(e) Provide up to $500,000 of the general fund‑-federal appropriation to the office of financial management for a study of rate setting methods and policy for subsidized child care, and for a review of the various state programs for low-income families with children.

The study of state programs for low-income families shall compare and contrast eligibility and access to these programs and identify ways to coordinate or consolidate these programs to reduce administrative costs and improve access.

To determine payment sources and rates paid, the agencies may seek information in relation to such factors as:

(A) The rates paid to primary care providers for their medical assistance programs, including healthy options, and basic health plan contracts; and

(B) How these rates compare with nonpublic pay clients for the same services.

The agencies are authorized to attain this information from health plans or providers. The agencies shall maintain the confidentiality of data collected for the purpose of the study;

(ii) Determine which primary care providers serve a relatively high number of low-income clients, and how that affects their medical practice. For purposes of the study, "primary care providers" includes pediatricians, family practitioners, general practitioners, internists, physician assistants, and advanced registered nurse practitioners; and (iii) Develop proposals to support these providers' medical practices. The agencies must determine what constitutes a relatively high percentage of low-income clients for individual primary care providers who contract for medical assistance administration programs, including healthy options, and the basic health plan, and recommend whether and at what point this disproportionately high percentage should result in additional compensation to the primary care provider.

(1) Funding for special education programs is provided on an excess cost basis, pursuant to RCW 28A.150.390. School districts shall ensure, to the greatest extent possible, that special education students receive their appropriate share of the general apportionment allocation accruing through sections 502 and 504 of this act.

((~~(3)~~)) (4) For the 1999-00 and 2000-01 school years, the superintendent shall distribute state funds to each district based on the sum of:

(a) A district's annual average headcount enrollment of developmentally delayed infants and toddlers ages birth through two, multiplied by the district's average basic education allocation per full-time equivalent student, multiplied by 1.15; and

(b) A district's annual average full-time equivalent basic education enrollment multiplied by the funded enrollment percent determined pursuant to subsection ((~~(4)(c)~~)) (5)(c) of this section, multiplied by the district's average basic education allocation per full-time equivalent student multiplied by 0.9309.

((~~(4)~~)) (5) The definitions in this subsection apply throughout this section.

(a) "Average basic education allocation per full-time equivalent student" for a district shall be based on the staffing ratios required by RCW 28A.150.260 and shall not include enhancements, secondary vocational education, or small schools.

(c) "Enrollment percent" means the district's resident special education annual average enrollment including those students counted under the special education demonstration projects, excluding the birth through age two enrollment, as a percent of the district's annual average full-time equivalent basic education enrollment.

(2) Property transferred under this section shall be appraised and transferred at fair market value. The value of the timber transferred shall be deposited by the department to the common school construction account in the same manner as timber revenues from other common school trust lands. No deduction shall be made for the resource management cost account under RCW 79.64.040. The value of the land transferred shall be deposited in the natural resources real property replacement account. These funds shall be expended by the department for the exclusive purpose of acquiring real property of equal value to be managed as common school trust land.

(3) Property subject to easement agreements under this section shall be appraised at fair market value both with and without the imposition of the easement. The entire difference in appraised value shall be deposited by the department to the common school construction fund in the same manner as lease revenues from other common school trust lands. No deduction shall be made for the resource management cost account under RCW 79.64.040.

(4) ((~~All~~)) Up to $1,000,000 of the appropriation in this section may be used for reasonable costs incurred by the department to implement this section ((~~are authorized to be paid out of this appropriation~~)).

(5) Intergrant exchanges between common school and other trust lands of equal value may occur if the exchange is in the interest of each trust, as determined by the board of natural resources.

(6) Prior to or concurrent with conveyance of these properties, the department, with full cooperation of the receiving agencies, shall execute and record a real property instrument that dedicates the transferred properties to the purposes identified in subsection (1) of this section for a minimum period of thirty years. The department of natural resources, in consultation with the receiving state agencies, shall develop policy to address requests to replace transferred properties subject to the recorded property instrument that are no longer deemed appropriate for the purposes identified in subsection (1) of this section.

(7) The department and receiving agencies shall work in good faith to carry out the intent of this section. However, the department or receiving agencies may remove a property from the transfer list in subsection (8) of this section if, based on new, substantive information, it is determined that transfer of the property is not in the state-wide interest of either the common school trust or the receiving agency.

(8) The appropriation in this section is provided to execute transfers or easements for the list of properties identified in LEAP capital document No. ((~~99-3, as developed on April 8, 1999~~)) 2000 T-1, as developed on February 29, 2000, as follows: Projects in category A shall be transferred; to the extent that local funding is provided for the land value of the property, projects in category B shall be transferred; and projects in category C and remaining projects in category B may be transferred or leased as funding allows.
