(13) During the 2013‑2015 fiscal biennium, for projects involving repair, replacement, or improvement of a wastewater treatment plant or other public works facility for which an investment grade efficiency audit is obtainable, the public works board must require as a contract condition that the project sponsor undertake an investment grade efficiency audit. The project sponsor may finance the costs of the audit as part of its public works assistance account program loan.
(14)(a) For public works assistance account application rounds conducted during the 2013‑2015 fiscal biennium, the board must implement policies and procedures designed to maximize local government use of federally funded drinking water and clean water state revolving funds operated by the state departments of health and ecology. The board, department of ecology, and department of health must jointly develop evaluation criteria and application procedures that will increase access of eligible drinking water and wastewater projects to the public works assistance account for short‑term preconstruction financing and to the federally funded state revolving funds for construction financing. The procedures must also strengthen coordinated funding of preconstruction and construction projects.
(b) For all construction
loan projects proposed to the legislature for funding during the 2013‑2015
fiscal biennium, the board must ((base interest rates on the average daily
market interest rate for tax‑exempt municipal bonds as published
in the bond buyer's index for the period from sixty to thirty days before the
start of the application cycle. For projects with a repayment period
between five and twenty years, the rate must be sixty percent of the market
rate. For projects with a repayment period under five years, the rate must be
thirty percent of the market rate)) establish lending policies and
procedures that are consistent with managing the public works assistance
account for long- term sustainability. When determining loan terms that will

applicable market rates, but may, at its discretion, use additional factors to
set the final loan terms. The board must also provide reduced interest
rates((,)) or extended repayment periods((, or forgivable
principal loans)) for projects that meet financial hardship criteria as
measured by the affordability index or similar standard measure of financial
hardship.

The bill was read the second time.
With the consent of the house, amendment (815) was withdrawn.
Representative Dunshee moved the adoption of amendment (861):
Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:
"PART
I
INTENT
NEW SECTION. Sec. 101. The legislature finds that school districts are strapped for the physical space to meet education funding reforms as provided in chapter 548, Laws of 2009 (Engrossed Substitute House Bill No. 2261) and chapter 236, Laws of 2010 (Substitute House Bill No. 2776), as interpreted in McCleary v. State, related to all-day kindergarten and K-3 class size reduction. The legislature further finds that a program of near-term state grants without a local match requirement will assist school districts to provide these new programs by the scheduled full implementation date of the 2017-18 school year. The legislature further finds that school districts will need flexibility in determining the most appropriate construction method to accommodate the additional classroom space, including permanent construction, modular construction, or portables. The legislature further finds that the use of lottery revenues for common schools is consistent with the construction objectives of chapter 3, Laws of 2001 (Initiative Measure No. 728). Therefore, it is the intent of the legislature to authorize seven hundred million dollars in lottery revenue bonds for grants to school districts to support the physical capacity required for statewide implementation of all-day kindergarten and K-3 class size reduction beginning with the 2015-2017 fiscal biennium.
PART
II
BOND AUTHORIZATION
NEW SECTION. Sec. 201. LOTTERY REVENUE BONDS AUTHORIZED.

The state finance committee shall include this pledge and agreement of the state to owners of any bonds issued under this section and sections 201 and 203 through 207 of this act. The owner of any bond or the trustee for the owner of any of the bonds may by mandamus or other appropriate proceeding require the transfer and payment of pledged revenues as directed in this section.

The account shall be a separate account outside the state treasury. No

DISTRIBUTION OF SHARED
GAME REVENUES. (1) ((The legislature recognizes that creating a shared game
lottery could result in less revenue being raised by the existing state lottery
ticket sales. The legislature further recognizes that the fund most impacted
by this potential event is the Washington opportunity pathways account. Therefore,
it is the intent of the legislature to use some of the proceeds from the shared
game lottery to make up the difference that the potential state lottery revenue
loss would have on the Washington opportunity pathways account. The
legislature further intends to use some of the proceeds from the shared game
lottery to fund programs and services related to problem and pathological
gambling.
(2) The Washington opportunity pathways account is expected to receive
one hundred two million dollars annually from state lottery games other than
the shared game lottery. For fiscal year 2011 and thereafter, if the amount of
lottery revenues earmarked for the Washington opportunity pathways account is
less than one hundred two million dollars, the commission, after making the
transfer required under subsection (3) of this section, must transfer
sufficient moneys from revenues derived from the shared game lottery into the
Washington opportunity pathways account to bring the total revenue up to one
hundred two million dollars.
(3))) If at any time the amount available to be transferred
from the state lottery account in RCW 67.70.240 to the Washington opportunity
pathways account pursuant to section 207 of this act is insufficient to satisfy
the amount certified under RCW 28B.76.526, then before the commission may make
any transfers under this section the treasurer must transfer net shared game
lottery revenues from the shared game lottery account to the Washington
opportunity pathways account.
(a) The commission shall transfer, from revenue derived from the shared game lottery, to the problem gambling account created in RCW 43.20A.892, an amount equal to the percentage specified in (b) of this subsection of net receipts. For purposes of this subsection, "net receipts" means the difference between (i) revenue received from the sale of lottery tickets or shares and revenue received from the sale of shared game lottery tickets or shares; and (ii) the sum of payments made to winners.
(b) In fiscal year 2006, the percentage to be transferred to the problem gambling account is one-tenth of one percent. In fiscal year 2007 and subsequent fiscal years, the percentage to be transferred to the problem gambling account is thirteen one-hundredths of one percent.
(((4))) (2)
The commission shall transfer the remaining net revenues, if any, derived from
the shared game lottery "Powerball" authorized in RCW 67.70.044(1)
after the transfers pursuant to this section into the state general fund for
support for the program of basic education under RCW 28A.150.200.
(((5))) (3)
The remaining net revenues, if any, in the shared game lottery account after
the transfers pursuant to this section shall be deposited into the Washington
opportunity pathways account.

HUMAN SERVICES
Sec. 201. 2013 2nd sp.s. c 4 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 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.
(7)(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, 2014, unless specifically prohibited by this act, the department may
transfer general fund--state appropriations for fiscal year 2014 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 2014 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.

These funds will be used to enhance community residential and support services provided by regional support networks through other state and federal funding.
(h) $1,125,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2014 and $1,125,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2015 are provided solely for the Spokane regional support network to implement services to reduce utilization and the census at eastern state hospital.

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.
(i) $1,529,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2014 and $1,529,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for 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 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.

(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.
For the period of July 1, 2013, through December 31, 2013, the 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)) and
$1,500,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2015 are
provided solely to maintain services for the King county regional support network
as it works to transition services to settings that are eligible for federal
participation for individuals covered under the medicaid program.

appropriated in this section, funding is provided for the department to develop
and phase in intensive mental health services for high needs youth consistent
with the settlement agreement in T.R. v. Dreyfus and Porter.
(r) $7,281,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal
year 2015 and $4,589,000 of the general fund--federal appropriation are
provided solely for implementation of Substitute House Bill No. 2725
(involuntary commitment) and enhancement of community mental health services.
The department must contract these funds for the operation of the following
community programs that allow individuals to be diverted or transitioned from
the state hospitals: (i) Community hospital or free standing evaluation and
treatment services providing short-term detention and commitment services under
the involuntary treatment act to be located in the geographic areas of the King
regional support network, the Spokane regional support network outside of
Spokane county, and the Thurston Mason regional support network; (ii) one new
full program of an assertive community treatment team in the King regional
support network and two new half programs of assertive community treatment
teams in the Spokane regional support network and the Pierce regional support
network; and (iii) three new recovery support services programs in the Grays
Harbor regional support network, the Greater Columbia regional support network,
and the North Sound regional support network. In contracting for community
evaluation and treatment services, the department may not use these resources
in facilities that meet the criteria to be classified under federal law as
institutions for mental diseases. If the department is unable to come to a
contract agreement with a designated regional support network for any of the
services identified above, it may consider contracting for that service in
another regional support network that has the need for such service.

proposed community first choice option to the centers for medicare and medicaid
services. At a minimum, the final report to the legislature from the joint

The appropriations in this section are subject to the following conditions and limitations:
(1) (($1,143,994,000))
$1,900,484,000 of the general fund--federal appropriation is provided
solely to implement the medicaid expansion as defined in the social security
act, section 1902(a)(10)(A)(i)(VIII), subject to the conditions and limitations
in this subsection. If the federal medical assistance percentage for the
medicaid expansion falls below the percentages in section 1905(y) of the social
security act as of July 1, 2013, the authority shall ensure that the state does
not incur any additional state costs above what would have been incurred had
the federal medical assistance percentages remained at the percentages in
section 1905(y) as of July 1, 2013. The director is authorized to make any
necessary program adjustments to comply with this requirement, including adding
or adjusting premiums, modifying benefits, or reducing optional programs. To
the extent a waiver is needed to accomplish this, the director shall promptly
apply for such waiver. If a necessary waiver is not approved, the medicaid
expansion program shall be terminated upon appropriate notification to the
legislature and enrollees.
(2) The requirements of this subsection apply to the basic health plan. This subsection is null and void and has no further effect upon implementation of the medicaid expansion under subsection (1) of this section.
(a) Within amounts appropriated in this section and sections 205 and 206 of this act, the health care authority shall continue to provide an enhanced basic health plan subsidy for foster parents licensed under chapter 74.15 RCW and workers in state-funded home care 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.
(b) 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 to pay 133 percent of the premium amount which would otherwise be due from the sponsored enrollees.
(c) 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 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 noncash-flow expenses such as, but not limited to, depreciation, amortization, and home office deductions, as defined by the United States internal revenue service; and (f) pursue repayment and civil penalties from persons who have received excessive subsidies, as provided in RCW 70.47.060(9).
(d) 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.
(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.
(5) 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.
(6) 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.
(7) When a person is ineligible for medicaid solely by reason of residence in an institution for mental diseases, the health care 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.
(8) $4,261,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2014, $4,261,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2015, and $8,522,000 of the general fund--federal appropriation are provided solely for low-income disproportionate share hospital payments.
(9) $400,000 of the
general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2014, (($400,000)) $200,000

$600,000 of the general fund--federal appropriation are provided solely
for disproportionate share hospital payments to rural hospitals certified by
the centers for medicare and medicaid services as sole community hospitals as
of January 1, 2013, with less than one hundred fifty acute care licensed beds
in fiscal year 2011 that do not participate in the certified public
expenditures program. The authority shall discontinue these payments on
January 1, 2015.
(10) $100,000 of the
general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2014 and (($100,000)) $50,000
of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2015 are provided
solely for grants to rural hospitals in Clallam county that were certified by
the centers for medicare and medicaid services as sole community hospitals as
of January 1, 2013, with less than one hundred fifty acute care licensed beds
in fiscal year 2011. The authority shall discontinue these payments on
January 1, 2015.
(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)) $11,928,000 of the general fund--state
appropriation for fiscal year 2014 and (($1,137,000)) $14,821,000
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.

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

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.

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.

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.

(b) For purposes of verifying an offender's identity and eligibility for the program, a valid identification card issued by the department of corrections serves as sufficient proof of identity and residency for an offender to apply for and obtain a Washington state identicard.
(c) For the purposes of the pilot program, and notwithstanding the provisions of chapter 46.20.117 RCW, the department of licensing must (i) waive the requirement that the offender not hold a valid Washington driver's license in order to receive an identicard; (ii) set an expiration date for an identicard issued under the pilot program for the first anniversary of the offender's birthdate after issuance; and (iii) not charge any fee to an applicant for an identicard issued as part of the pilot program.
