"NEW SECTION. Sec. 763. COMPENSATION—VACCINE BOOSTER INCENTIVE—PARTICIPATION ASSUMPTION

General Fund—State Appropriation (FY 2024). . . . . . . .($19,286,000)

The appropriations in this section are subject to the following conditions and limitations: Funding is for reductions in the expected cost of vaccine booster incentives for both represented and nonrepresented employees in general government state agencies. The underlying budget assumes an 80 percent participation rate in the incentive, far higher than the 44 percent rate of the population of Washington. This act assumes participation in the vaccine booster incentive program will be 50 percent. Agency allotments shall be adjusted for general fund-state amounts appropriated in part VII of this act for unused vaccine booster incentive payment, and those amounts placed in unalloted status and remain unexpended."

Renumber the remaining sections consecutively, and correct any references accordingly.

On page 563, beginning on line 18, strike all material through "$63,936,000" on line 22

EFFECT: Assumes passage of House Bill No. 1011 (long-term services and supports), which repeals the Long-Term Services and Supports Trust Program (Trust Program). Appropriation authority for the Employment Security Department and Department of Social and Health Services to implement the Trust Program are eliminated. Repayment to the General Fund-State for Trust Program start-up costs from the dedicated Trust account is eliminated. General Fund-State costs are partially offset by reducing the amount per state-funded full-time equivalent student at The Evergreen State College to reflect the average amount for the public regional four-year universities, and assuming that participation in the vaccine booster incentive program will be 50 percent, rather than 80 percent.

FISCAL IMPACT: Reduces the Long-Term Services and Supports Account - State by $84,702,000. Increases General Fund-State by $696,000.
