Sec. 201 2011 2nd sp.s. c 9 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 ((this)) 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: (((a))) (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 (((b)))
(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, unless
specifically prohibited by this act, the department may transfer
general fund--state appropriations for fiscal year 2012 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
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.

(7)(a) The juvenile rehabilitation administration shall administer
a block grant, rather than categorical funding, of consolidated
juvenile service funds, community juvenile accountability act grants,
the chemical dependency disposition alternative funds, the mental
health disposition alternative, and the sentencing disposition
alternative for the purpose of serving youth adjudicated in the
juvenile justice system. In making the block grant, the juvenile
rehabilitation administration shall follow the following formula and
will prioritize evidence-based programs and disposition alternatives
and take into account juvenile courts program-eligible youth in
conjunction with the number of youth served in each approved evidence-based program or disposition alternative: (i) Thirty-seven and one-half percent for the at-risk population of youth ten to seventeen years
old; (ii) fifteen percent for moderate and high-risk youth; (iii)
twenty-five percent for evidence-based program participation; (iv)

alternatives. Funding for the special sex offender disposition
alternative (SSODA) shall not be included in the block grant, but
allocated on the average daily population in juvenile courts. Funding
for the evidence-based expansion grants shall be excluded from the
block grant formula. Funds may be used for promising practices when
approved by the juvenile rehabilitation administration and juvenile
courts, through the community juvenile accountability act committee,
based on the criteria established in consultation with Washington state
institute for public policy and the juvenile courts.
(b) The juvenile rehabilitation administration shall phase the
implementation of the formula provided in subsection (1) of this
section by including a stop-loss formula of five percent in fiscal year
2012 and five percent in fiscal year 2013.
(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
have the ability to change members of the committee as needed to
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.

$1,114,761,000
The appropriations in this subsection are subject to the following
conditions and limitations:
(a) $109,342,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for
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 to provide either community- or hospital campus-based
services for persons who require the level of care previously provided
by the program for adaptive living skills (PALS) at western state
hospital.
(d) The number of nonforensic beds allocated for use by 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
support networks reimburse the aging and disability services
administration for the general fund--state cost of medicaid personal
care services that enrolled regional support network consumers use
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
mentally ill offenders while confined in a county or city jail and for
facilitating access to programs that offer mental health services upon
release from confinement. Beginning in fiscal year 2013, the
department shall report regional outcome data on individuals in jail
who are referred for regional support network services. By December 1,
2012, the department shall provide a report to the relevant fiscal and
policy committees of the legislature on the number of individuals
referred to the program who had an evaluation for regional support
network services either during incarceration or within 30 and 60 days
of release from jail; and the number who were made newly eligible or
reinstated to eligibility for medical assistance services either during
incarceration or within 30 and 60 days of release from jail. In
addition, the report shall identify how many of the individuals who
were determined to be eligible for regional support network services
received additional outpatient services within 30 and 60 days of
release from incarceration.
(g) The department is authorized to continue to contract directly,
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
network to implement services to reduce utilization and the census at
eastern state hospital. Such services shall include:
(i) High intensity treatment team for persons who are high
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
state psychiatric hospitals.
(k) 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.
(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.

health care coverage through other family members, other
employment-based coverage, or military or veteran's coverage. The
department shall require annually, each home care agency to review each
of its employee's available health coverage and to provide a written
declaration to the department verifying that health benefits purchased
with public funds are solely for employees that do not have other
available coverage. Home care agencies may determine a reasonable
employee co-premium not to exceed 20 percent of the total benefit cost.)) $1,329,000 of the general fund--state
appropriation for fiscal year 2012, ((
(f) $1,127,000$1,199,000)) $1,622,000 of the
general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2013, and
(($2,322,000)) $2,947,000 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. ((House Bill No.
1548 and Senate Bill No. 5473 (long-term care worker requirements) make
statutory changes to the increased training requirements and therefore
the state shall contribute to the partnership $0.17 per paid hour
worked by all home care workers. This amount is pursuant to the
collective bargaining agreement negotiated with the exclusive
bargaining representative of individual providers established under RCW
74.39A.270.)) 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 (1)(e). 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.
(f) $104,669,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for
fiscal year 2013 and $104,669,000 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 report by December 5,
2012, on the feasibility of converting the medicaid personal care
program for in-home adults to a medicaid program 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.
(g)(i) Within the amounts appropriated in this subsection, the
department shall revise the current working age adult policy to allow
clients to choose between employment and community access activities.
Clients age 21 and older who are receiving services through a home- and
community-based medicaid waiver shall be offered the choice to
transition to a community access program after nine months of
enrollment in an employment program, and the option to transition from
a community access program to an employment program at any time. The
department shall inform clients and their legal representatives of all
available options for employment and day services. Information
provided to the client and the client's legal representative shall
include the types of activities each service option provides, and the
amount, scope, and duration of service for which the client would be
eligible under each service option. An individual client may be
authorized for only one service option, either employment services or
community access services. Clients may not participate in more than
one of these services at any given time.
(ii) The department shall work with counties and stakeholders to
strengthen and expand the existing community access program. The
program must emphasize support for the client so they are able to
participate in activities that integrate them into their community and
support independent living and skills.
(iii) The appropriation in this subsection includes funding to
provide employment or community access services to 168 medicaid
eligible young adults with developmental disabilities living with their
families who need employment opportunities and assistance after high
school graduation.
(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 ((to cover
the cost of the license fee increase for publicly funded beds)), 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.

average nursing facility payment rate shall not exceed $170.37 for
fiscal year 2012 and shall not exceed $171.43 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 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, ((2011)) 2012, using the
payment methodology defined in ((Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill No.
5581 (nursing home payments))) 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, ((2011)) 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 ((Engrossed
Substitute Senate Bill No. 5581 (nursing home payments))) 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, ((subsections)) (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

funded clients at 86 hours or more per month. In order to negotiate
the most comprehensive health benefits package for its employees, each
agency may determine benefit levels according to the hours an employee
works providing state-funded personal care. Health benefits shall be
offered to all employees who care for publicly funded clients for 86
hours per month or more. At a minimum, employees who care for publicly
funded clients at 140 hours a month or greater must receive a
comprehensive medical benefit. Benefits shall not be provided to
employees who care for publicly funded clients at 85 hours or less per
month or as interim respite workers. The department shall not pay an
agency for benefits provided to an employee who otherwise receives
health care coverage through other family members, other
employment-based coverage, or military or veteran's coverage. The
department shall require annually, each home care agency to review each
of its employee's available health coverage and to provide a written

for the purposes of this subsection (7). It is the intent of the
legislature that the funding provided in this subsection, including any

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.

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,
2012.
If the authority does not receive by July 1, 2012, declarations
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.

practices with regard to the use of such fees; an analysis of how
authority payments for services and procedures that include an explicit
facility fee component compare to amounts paid for comparable services
and procedures that do not; the amount expended for facility fees by
major program and service in each of the four most recent years for
which reasonably complete and comparable information is available; an
analysis of the extent to which hospital acquisition of physician
practices and of laboratory, imaging, and other outpatient diagnostic
and treatment services has contributed to increased state expenditures;
and the authority's recommendations regarding possible revisions to
calculation and payment of such fees. The authority shall report its
finding and recommendations to the health care and appropriate fiscal
committees of the legislature by November 1, 2012.
(45) Prior to entering into a contract for medicaid managed care
services for the period commencing July 1, 2012, the director of the
health care authority shall certify to the governor and to the health
care committees of the legislature that the contractor has established
a network of acute, primary, and specialty care providers that is
sufficient to meet the needs of the contractor's anticipated enrollee
population. If no plan is able to certify an adequate provider network
in a county, the health care authority shall request re-bids from all
plans which originally submitted bids for the county during the regular
procurement process until award is successful. No county, that is
currently served by Medicaid managed care services shall revert to
fee-for-service as a result of the procurement process.
(46) The department shall seek a medicaid state plan amendment to
create a graduate medical education supplemental payment for services
delivered to managed care recipients by University of Washington
medicine and other public professional providers. This program shall

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 shall apply federal rules for identifying the difference
between current physician encounter and fee-for-service medicaid
payments to participating providers and the applicable federal upper
payment limit. Participating providers shall be solely responsible for
providing the local funds required to obtain federal matching funds.
Any incremental costs incurred by the department 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.

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

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) 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.

districts in which all excess cost services for special education
students of the districts are provided by the cooperative, the maximum
enrollment percent shall be calculated in accordance with RCW
28A.150.390(3) (c) and (d), and shall be calculated in the aggregate

superintendent shall expend all available federal discretionary funds
necessary to meet this need. At the conclusion of each school year,
the superintendent shall recover safety net funds that were distributed
prospectively but for which districts were not subsequently eligible.
(a) For the 2011-12 and 2012-13 school years, safety net funds

NEW SECTION. Sec. 712 A new section is added to 2012 c 86 (ESHB
2190) (uncodified) to read as follows:
FOR THE WASHINGTON STATE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
The legislature finds that it is critically important that highway
improvement project lists, incorporated by reference in the biennial
transportation appropriations act, accurately reflect the intent of the
legislature with respect to the identified projects and activities as
listed by fund, project, and amount in the list, including intended
future commitments. The legislature further finds that during the 2012
regular legislative session, Engrossed Substitute House Bill No. 2190,
as recommended by the conference committee, passed the legislature and
that it incorporated by reference a highway improvement project list
containing various technical drafting errors resulting in an inaccurate
reflection of the conference committee report as agreed to by the
conferees. The legislature further finds that a corrected version of
the list is necessary to conform with the recommendations of the
conference committee in a manner that does not change the funding
decisions or appropriations for the current 2011-2013 biennium as
agreed to by the conferees. Therefore, any reference in chapter 86
(ESHB 2190), Laws of 2012 to "LEAP Transportation Document 2012-2 as
developed March 8, 2012, Program – Highway Improvement Program (I)" is
superseded by the corrected version "LEAP Transportation Document 2012-2C as developed March 14, 2012, Program – Highway Improvements Program

of the enhanced 911 system, for the implementation of wireless enhanced
911 statewide, for the modernization of enhanced 911 emergency
communications systems statewide, and to help supplement, within
available funds, the operational costs of the system, including
adequate funding of counties to enable implementation of wireless
enhanced 911 service and reimbursement of radio communications service
companies for costs incurred in providing wireless enhanced 911 service
pursuant to negotiated contracts between the counties or their agents
and the radio communications service companies. For the 2011-2013
fiscal biennium, the account may be used for modernizing narrowband
radio capability in the department of corrections. A county must show
just cause, including but not limited to a true and accurate accounting
of the funds expended, for any inability to provide reimbursement to
radio communications service companies of costs incurred in providing
enhanced 911 service.
(2) Funds generated by the enhanced 911 excise tax imposed by RCW
82.14B.030(5) may not be distributed to any county that has not imposed
the maximum county enhanced 911 excise tax allowed under RCW
82.14B.030(1). Funds generated by the enhanced 911 excise tax imposed
by RCW 82.14B.030(6) may not be distributed to any county that has not
imposed the maximum county enhanced 911 excise tax allowed under RCW
82.14B.030(2).
(3) The state enhanced 911 coordinator, with the advice and
assistance of the enhanced 911 advisory committee, is authorized to
enter into statewide agreements to improve the efficiency of enhanced
911 services for all counties and shall specify by rule the additional
purposes for which moneys, if available, may be expended from this
account.
Sec. 916 RCW 41.06.560 and 2011 1st sp.s. c 39 s 11 are each
amended to read as follows:
From February 15, 2010, until June 30, 2013, no monetary
performance-based awards or incentives may be granted by the director
or employers to employees covered by rules adopted under this section.
This section does not prohibit the payment of awards provided for in
chapter 41.60 RCW. For institutions of higher education, this section
does not prohibit the payment of specific cash awards from private
donations from individuals or businesses including, but not limited to,
endowments.
From July 1, 2011, until June 30, 2013, no performance-based awards
or incentives may be granted by the director or employers to employees
pursuant to a performance management confirmation granted by the
department of personnel under WAC 357-37-055.
Sec. 917 RCW 43.07.129 and 2011 1st sp.s. c 50 s 940 are each
amended to read as follows:
The Washington state heritage center account is created in the
custody of the state treasurer. All moneys received under RCW
36.18.010(11) and 43.07.128 must be deposited in the account.
Expenditures from the account may be made only for the following
purposes:
(1) Payment of the certificate of participation issued for the
Washington state heritage center;
(2) Capital maintenance of the Washington state heritage center;
and
(3) Program operations that serve the public, relate to the
collections and exhibits housed in the Washington state heritage
center, or fulfill the missions of the state archives, state library,
and capital museum.
Only the secretary of state or the secretary of state's designee
may authorize expenditures from the account. An appropriation is not
required for expenditures, but the account is subject to allotment
procedures under chapter 43.88 RCW. During the 2011-2013 fiscal
biennium, the legislature may appropriate from the Washington state
heritage center account for the purposes of state arts, historical, and
library programs. Additionally, during the 2011-2013 fiscal biennium,
the legislature may transfer from the Washington state heritage center
account to the state general fund such amounts as reflect the excess
fund balance of the fund.
Sec. 918 RCW 43.30.720 and 2003 1st sp.s. c 25 s 938 are each
amended to read as follows:
All receipts from the sale of stock or seed shall be deposited in
a state forest nursery revolving fund to be maintained by the
department, which is hereby authorized to use all money in said fund
for the maintenance of the state tree nursery or the planting of
denuded state owned lands.
During the ((2003-2005)) 2011-2013 fiscal biennium, the legislature
may transfer from the state forest nursery revolving fund to the state
general fund such amounts as reflect the excess fund balance of the
fund.
Sec. 919 RCW 43.88.110 and 2009 c 518 s 3 are each amended to
read as follows:
This section sets forth the expenditure programs and the allotment
and reserve procedures to be followed by the executive branch for
public funds.
(1) Allotments of an appropriation for any fiscal period shall
conform to the terms, limits, or conditions of the appropriation.
(2) The director of financial management shall provide all agencies
with a complete set of operating and capital instructions for preparing
a statement of proposed expenditures at least thirty days before the
beginning of a fiscal period. The set of instructions need not include
specific appropriation amounts for the agency.
(3) Within forty-five days after the beginning of the fiscal period
or within forty-five days after the governor signs the omnibus biennial
appropriations act, whichever is later, all agencies shall submit to
the governor a statement of proposed expenditures at such times and in
such form as may be required by the governor.
(4) The office of financial management shall develop a method for
monitoring capital appropriations and expenditures that will capture at
least the following elements:
(a) Appropriations made for capital projects including
transportation projects;
(b) Estimates of total project costs including past, current,
ensuing, and future biennial costs;
(c) Comparisons of actual costs to estimated costs;
(d) Comparisons of estimated construction start and completion
dates with actual dates;
(e) Documentation of fund shifts between projects.
This data may be incorporated into the existing accounting system
or into a separate project management system, as deemed appropriate by
the office of financial management.
(5) The office of financial management, prior to approving
allotments for major capital construction projects valued over five
million dollars, shall institute procedures for reviewing such projects
at the predesign stage that will reduce long-term costs and increase
facility efficiency. The procedures shall include, but not be limited
to, the following elements:
(a) Evaluation of facility program requirements and consistency
with long-range plans;
(b) Utilization of a system of cost, quality, and performance
standards to compare major capital construction projects; and
(c) A requirement to incorporate value-engineering analysis and
constructability review into the project schedule.
(6) No expenditure may be incurred or obligation entered into for
such major capital construction projects including, without exception,
land acquisition, site development, predesign, design, construction,
and equipment acquisition and installation, until the allotment of the
funds to be expended has been approved by the office of financial
management. This limitation does not prohibit the continuation of
expenditures and obligations into the succeeding biennium for projects
for which allotments have been approved in the immediate prior
biennium.
(7)(a) Beginning January 1, 2013, if at any time during the fiscal
period the governor projects a cash deficit in a particular fund or
account as defined by RCW 43.88.050, the governor shall make across-the-board reductions in allotments for that particular fund or account
so as to prevent a cash deficit, unless the legislature has directed
the liquidation of the cash deficit over one or more fiscal periods.
(b)(i) From the effective date of this section until January 1,
2013, if at any time during the fiscal period the governor projects a
cash deficit in a particular fund or account as defined by RCW
43.88.050, then as set forth in (b) of this subsection the governor
shall make across-the-board reductions in the total amount allotted to
each agency from each appropriation from that fund or account so as to
prevent a cash deficit, unless the legislature has directed the
liquidation of the cash deficit over one or more fiscal periods.
(ii) The percentage reduction applied to individual allotments of
an agency's total allotments from each appropriation from that fund or
account may vary, but each agency's total allotments from each
appropriation from that fund or account must be uniformly reduced by
the percentage necessary to prevent a cash deficit. Where a portion of
an appropriation is provided solely for a particular purpose,
allotments of that portion of the appropriation may be reduced only by
the same percentage as the overall appropriation.
(iii) Allotments for the following programs may be reduced only by
a percentage equal to one-half of the percentage reduction applied to
total allotments of appropriations under (b)(ii) of this subsection:
(A) Direct custody in the department of corrections and the
juvenile rehabilitation administration; and
(B) The special commitment center of the department of social and
health services.
(iv) Basic education programs, debt service on state bonds, state
contributions to retirement systems, and programs for which a defined
benefit is specifically mandated in statute are exempt from across-the-board allotment reductions under this subsection (7)(b) and allotments
for these purposes shall not be included when calculating the allotment
reductions.
(8) Except for the legislative and judicial branches and other
agencies headed by elective officials, the governor shall review the
statement of proposed operating expenditures for reasonableness and
conformance with legislative intent. The governor may request
corrections of proposed allotments submitted by the legislative and
judicial branches and agencies headed by elective officials if those
proposed allotments contain significant technical errors.
(9) Once the governor approves the proposed allotments, further
revisions may at the request of the office of financial management or
upon the agency's initiative be made on a quarterly basis and must be
accompanied by an explanation of the reasons for significant changes.
If the governor initiates across-the-board allotment revisions under
subsection (7)(b) of this section, the office of financial management
shall provide notice to the appropriate legislative fiscal committees
of the proposed revisions, including the explanation for the
significant changes, and the revisions may not take effect until ten
days after this notice is provided. However, changes in appropriation
level authorized by the legislature, changes required by across-the-board reductions mandated by the governor, changes caused by executive
increases to spending authority, and changes caused by executive
decreases to spending authority for failure to comply with the
provisions of chapter 36.70A RCW may require additional revisions.
Revisions shall not be made retroactively. However, the governor may
assign to a reserve status any portion of an agency appropriation
withheld as part of across-the-board reductions made by the governor
and any portion of an agency appropriation conditioned on a contingent
event by the appropriations act. The governor may remove these amounts
from reserve status if the across-the-board reductions are subsequently
modified or if the contingent event occurs. The director of financial
management shall enter approved statements of proposed expenditures
into the state budgeting, accounting, and reporting system within
forty-five days after receipt of the proposed statements from the
agencies. If an agency or the director of financial management is
unable to meet these requirements, the director of financial management
shall provide a timely explanation in writing to the legislative fiscal
committees.
(((8))) (10) It is expressly provided that all agencies shall be
required to maintain accounting records and to report thereon in the
manner prescribed in this chapter and under the regulations issued
pursuant to this chapter. Within ninety days of the end of the fiscal
year, all agencies shall submit to the director of financial management
their final adjustments to close their books for the fiscal year.
Prior to submitting fiscal data, written or oral, to committees of the
legislature, it is the responsibility of the agency submitting the data
to reconcile it with the budget and accounting data reported by the
agency to the director of financial management.
(((9))) (11) The director of financial management may exempt
certain public funds from the allotment controls established under this
chapter if it is not practical or necessary to allot the funds.
Allotment control exemptions expire at the end of the fiscal biennium
for which they are granted. The director of financial management shall
report any exemptions granted under this subsection to the legislative
fiscal committees.

order to ensure a healthful environment for future generations:
(i) The director may alter grant-matching requirements to create
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, or habitat restoration opportunities that would

Sec. 921 RCW 74.48.090 and 2011 1st sp.s. c 7 s 21 are each
amended to read as follows:
(1) The department and the department of health, in consultation
with the Washington state health care association, and aging services
of Washington, shall design a system of skilled nursing facility
quality incentive payments. The design of the system shall be
submitted to the relevant policy and fiscal committees of the
legislature by ((December 15, 2011)) January 1, 2013. For the 2011-2013 fiscal biennial budget period, the department shall not implement
a system of skilled nursing facility quality incentive payments
designed pursuant to this section. The system shall be based upon the
following principles:
(a) Evidence-based treatment and processes shall be used to improve
health care outcomes for skilled nursing facility residents;
(b) Effective purchasing strategies to improve the quality of
health care services should involve the use of common quality
improvement measures, while recognizing that some measures may not be
appropriate for application to facilities with high bariatric,
behaviorally challenged, or rehabilitation populations;
(c) Quality measures chosen for the system should be consistent
with the standards that have been developed by national quality
improvement organizations, such as the national quality forum, the
federal centers for medicare and medicaid services, or the federal
agency for healthcare research and quality. New reporting burdens to
skilled nursing facilities should be minimized by giving priority to
measures skilled nursing facilities that are currently required to
report to governmental agencies, such as the nursing home compare
measures collected by the federal centers for medicare and medicaid
services;
(d) Benchmarks for each quality improvement measure should be set
at levels that are feasible for skilled nursing facilities to achieve,
yet represent real improvements in quality and performance for a
majority of skilled nursing facilities in Washington state; and
(e) Skilled nursing facilities performance and incentive payments
should be designed in a manner such that all facilities in Washington
are able to receive the incentive payments if performance is at or
above the benchmark score set in the system established under this
section.
(2) Pursuant to an appropriation by the legislature, for state
fiscal year ((2013)) 2014 and each fiscal year thereafter, assessments
may be increased to support an additional one percent increase in
skilled nursing facility reimbursement rates for facilities that meet
the quality incentive benchmarks established under this section.
Sec. 922 RCW 76.04.610 and 2007 c 110 s 1 are each amended to

RCW 76.04.600, the department shall provide such protection and shall
annually impose the following assessments on each parcel of such land:
(i) A flat fee assessment of seventeen dollars and fifty cents; and
(ii) twenty-seven cents on each acre exceeding fifty acres.
(b) Assessors may, at their option, collect the assessment on tax
exempt lands. If the assessor elects not to collect the assessment,
the department may bill the landowner directly.
(2) An owner who has paid assessments on two or more parcels, each
containing fewer than fifty acres and each within the same county, may
obtain the following refund:
(a) If all the parcels together contain less than fifty acres, then
the refund is equal to the flat fee assessments paid, reduced by the
total of (i) seventeen dollars and (ii) the total of the amounts
retained by the county from such assessments under subsection (5) of
this section.
(b) If all the parcels together contain fifty or more acres, then
the refund is equal to the flat fee assessments paid, reduced by the
total of (i) seventeen dollars, (ii) twenty-seven cents for each acre
exceeding fifty acres, and (iii) the total of the amounts retained by
the county from such assessments under subsection (5) of this section.
Applications for refunds shall be submitted to the department on a
form prescribed by the department and in the same year in which the
assessments were paid. The department may not provide refunds to
applicants who do not provide verification that all assessments and
property taxes on the property have been paid. Applications may be
made by mail.
In addition to the procedures under this subsection, property
owners with multiple parcels in a single county who qualify for a
refund under this section may apply to the department on an application
listing all the parcels owned in order to have the assessment computed
on all parcels but billed to a single parcel. Property owners with the
following number of parcels may apply to the department in the year
indicated:
| Year | Number of Parcels |

notice to the director and the treasurer prior to January 1st of any
year, to obtain for the following year an amount in lieu of real
property taxes on game lands as provided in RCW 77.12.203. Upon the
election, the county shall keep a record of all fines, forfeitures,
reimbursements, and costs assessed and collected, in whole or in part,
under this title for violations of law or rules adopted pursuant to
this title, with the exception of the 2011-2013 fiscal biennium, and

Sec. 924 RCW 77.12.203 and 2005 c 303 s 14 are each amended to
read as follows:
(1) Except as provided in subsection (5) of this section and
notwithstanding RCW 84.36.010 or other statutes to the contrary, the
director shall pay by April 30th of each year on game lands in each
county, if requested by an election under RCW 77.12.201, an amount in
lieu of real property taxes equal to that amount paid on similar
parcels of open space land taxable under chapter 84.34 RCW or the
greater of seventy cents per acre per year or the amount paid in 1984
plus an additional amount for control of noxious weeds equal to that
which would be paid if such lands were privately owned. This amount
shall not be assessed or paid on department buildings, structures,
facilities, game farms, fish hatcheries, tidelands, or public fishing
areas of less than one hundred acres.
(2) "Game lands," as used in this section and RCW 77.12.201, means
those tracts one hundred acres or larger owned in fee by the department
and used for wildlife habitat and public recreational purposes. All
lands purchased for wildlife habitat, public access or recreation
purposes with federal funds in the Snake River drainage basin shall be
considered game lands regardless of acreage.
(3) This section shall not apply to lands transferred after April
23, 1990, to the department from other state agencies.
(4) The county shall distribute the amount received under this
section in lieu of real property taxes to all property taxing districts
except the state in appropriate tax code areas the same way it would
distribute local property taxes from private property. The county
shall distribute the amount received under this section for weed
control to the appropriate weed district.
(5) For the 2011-2013 fiscal biennium, the director shall pay by
April 30th of each year on game lands in each county, if requested by

Sec. 925 RCW 79.22.010 and 2003 c 334 s 205 are each amended to
read as follows:
(1) The department has the power to accept gifts and bequests of
money or other property, made in its own name, or made in the name of
the state, to promote generally the interests of reforestation or for
a specific named purpose in connection with reforestation, and to
acquire in the name of the state, by purchase or gift, any lands which
by reason of their location, topography, or geological formation, are

section, the deductions authorized under this section shall not exceed
twenty-five percent of the moneys received by the department in
connection with any one transaction pertaining to state lands and
aquatic lands other than second-class tide and shore lands and the beds
of navigable waters, and fifty percent of the moneys received by the
department pertaining to second-class tide and shore lands and the beds
of navigable waters.
(4) Deductions authorized under this section for transactions
pertaining to community forest trust lands must be established at a
level sufficient to defray over time the management costs for
activities prescribed in a parcel's management plan adopted pursuant to
RCW 79.155.080, and, if deemed appropriate by the board consistent with
RCW 79.155.090, to reimburse the state and any local entities' eligible
financial contributions for acquisition of the parcel.
(5) In the event that the department sells logs using the contract

the board.
Sec. 928 RCW 79.64.100 and 2003 c 334 s 219 are each amended to
read as follows:
There is created a forest development account in the state
treasury. The state treasurer shall keep an account of all sums
deposited therein and expended or withdrawn therefrom. Any sums placed
in the forest development account shall be pledged for the purpose of
paying interest and principal on the bonds issued by the department
under RCW 79.22.080 and 79.22.090 and the provisions of this chapter,
and for the purchase of land for growing timber. Any bonds issued
shall constitute a first and prior claim and lien against the account
for the payment of principal and interest. No sums for the above
purposes shall be withdrawn or paid out of the account except upon
approval of the department.
Appropriations may be made by the legislature from the forest
development account to the department for the purpose of carrying on
the activities of the department on state forest lands, lands managed
on a sustained yield basis as provided for in RCW 79.10.320, and for
reimbursement of expenditures that have been made or may be made from
the resource management cost account in the management of state forest
lands. For the 2011-2013 fiscal biennium, moneys from the forest
development account shall be distributed as directed in section 706 of
this act to the beneficiaries of the revenues derived from state forest
lands. During the 2011-2013 fiscal biennium, the legislature may
appropriate moneys in the forest development account to support
emergency fire suppression activities in a manner that, at a maximum,
represents the proportion of land that the department manages in
comparison to the total land the department conducts emergency fire
suppression activities on.
Sec. 929 RCW 79.105.150 and 2011 2nd sp.s. c 9 s 911 are each
amended to read as follows:
(1) After deduction for management costs as provided in RCW
79.64.040 and payments to towns under RCW 79.115.150(2), all moneys
received by the state from the sale or lease of state-owned aquatic
lands and from the sale of valuable material from state-owned aquatic
lands shall be deposited in the aquatic lands enhancement account which
is hereby created in the state treasury. After appropriation, these
funds shall be used solely for aquatic lands enhancement projects; for
the purchase, improvement, or protection of aquatic lands for public
purposes; for providing and improving access to the lands; and for
volunteer cooperative fish and game projects. During the ((2009-2011
and)) 2011-2013 fiscal ((biennia)) biennium, the aquatic lands
enhancement account may also be used for scientific research as part of
the adaptive management process and for developing a planning report
for McNeil Island. During the ((2009-2011 and)) 2011-2013 fiscal
((biennia)) biennium, the legislature may transfer from the aquatic
lands enhancement account to the state general fund such amounts as
reflect excess fund balance of the account. During the 2011-2013
fiscal biennium, the aquatic lands enhancement account may be used to
support the shellfish program, the ballast water program, parks,
hatcheries, and the Puget Sound toxic sampling program at the
department of fish and wildlife, and the knotweed program at the
department of agriculture. During the 2011-2013 fiscal biennium, the
legislature may transfer from the aquatic lands enhancement account to
the marine resources stewardship trust account funds for the purposes
of RCW 43.372.070.
(2) In providing grants for aquatic lands enhancement projects, the
recreation and conservation funding board shall:
(a) Require grant recipients to incorporate the environmental
benefits of the project into their grant applications;
(b) Utilize the statement of environmental benefits, consideration,
except as provided in RCW 79.105.610, of whether the applicant is a
Puget Sound partner, as defined in RCW 90.71.010, whether a project is
referenced in the action agenda developed by the Puget Sound
partnership under RCW 90.71.310, and except as otherwise provided in
RCW 79.105.630, and effective one calendar year following the
development and statewide availability of model evergreen community
management plans and ordinances under RCW 35.105.050, whether the
applicant is an entity that has been recognized, and what gradation of
recognition was received, in the evergreen community recognition
program created in RCW 35.105.030 in its prioritization and selection
process; and
(c) Develop appropriate outcome-focused performance measures to be
used both for management and performance assessment of the grants.
(3) To the extent possible, the department should coordinate its
performance measure system with other natural resource-related agencies
as defined in RCW 43.41.270.
(4) The department shall consult with affected interest groups in
implementing this section.
(5) After January 1, 2010, any project designed to address the
restoration of Puget Sound may be funded under this chapter only if the
project is not in conflict with the action agenda developed by the
Puget Sound partnership under RCW 90.71.310.
Sec. 930 RCW 79.105.240 and 2005 c 155 s 147 are each amended to
read as follows:
Except as otherwise provided by this chapter, annual rent rates for
the lease of state-owned aquatic lands for water-dependent uses shall
be determined as follows:
(1)(a) The assessed land value, exclusive of improvements, as
determined by the county assessor, of the upland tax parcel used in
conjunction with the leased area or, if there are no such uplands, of
the nearest upland tax parcel used for water-dependent purposes divided
by the parcel area equals the upland value.
(b) The upland value times the area of leased aquatic lands times
thirty percent equals the aquatic land value.
(2) As of July 1, 1989, and each July 1st thereafter, the
department shall determine the real capitalization rate to be applied
to water-dependent aquatic land leases commencing or being adjusted
under subsection (3)(a) of this section in that fiscal year. The real
capitalization rate shall be the real rate of return, except that until
June 30, 1989, the real capitalization rate shall be five percent and
thereafter it shall not change by more than one percentage point in any
one year or be more than seven percent or less than three percent.
(3) The annual rent shall be:
(a) Determined initially, and redetermined every four years or as
otherwise provided in the lease, by multiplying the aquatic land value
times the real capitalization rate; and
(b) Adjusted by the inflation rate each year in which the rent is
not determined under (a) of this subsection.
(4) If the upland parcel used in conjunction with the leased area
is not assessed or has an assessed value inconsistent with the purposes
of the lease, the nearest comparable upland parcel used for similar
purposes shall be substituted and the lease payment determined in the
same manner as provided in this section.
(5) For the purposes of this section, "upland tax parcel" is a tax
parcel, some portion of which has upland characteristics. Filled
tidelands or shorelands with upland characteristics which abut state-owned aquatic land shall be considered as uplands in determining
aquatic land values.
(6) The annual rent for filled state-owned aquatic lands that have
the characteristics of uplands shall be determined in accordance with
RCW 79.105.270 in those cases in which the state owns the fill and has
a right to charge for the fill.
(7) For all new leases for other water-dependent uses, issued after
December 31, 1997, the initial annual water-dependent rent shall be
determined by the methods in subsections (1) through (6) of this
section.
(8) During the 2011-2013 fiscal biennium, the department may
calculate annual rent for qualifying marinas as provided in section
308(12) of this act.
Sec. 931 RCW 79A.25.200 and 2007 c 241 s 53 are each amended to
read as follows:
The recreation resource account is created in the state treasury.
Moneys in this account are subject to legislative appropriation. The
board shall administer the account in accordance with this chapter and
chapter 79A.35 RCW and shall hold it separate and apart from all other
money, funds, and accounts of the board. Moneys received from the
marine fuel tax refund account under RCW 79A.25.070 shall be deposited
into the account. Grants, gifts, or other financial assistance,
proceeds received from public bodies as administrative cost
contributions, and moneys made available to the state of Washington by
the federal government for outdoor recreation may be deposited into the
account. During the 2011-2013 fiscal biennia, the recreation resource
account may be used by the department of fish and wildlife for the
purposes of activities related to aquatic and marine enforcement.
Sec. 932 RCW 86.26.007 and 2011 1st sp.s. c 50 s 976 are each
amended to read as follows:
The flood control assistance account is hereby established in the
state treasury. At the beginning of the 2005-2007 fiscal biennium, the
state treasurer shall transfer three million dollars from the general
fund to the flood control assistance account. Each biennium thereafter
the state treasurer shall transfer four million dollars from the
general fund to the flood control assistance account, except that
during the ((2009-2011 and)) 2011-2013 fiscal ((biennia)) biennium, the
state treasurer shall transfer ((two)) one million dollars from the
general fund to the flood control assistance account. Moneys in the
flood control assistance account may be spent only after appropriation
for purposes specified under this chapter.
Sec. 933 RCW 90.48.390 and 2008 c 329 s 925 are each amended to
read as follows:
The coastal protection fund is established to be used by the
department as a revolving fund for carrying out the purposes of
restoration of natural resources under this chapter and chapter 90.56
RCW. To this fund there shall be credited penalties, fees, damages,
charges received pursuant to the provisions of this chapter and chapter
90.56 RCW, compensation for damages received under this chapter and
chapter 90.56 RCW, and an amount equivalent to one cent per gallon from
each marine use refund claim under RCW 82.36.330.
Moneys in the fund not needed currently to meet the obligations of
the department in the exercise of its powers, duties, and functions
under RCW 90.48.142, 90.48.366, 90.48.367, and 90.48.368 shall be
deposited with the state treasurer to the credit of the fund. During
the 2007-2009 fiscal biennium, the coastal protection fund may also be
used for a standby rescue tug at Neah Bay. During the 2011-2013 fiscal
biennium, the legislature may transfer from the coastal protection fund
to the state general fund such amounts as reflect excess fund balance
derived from penalties, forfeits, and seizures.
Sec. 934 2010 c 23 s 205 (uncodified) is amended to read as
follows:
(1) The legislature finds that this state's tax policy with respect
to the taxation of transactions between affiliated entities and the
income derived from such transactions (intercompany transactions) has
motivated some taxpayers to engage in transactions designed solely or
primarily to minimize the tax effects of intercompany transactions.
The legislature further finds that some intercompany transactions
result from taxpayers that are required to establish affiliated
entities to comply with regulatory mandates and that transactions
between such affiliates effectively increases the tax burden in this
state on the affiliated group of entities.
(2) Therefore, as existing resources allow, the department of
revenue is directed to conduct a review of the state's tax policy with
respect to the taxation of intercompany transactions. The review must
include the impacts of such transactions under the state's business and
occupation tax and state and local sales and use taxes. The department
may include other taxes in the review as it deems appropriate.
(3) In conducting the review, the department must examine how this
state's tax policy compares to the tax policy of other states with
respect to the taxation of intercompany transactions. The department's
review must include an analysis of potential alternatives to the
current policy of taxing intercompany transactions, including their
estimated revenue impacts if practicable.
(4) In conducting this review, the department may seek input from
members of the business community and others as it deems appropriate.
(5) The department must report its findings to the fiscal
committees of the house of representatives and senate by December 1,
2010. However, if the department has not completed its review by
December 1, 2010, the department must provide the fiscal committees of
the legislature with a brief status report by December 1, 2010, and the
final report by December 1, ((2011)) 2012.

regulatory visit or inspection;
(3) Provide notice about when the business may expect the results
of a technical assistance or regulatory visit;
(4) Provide information about how the business may provide
anonymous feedback regarding a technical assistance or other regulatory
visit; and
