and the smallest hour
reductions shall be to higher acuity patients.
(6) $1,883,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal
year 2012, $1,883,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for
fiscal year 2013, and $3,766,000 of the general fund--federal
appropriation are provided solely for state contributions for
individual provider health care benefits. Pursuant to the collective
bargaining agreement negotiated with the exclusive bargaining
representative of individual providers established under RCW
74.39A.270, the state shall contribute to the multiemployer health
benefits trust fund $2.21 per paid hour worked by individual providers.
(7) $2,449,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal
year 2012, $3,012,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for
fiscal year 2013, and $5,463,000 of the general fund--federal
appropriation are provided solely for the state's contribution to the
training partnership, as provided in RCW 74.39A.360, for instructional
costs associated with the training of individual providers.
Contributions are funded at $0.22 per benefit-eligible paid hour worked
by all home care workers. Expenditures for the purposes specified in
this subsection shall not exceed the amounts provided in this
subsection. However, if the governor and the service employees
international union healthcare 775nw can reach agreement on repurposing
funding that is currently provided in the individual provider
collective bargaining agreement for new individual provider wages paid
during training or other training related items, then expenditures for
training trust contributions for individual providers may include the
amounts provided in this subsection and the agreed upon repurposed
funding. Funding in this section for purposes other than the
individual provider collective bargaining agreement cannot be used for
the purposes of this subsection (7). It is the intent of the
legislature that the funding provided in this subsection, including any
repurposed funding, is sufficient to cover the costs of individual
provider training and therefore tuition or other entrance fees are not
necessary.
(8) (($338,550,000)) $325,203,000 of the general fund--state
appropriation for fiscal year 2013 and (($338,550,000)) $324,653,000 of
the general fund--federal appropriation are provided solely for the
department to provide personal care services to waiver and nonwaiver
in-home clients. The department shall provide the legislature with a

as found in section 1915(i) of the federal social security act that
utilizes the option for self-direction of individualized budgets. The
department shall operate the personal care program within the amounts
specifically provided.
(9) Individuals receiving services as supplemental security income
(SSI) state supplemental payments shall not become eligible for medical
assistance under RCW 74.09.510 due solely to the receipt of SSI state

under the state plan 1915(i) option and shall reestablish it under the

constitute substantial barriers to community placement, who no longer
require active psychiatric treatment at an inpatient hospital level of
care, and who no longer meet the criteria for inpatient involuntary
commitment.
(12) $1,840,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal
year 2012 and $1,877,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for
fiscal year 2013 are provided solely for operation of the volunteer
services program. Funding shall be prioritized towards serving
populations traditionally served by long-term care services to include
senior citizens and persons with disabilities.

medicaid patient day to cover the license fee increase for publicly
funded beds.

home care workers with family incomes below 200 percent of the federal
poverty level shall be allowed to enroll in the basic health plan at
the minimum premium amount charged to enrollees with incomes below
sixty-five percent of the federal poverty level.
(3) The health care authority shall require organizations and
individuals that are paid to deliver basic health plan services and
that choose to sponsor enrollment in the subsidized basic health plan

(4)(a) $1,200,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for
fiscal year 2012 is provided solely to plan the implementation of a
system of consolidated public school employee health benefits
purchasing.
It is the intent of the legislature to improve the administration,

savings that result from changes to K-12 health benefits be dedicated
to public schools.
To further this legislative intent, the state health care authority

equity for all school employees;
(vi) Recommendations regarding the use of incentives, including how

employee benefit plan, with separate options for voluntary
participation and mandatory statewide participation;
(viii) Recommendations regarding methods to reduce inequities
between individual and family coverage;

including administrative and statutory changes necessary to ensure a
successful transition, and whether the pool should be separate from, or

oversight to the consolidated pool, in a manner similar to the public
employees benefits board functions for employee health benefits,
including statutory duties and authorities of the board; and
(C) Options for including potential changes to: Eligibility
standardization, the public employees benefits risk pools, the movement

legislature.
(5) The administrator shall take at least the following actions to
assure that persons participating in the basic health plan are eligible
for the level of assistance they receive: (a) Require submission of
(i) income tax returns, and recent pay history, from all applicants, or
(ii) other verifiable evidence of earned and unearned income from those
persons not required to file income tax returns; (b) check employment
security payroll records at least once every twelve months on all
enrollees; (c) require enrollees whose income as indicated by payroll

their current income as a condition of continued eligibility; (d)
require enrollees for whom employment security payroll records cannot
be obtained to document their current income at least once every six

provided in RCW 70.47.060(9).
(6) Enrollment in the subsidized basic health plan shall be limited
to only include persons who qualify as subsidized enrollees as defined
in RCW 70.47.020 and who (a) qualify for services under 1115 medicaid demonstration project number 11-W-00254/10; or (b) are foster parents
licensed under chapter 74.15 RCW.
(7) $23,700,000 of the general fund--federal appropriation is
provided solely for planning and implementation of a health benefit
exchange under the federal patient protection and affordable care act.
Within the amounts provided in this subsection, funds used by the
authority for information technology projects are conditioned on the
authority satisfying the requirements of Engrossed Second Substitute
Senate Bill No. 5931 (central service agencies).
(8) Based on quarterly expenditure reports and caseload forecasts,
if the health care authority estimates that expenditures for the
medical assistance program will exceed the appropriations, the health
care authority shall take steps including but not limited to reduction
of rates or elimination of optional services to reduce expenditures so
that total program costs do not exceed the annual appropriation
authority.
(9) In determining financial eligibility for medicaid-funded
services, the health care authority is authorized to disregard
recoveries by Holocaust survivors of insurance proceeds or other
assets, as defined in RCW 48.104.030.
(10) The legislature affirms that it is in the state's interest for
Harborview medical center to remain an economically viable component of
the state's health care system.
(11) When a person is ineligible for medicaid solely by reason of

authority shall provide the person with the same benefits as he or she
would receive if eligible for medicaid, using state-only funds to the
extent necessary.
(12) $4,261,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal
year 2012, $4,261,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for
fiscal year 2013, and $8,522,000 of the general fund--federal
appropriation are provided solely for low-income disproportionate share
hospital payments ((under RCW 74.09.730(1)(a))).
(13) $6,000,000 of the general fund -- federal appropriation is
provided solely for supplemental payments to nursing homes operated by
public hospital districts. The public hospital district shall be
responsible for providing the required nonfederal match for the
supplemental payment, and the payments shall not exceed the maximum allowable under federal rules. It is the legislature's intent that the
payments shall be supplemental to and shall not in any way offset or
reduce the payments calculated and provided in accordance with part E
of chapter 74.46 RCW. It is the legislature's further intent that
costs otherwise allowable for rate-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 health care
authority's discretion. During either the interim cost settlement or
the final cost settlement, the health care authority shall recoup from
the public hospital districts the supplemental payments that exceed the
medicaid cost limit and/or the medicare upper payment limit. The
health care authority shall apply federal rules for identifying the
eligible incurred medicaid costs and the medicare upper payment limit.
(14) The health care authority shall continue the inpatient
hospital certified public expenditures program for the 2011-2013 fiscal
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
health care authority shall submit reports to the governor and
legislature by November 1, 2011, and by November 1, 2012, 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 health care authority 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 2012 and fiscal
year 2013, hospitals in the program shall be paid and shall retain 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 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 based on the
reimbursement rates developed, implemented, and consistent with
policies approved in the 2011-13 biennial operating appropriations act
and in effect on July 1, 2011, (b) one half of the indigent assistance
disproportionate share hospital payment amounts paid to and retained by
each hospital during fiscal year 2005, and (c) all of the other
disproportionate share hospital payment amounts paid to and retained by
each hospital during fiscal year 2005 to the extent the same
disproportionate share hospital programs exist in the 2011-13 biennium.
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.
$8,102,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year
2012, of which $6,570,000 is appropriated in section 204(1) of this
act, and (($3,162,000)) $10,498,000 of the general fund--state
appropriation for fiscal year 2013, of which $6,570,000 is appropriated
in section 204(1) of this act, are provided solely for state grants for
the participating hospitals. CPE hospitals will receive the inpatient
and outpatient reimbursement rate restorations in RCW 74.60.080 and
rate increases in RCW 74.60.090 funded through the hospital safety net
assessment fund rather than through the baseline mechanism specified in
this subsection.
(15) The health care authority shall seek public-private
partnerships and federal funds that are or may become available to
provide on-going support for outreach and education efforts under the
federal children's health insurance program reauthorization act of
2009.
(16) The health care authority shall target funding for maternity
support services towards pregnant women with factors that lead to
higher rates of poor birth outcomes, including hypertension, a preterm
or low birth weight birth in the most recent previous birth, a
cognitive deficit or developmental disability, substance abuse, severe
mental illness, unhealthy weight or failure to gain weight, tobacco
use, or African American or Native American race. The health care
authority shall prioritize evidence-based practices for delivery of
maternity support services. To the extent practicable, the health care
authority shall develop a mechanism to increase federal funding for
maternity support services by leveraging local public funding for those
services.
(17) ((For children with family incomes above 200 percent of the
federal poverty level in the state-funded children's health program for
children who are not eligible for coverage under the federally funded
children's health insurance program, premiums shall be set every two
years in an amount equal to the average state-only share of the per
capita cost of coverage in the state-funded children's health program
for children in families with incomes at or less than two hundred
percent of the federal poverty level.)) Within the amounts appropriated in this section, the health
care authority shall provide disproportionate share hospital payments
to hospitals that provide services to children in the children's health
program who are not eligible for services under Title XIX or XXI of the
federal social security act due to their citizenship status.

provided in this section, the authority, in consultation with the Washington state hospital association, the Washington state medical
association, and the Washington chapter of the American college of
emergency physicians shall designate best practices and performance
measures to reduce medically unnecessary emergency room visits of
medicaid clients. The Washington state hospital association, the
Washington state medical association, and the Washington chapter of the
American college of emergency physicians will work with the authority
to promote these best practices. The best practices and performance
measures shall consist of the following items:
(a) Adoption of a system to exchange patient information among
emergency room departments on a regional or statewide basis;
(b) Active dissemination of patient educational materials produced
by the Washington state hospital association, Washington state medical
association, and the Washington chapter of the American college of
emergency physicians that instruct patients on appropriate facilities
for nonemergent health care needs;
(c) Designation of hospital personnel and emergency room physician
personnel to receive and appropriately disseminate information on
clients participating in the medicaid patient review and coordination
program and to review monthly utilization reports on those clients
provided by the authority;
(d) A process to assist the authority's patient review and
coordination program clients with their care plans. The process must
include substantial efforts by hospitals to schedule an appointment
with the client's assigned primary care provider within seventy-two
hours of the client's medically unnecessary emergency room visit when
appropriate under the client's care plan;
(e) Implementation of narcotic guidelines that incorporate the
Washington chapter of the American college of emergency physician
guidelines;
(f) Physician enrollment in the state's prescription monitoring
program, as long as the program is funded; and
(g) Designation of a hospital emergency department physician
responsible for reviewing the state's medicaid utilization management
feedback reports, which will include defined performance measures. The
emergency department physician and hospital will have a process to take
appropriate action in response to the information in the feedback
reports if performance measures are not met. The authority must develop feedback reports that include timely emergency room utilization
data such as visit rates, medically unnecessary visit rates (by
hospital and by client), emergency department imaging utilization
rates, and other measures as needed. The authority may utilize the
Robert Bree collaborative for assistance related to this best practice.
The requirements for best practices for a critical access hospital
should not include adoption of a system to exchange patient information
if doing so would pose a financial burden, and should not include
requirements related to the authority's patient review and coordination
program if the volume of those patients seen at the critical access
hospital are small.
Hospitals participating in this medicaid best practices program
shall submit to the authority a declaration from executive level
leadership indicating hospital adoption of and compliance with the best
practices enumerated above. In the declaration, hospitals will affirm
that they have in place written policies, procedures, or guidelines to
implement these best practices and are willing to share them upon
request. The declaration must also give consent for the authority to
disclose feedback reports and performance measures on its web site.
The authority shall submit a list of declaring hospitals to the
relevant policy and fiscal committees of the legislature by July 15,

from hospitals representing at least seventy-five percent of emergency
room visits by medicaid clients in fiscal year 2010, the authority may
implement a policy of nonpayment of medically unnecessary emergency
room visits, with appropriate client and clinical safeguards such as
exemptions and expedited prior authorization. The authority shall by
January 15, 2013, perform a preliminary fiscal analysis of trends in
implementing the best practices in this subsection, focusing on outlier
hospitals with high rates of unnecessary visits by medicaid clients,
high emergency room visit rates for patient review and coordination
clients, low rates of completion of treatment plans for patient review
and coordination clients assigned to the hospital, and high rates of
prescribed long-acting opiates. In cooperation with the leadership of
the hospital, medical, and emergency physician associations, additional
efforts shall be focused on assisting those outlier hospitals and
providers to achieve more substantial savings. The authority by January 15, 2013, will report to the legislature about whether assumed
savings based on preliminary trend and forecasted data are on target
and if additional best practices or other actions need to be
implemented.
If necessary, pursuant to RCW 34.05.350(1)(c), the authority may
employ emergency rulemaking to achieve the reductions assumed in the
appropriations under this section.
Nothing in this subsection shall in any way impact the authority's
ability to adopt and implement policies pertaining to the patient
review and coordination program.
(((46))) (42) The ((department)) authority shall seek a medicaid
state plan amendment to create a ((graduate medical education))
professional services supplemental payment managed care program for
professional services delivered to managed care recipients by
University of Washington medicine and other public professional
providers. This program shall be effective as soon as administratively
possible and shall operate concurrently with the existing professional
services supplemental payment program. ((Providers that participate in
the graduate medical education supplemental payment program are not
eligible to participate in the professional services supplemental
payment program.)) The ((department)) authority shall apply federal
rules for identifying the difference between ((current physician
encounter)) average commercial rates and fee-for-service medicaid
payments ((to participating providers and the applicable federal upper
payment limit)). This difference will be multiplied by the number of
managed care encounters and incorporated into the managed care plan
capitation rates by a certified actuary. The managed care plans will
pay the providers the difference attributable to the increased
capitation rate. Participating providers shall be solely responsible
for providing the local funds required to obtain federal matching
funds. Any incremental costs incurred by the ((department)) authority
in the development, implementation, and maintenance of this program
shall be the responsibility of the participating providers.
Participating providers shall retain the full amount of supplemental
payments provided under this program, net of any costs related to the
program that are disallowed due to audits or litigation against the
state.
(((47))) (43) The authority shall exclude antiretroviral drugs used
to treat HIV/AIDS, anticancer medication that is used to kill or slow
the growth of cancerous cells, antihemophilic drugs, insulin and other
drugs to lower blood glucose, and immunosuppressive drugs from any
formulary limitations implemented to operate within the appropriations
provided in this section.
(((48))) (44) If Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill No. 5978
(medicaid fraud) is not enacted by June 30, 2012, the amounts
appropriated in this section from the medicaid fraud penalty account--state appropriation shall lapse and an additional $3,608,000 shall be
appropriated from the general fund--state for fiscal year 2013 for
medicaid services, fraud detection and prevention activities, recovery
of improper payments, and for other medicaid fraud enforcement
activities.
(((50))) (45) Within the amounts appropriated in this section, the
health care authority and the department of social and health services
shall implement the state option to provide health homes for enrollees
with chronic conditions under section 2703 of the federal affordable
care act. The total state match for enrollees who are dually-eligible
for both medicare and medicaid and not enrolled in managed care shall
be no more than the net savings to the state from the enhanced match
rate for its medicaid-only managed care enrollees under section 2703.
(((51))) (46) The health care authority shall not initiate any
services that require expenditure of state general fund moneys unless
expressly authorized in this act or other law. The health care
authority 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 health
care authority 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 the legislative fiscal committees. As used in
this subsection, "unrestricted federal moneys" includes block grants
and other funds that federal law does not require to be spent on specifically defined projects or matched on a formula basis by state
funds.

fiscal year 2013 and $66,000 of the general fund--federal appropriation

work group established by the department of corrections in section
220(2) of this act to review release options for elderly and infirm
