Kittitas Groundwater Study (30000029)
The appropriation in this section is subject to the following conditions and limitations:
By September 30, 2010, if, after consultation with major Yakima basin governments and stakeholders, the department of ecology and Kittitas county reach an agreement on a preferred approach, including the appropriate geographic scope and administering entity, the appropriation may be fully or partially redirected for the following purposes:
(1) Funds may be provided to develop and implement water banking and transfer methods and agreements that are fully protective of senior water rights and that protect domestic groundwater users and improve the profitability of farming operations. The legislature finds such activities to be in the public interest because they can help sustain the viability of the agricultural economy and enhance the certainty of water supplies for domestic groundwater users.
(2) Funds may be provided to lease or purchase water rights to create a reserve water supply for domestic groundwater users that have a groundwater right with a priority date later than May 10, 1905, as well as for all out-of-priority groundwater users. In securing water for such domestic groundwater users, strong preference shall be given to the use of water banking and transfer methods that provide alternatives to permanent purchase and dry-up of agricultural water rights in the basin, including dry-year options, water banking, long-term water supply lease agreements, long-term agricultural land fallowing agreements, and reduced consumptive use through efficiency or alternative cropping arrangements while maintaining historic return flows.
(3) A portion of the appropriation may be used for administrative costs, not to exceed four percent, and other costs associated with leasing or acquiring and transferring the water rights. All costs shall be fully recovered from participating domestic water users for their prorated portion of the cost, including but not limited to the costs of securing a water right or rights for this purpose, costs associated with the development and implementation of alternative agricultural water transfer methods, associated annual operational costs, and federal water service contract costs owed to the United States bureau of reclamation. Funds recovered in this manner shall be deposited in the state and local improvement revolving fund and may be used for any purpose provided in this section.

The appropriation in this section is subject to the following conditions and limitations:
(1) The total appropriation is provided to the department solely to transfer from trust status, or enter into fifty year leases for, certain trust lands of statewide significance deemed appropriate for state park, fish and wildlife habitat, natural area preserve, natural resources conservation area, open space, housing and essential government services, or recreation purposes. The approved list of properties for lease or transfer is identified in the LEAP capital document No. 2009-2a, developed April 23, 2009.
(2) Property transferred under this section must be appraised and transferred at fair market value. The value of the timber transferred must 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 may be made for the resource management cost account under RCW 79.64.040. The value of the land transferred must be deposited in the natural resources real property replacement account.
(3) Property subject to lease agreements under this section must be appraised at fair market value. Lease terms must be fifty years with options to renew for an additional fifty years. Lease payments must be lump sum payments for the entire term of the lease at the beginning of the lease. The department shall calculate such lump sum payments using professional appraisal standards. These lease payments may not exceed the fee simple purchase price based on current fair market value and must be deposited by the department to the common school construction account in the same manner as lease revenues from other common school trust lands. No deduction may be made for the resource management cost account under RCW 79.64.040.
(4) All reasonable costs
incurred by the department to implement this section are authorized to be paid

percent of the 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. Transfer and lease agreements for properties identified in subsection (1) of this section must include terms that restrict the use of the property to the intended purpose. Transfer and lease agreements may include provisions for receiving agencies to request alternative uses of the property, provided the alternative uses are compatible with the original intended public purpose and the department and legislature approves such uses.
(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 based on new, substantive information, if it is determined that transfer of the property is not in the statewide interest of either the common school trust or the receiving agency.
(8) The department shall execute trust land transfers that, after the deduction of reasonable costs as provided in subsection (4) of this section, eighty percent of the total value of transferred property is timber value and is deposited in the common school construction account. To achieve the eighty percent requirement, the department may choose to lease properties originally intended as transfers.
(9) $4,189,000 of the amount appropriated is provided solely for fifty-year leases of development rights from timber lands at risk of conversion to non-timber land uses purchased from appropriations in the 2007-2009 fiscal period.

Jobs Act for K-12 Public Schools (91000010)
The appropriation in this section is subject to the following conditions and limitations:
(1) The appropriation is provided solely for grants to K-12 public school districts for energy and operational cost savings improvements and related projects that result in energy and utility and operational cost savings. Related projects are those projects that must be completed in order for the energy efficiency improvement to be effective.
(2) The office of the superintendent of public instruction, in consultation with the department of general administration, the department of commerce, and the Washington State University energy program shall establish a competitive process to solicit and evaluate applications from K-12 public school districts. Final grant awards shall be determined by the office of the superintendent of public instruction.
(3) Grants must be awarded in competitive rounds, as provided in this subsection:
(a) Grants to K-12 public school districts, with at least five percent of the total grant round for small K-12 school districts with fewer than 1,000 full-time equivalent students.
(b) Grants shall be distributed in additional competitive rounds the same as established in (a) of this subsection.
(4) Within each competitive round, projects must be weighted and prioritized based on the following criteria and in the following order:
(a) Leverage ratio: In each round, the higher the leverage ratio of nonstate funding sources to state jobs act grant, the higher the project ranking.
(b) Energy savings: In each round, the higher the energy savings, the higher the project ranking. Applicants must submit documentation that demonstrates energy and operational cost savings resulting from the installation of energy equipment and improvements. The documentation must include, but is not limited to the following:
(i) A description of energy equipment and improvements; and
(ii) A description of energy and operational cost savings. The energy savings analysis must be performed by a licensed engineer.
(c) Expediency of expenditure: Project readiness to spend funds must be prioritized so that the legislative intent to expend funds quickly is met.
(5) Projects that do not use energy savings performance contracting must: (a) Verify energy and operational cost savings for ten years or until energy and operational costs savings pay for the project, whichever is shorter; (b) follow the department of general administration's energy savings performance contracting project guidelines; and (c) employ a licensed engineer for the energy audit and construction. The department of general administration may require third-party verification of savings if a project is not implemented by an energy savings performance contractor selected by the department of general administration through the request of qualifications process. Third-party verification must be conducted either by an energy savings performance contractor selected by the department of general administration through a request for qualifications or by a project or educational service district resource conservation manager.

(c) During the period of initial bond indebtedness under the program, the owner of the property must meet one of the following requirements: A minimum of twenty percent of the units will be occupied by households earning less than fifty percent of area median income and an additional thirty-one percent of the units will be occupied by persons earning less than eighty percent of area median income; or forty percent of the units will be occupied by households earning less than sixty percent of area median income and an additional eleven percent of the units will be occupied by households earning less than eighty percent of area median income.
(d) After the initial bond indebtedness is retired, the rents charged for units in the project will be adjusted to be sufficient to pay reasonable operation and maintenance expenses, including necessary capital needs, and to make reasonable deposits into a reserve account with the intent of providing affordable housing to very low or low-income households for the remaining useful life of the property. The reasonableness of the rent levels must be periodically approved by the commission based on information provided by the owner of the property about income, expenses, and necessary reserve levels. The determination of the commission regarding the reasonableness of the rent levels will be final.
(e) The commission will enter into a recorded regulatory agreement with the borrower at the time of the issuance of bonds under the program for the purpose of ensuring that the property will meet the income and rent restrictions established in this section. The commission may charge such compliance fees as necessary to ensure enforcement of the income and rent restrictions during the useful life of the property.
(3) One billion dollars of the outstanding indebtedness of the commission is for the primary purpose of implementing the Washington works housing program.
(4) If no subsidies are available to make the program in subsection (2) of this section feasible; then the commission may pass a resolution stating these facts and authorize the use of a portion of the one billion dollars of indebtedness intended for the program to support its other bond programs until such time as the one billion dollars is exhausted or subsidies are available to make the program feasible.
Sec. 6027. RCW 39.86.100 and 2001 c 330 s 1 are each amended to read as follows:
The federal ((tax
reform act)) internal revenue code of 1986, as amended
imposes ((an annual)) ceilings on the aggregate amount of ((federally
tax-exempt private activity)) certain types of bonds, including tax-exempt
private activity bonds ((for housing, student loans, exempt facilities,
small issue industrial, redevelopment, and certain public utility projects))
and other types, that may be issued during any calendar year by or on
behalf of states and their political subdivisions. ((In 2001, the ceiling
will be increased to sixty-two dollars and fifty cents per capita and in 2002
the ceiling will be increased to seventy-five dollars per capita, to be indexed
annually, for 2003 and every year thereafter. However, a study by the
department of community development indicates that the dollar amount of the
state ceiling is considerably less than the anticipated dollar amount for which
issuers would need an allocation from the state ceiling.)) The ((tax
reform act of 1986)) code provides a formula for allocating the
annual tax-exempt private activity bond ceiling among various issuers of
private activity bonds for housing, student loans, exempt facilities, and
redevelopment projects within a state, but permits each state to enact a
different allocation method that is appropriate to that state's needs. In
addition, congress might, from time to time, amend the code by authorizing
state ceilings on additional types of bonds. The purpose of this chapter
is to provide a flexible and efficient method of allocating the annual state
ceiling in Washington in a manner that recognizes the need of the state and its
political subdivisions to finance activities or projects that satisfy a
substantial public purpose.

SECOND READING
Representative Dickerson moved the adoption of amendment (1705).
Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:
"NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. INTENT. (1) The legislature finds that:
(a) Low-income families and individuals often face significant barriers to receiving the services and benefits that they are qualified to receive. These services are essential to meeting individuals' basic needs, and provide critical support to low-income individuals who are working or who have disabilities that prevent them from working;
(b) Each year millions of federal dollars go unclaimed due to underutilization of benefits such as tax credits, health care coverage, and food support;
(c) State agencies have been engaged in an effort to implement an online benefit portal to simplify and streamline access to state, federal, and local benefits that include a broad array of public benefits;
(d) Access to education and training gives low-income individuals and families the opportunity to acquire the skills they need to become successfully employed and attain self-sufficiency; and
(e) Agencies have been engaged in efforts to increase access to training and education for recipients of federal food assistance.
(2) The legislature therefore intends to strengthen existing efforts by providing enhanced structure and direction to ensure that a strong partnership among colleges, state agencies, community partners, and philanthropy be established. The legislature also intends to provide an efficient, effective, integrated approach to the delivery of basic support services and education and training programs. The integrated approach should include the creation of a one-stop-shop, online benefits portal where individuals can apply for a broad array of services, including public benefits and education and training support, and the expansion of the food stamp employment and training program.
(3) The legislature further finds that:
(a) The general assistance program can be reformed to better support the ability of persons who are unable to work due to physical or mental health impairments to either return to work, or transition to federal supplemental security income benefits; and
(b) Persons who are homeless and suffering from mental illness or chemical dependency are particularly vulnerable, because homelessness is a substantial barrier to successful participation in, and completion of, needed treatment services.
(4) Through the reforms included in this act, the legislature intends to end the general assistance program and establish the disability lifeline program, and to implement multiple strategies designed to improve the employment and basic support outcomes of persons receiving disability lifeline benefits. The legislature further intends to focus services on persons who are homeless and have a mental illness or chemical dependency by providing housing vouchers as an alternative to a cash grant so that these persons can be in stable housing and thus have a greater opportunity to succeed in treatment.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 2. A new section is added to chapter 74.04 RCW to read as follows:
OPPORTUNITY PORTAL. (1) An online opportunity portal shall be established to provide the public with more effective access to available state, federal, and local services. The secretary of the department of social and health services shall act as the executive branch sponsor of the portal planning process. Under the leadership of the secretary, the department shall:
(a) Identify and select an appropriate solution and acquisition approach to integrate technology systems to create a user-friendly electronic tool for Washington residents to apply for benefits;
(b) Facilitate the adaptation of state information technology systems to allow applications generated through the opportunity portal and other compatible electronic application systems to seamlessly link to appropriate state information systems;
(c) Ensure that the portal provides access to a broad array of state, federal, and local services, including but not limited to: Health care services, higher education financial aid, tax credits, civic engagement, nutrition assistance, energy assistance, family support, and disability lifeline benefits as defined in sections 4 through 13 of this act;
(d) Design an implementation strategy for the portal that maximizes collaboration with community-based organizations to facilitate its use by low-income individuals and families;
(e) Provide access to the portal at a wide array of locations including but not limited to: Community or technical colleges, community college campuses where community service offices are colocated, community-based organizations, libraries, churches, food banks, state agencies, early childhood education sites, and labor unions;
(f) Ensure project resources maximize available federal and private funds for development and initial operation of the opportunity portal. Any incidental costs to state agencies shall be derived from existing resources. This subsection does not obligate or preclude the appropriation of future state funding for the opportunity portal;
(g) Determine the solution and acquisition approach by June 1, 2010.
(2) By December 1, 2011, and annually thereafter, the department of social and health services shall report to the legislature and governor. The report shall include data and information on implementation and outcomes of the opportunity portal, including any increases in the use of public benefits and increases in federal funding.
(3) The department shall develop a plan for implementing paperless application processes for the services included in the opportunity portal for which the electronic exchange of application information is possible. The plan should include a goal of achieving, to the extent possible, the transition of these services to paperless application processes by July 1, 2012. The plan must comply with federal statutes and regulations and must allow applicants to submit applications by alternative means to ensure that access to benefits will not be restricted.
(4) To the extent that the department enters into a contractual relationship to accomplish the purposes of this section, such contract or contracts shall be performance-based.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 3. A new section is added to chapter 74.04 RCW to read as follows:
BASIC FOOD EMPLOYMENT AND TRAINING PROGRAM. (1) The department, the employment security department, and the state board for community and technical colleges shall work in partnership to expand the food stamp employment and training program. Subject to federal approval, the program shall be expanded to three additional community colleges or other community-based locations in 2010 and shall expand capacity at participating colleges. To the greatest extent possible, expansion shall be geographically diverse. The agencies shall:
(a) Identify and seek out partnerships with community-based organizations that can provide support services and case management to participants through performance-based contracts in the food stamp employment and training program, and do not replace the positions or work of department employees;
(b) Identify eligible nonfederal matching funds to draw down the federal match for food stamp employment and training services. Matching funds may include: Local funds, foundation grants, employer- paid costs, and the state allocation to community and technical colleges.
(2) Employment and training funds may be allocated for: Educational programs to develop skills for employability, vocational education, English as a second language courses, adult basic education, GED courses, remedial programs, job readiness training, case management, intake, assessment, evaluation, and barrier removal and support services such as tuition, books, child care, transportation, housing, and counseling services.
(3) The department shall annually track and report outcomes including those achieved through performance-based contracts as follows: Federal funding received, the number of participants served, achievement points, the number of participants who enter employment during or after participation in the food stamp employment and training program, and the average wage of jobs attained. The report shall be submitted to the governor and appropriate committees of the legislature on November 1st of each year, beginning in 2010.
(4) For purposes of this section, "food stamp employment and training program" refers to a program established and administered through the employment security department and the department of social and health services.
Sec. 4. RCW 74.04.005 and 2003 1st sp.s. c 10 s 1 are each amended to read as follows:
For the purposes of this title, unless the context indicates otherwise, the following definitions shall apply:

lifeline benefits and federal aid assistance.
(2) "Department"‑-The department of social and health services.
(3) "County or local office"‑-The administrative office for one or more counties or designated service areas.
(4) "Director" or "secretary" means the secretary of social and health services.
(5) "Disability lifeline program" means a program that provides aid and support in accordance with the conditions set out in this subsection.
(a) Aid and assistance shall be provided to persons who are not eligible to receive federal aid assistance, other than basic food benefits transferred electronically and medical assistance and meet one of the following conditions:
(i) Are pregnant and in need, based upon the current income and resource requirements of the federal temporary assistance for needy families program; or

(A) Are citizens or aliens lawfully admitted for permanent residence or otherwise residing in the United States under color of law;
(B) Have furnished the department their social security number. If the social security number cannot be furnished because it has not been issued or is not known, an application for a number shall be made prior to authorization of benefits, and the social security number shall be provided to the department upon receipt;
(C) Have not refused or failed without good cause to participate in drug or alcohol treatment if an assessment by a certified chemical dependency counselor indicates a need for such treatment. Good cause must be found to exist when a person's physical or mental condition, as determined by the department, prevents the person from participating in drug or alcohol dependency treatment, when needed outpatient drug or alcohol treatment is not available to the person in the county of his or her residence or when needed inpatient treatment is not available in a location that is reasonably accessible for the person; and
(D) Have not refused or failed without good cause to participate in vocational rehabilitation services, if an assessment conducted under section 5 of this act indicates that the person might benefit from such services. Good cause must be found to exist when a person's physical or mental condition, as determined by the department, prevents the person from participating in vocational rehabilitation services, or when vocational rehabilitation services are not available to the person in the county of his or her residence.
(b)(i) Persons who initially apply and are found eligible for disability lifeline benefits based upon incapacity from gainful employment under (a) of this subsection on or after September 2, 2010, who are homeless and have been assessed as needing chemical dependency or mental health treatment or both, must agree, as a condition of eligibility for the disability lifeline program, to accept a housing voucher in lieu of a cash grant if a voucher is available. The department shall establish the dollar value of the housing voucher. The dollar value of the housing voucher may differ from the value of the cash grant. Persons receiving a housing voucher under this subsection also shall receive a cash stipend of fifty dollars per month.
(ii) If the department of commerce has determined under section 8 of this act that sufficient housing is not available, persons described in this subsection who apply for disability lifeline benefits during the time period that housing is not available shall receive a cash grant in lieu of a cash stipend and housing voucher.
(iii) Persons who refuse to accept a housing voucher under this subsection but otherwise meet the eligibility requirements of (a) of this subsection are eligible for medical care services benefits under RCW 74.09.035, subject to the time limits in (h) of this subsection.
(c) The following persons are not eligible for the disability lifeline program:
(i) Persons who are unemployable due primarily to alcohol or drug addiction. These persons shall be referred to appropriate assessment, treatment, shelter, or supplemental security income referral services as authorized under chapter 74.50 RCW. Referrals shall be made at the time of application or at the time of eligibility review. This subsection shall not be construed to prohibit the department from granting disability lifeline benefits to alcoholics and drug addicts who are incapacitated due to other physical or mental conditions that meet the eligibility criteria for the disability lifeline program;
(ii) Persons who refuse or fail to cooperate in obtaining federal aid assistance, without good cause.
(d) Disability lifeline benefits shall be provided only to persons who are not members of assistance units receiving federal aid assistance, except as provided in (a) of this subsection, and who will accept available services that can reasonably be expected to enable the person to work or reduce the need for assistance unless there is good cause to refuse. Failure to accept such services shall result in termination until the person agrees to cooperate in accepting such services and subject to the following maximum periods of ineligibility after reapplication:
(i) First failure: One week;
(ii) Second failure within six months: One month;
(iii) Third and subsequent failure within one year: Two months.
(e) Persons who are likely eligible for federal supplemental security income benefits shall be moved into the disability lifeline expedited component of the disability lifeline program. Persons placed in the expedited component of the program may, if otherwise eligible, receive disability lifeline benefits pending application for federal supplemental security income benefits. The monetary value of any disability lifeline benefit that is subsequently duplicated by the person's receipt of supplemental security income for the same period shall be considered a debt due the state and shall by operation of law be subject to recovery through all available legal remedies.
(f) For purposes of determining whether a person is incapacitated from gainful employment under (a) of this subsection:
(i) The department shall adopt by rule medical criteria for disability lifeline incapacity determinations to ensure that eligibility decisions are consistent with statutory requirements and are based on clear, objective medical information. The criteria should recognize that the standard for incapacity in this subsection, as evidenced by the ninety-day duration standard, is not intended to be as stringent as federal supplemental security income disability standards. In no case shall the criteria for disability lifeline incapacity determinations be more restrictive than the disability determination standards for the federal supplemental security income program; and
(ii) The process implementing the medical criteria shall involve consideration of opinions of the treating or consulting physicians or health care professionals regarding incapacity, and any eligibility decision which rejects uncontroverted medical opinion must set forth clear and convincing reasons for doing so.
(g) Persons receiving disability lifeline benefits based upon a finding of incapacity from gainful employment who remain otherwise eligible shall have their benefits discontinued unless the recipient demonstrates no material improvement in their medical or mental health condition. The department may discontinue benefits when there was specific error in the prior determination that found the person eligible by reason of incapacitation.
(h)(i) Beginning September 1, 2010, no person who is currently receiving or becomes eligible for disability lifeline program benefits shall be eligible to receive benefits under the program for more than twenty-four months in a sixty-month period. For purposes of this subsection, months of receipt of general assistance-unemployable benefits count toward the twenty-four month limit. Months during which a person received benefits under the expedited component of the disability lifeline or general assistance program or under the aged, blind, or disabled component of the disability lifeline or general assistance program shall not be included when determining whether a person has been receiving benefits for more than twenty-four months. On or before July 1, 2010, the department must review the cases of all persons who have received disability lifeline benefits or general assistance unemployable benefits for at least twelve months as of that date. The review should determine whether the person meets the federal supplemental security income disability standard and, if the person does not meet that standard, whether the receipt of additional services could lead to employability. If a need for additional services is identified, the department shall provide case management services, such as assistance with arranging transportation or locating stable housing, that will facilitate the person's access to needed services. A person may not be determined ineligible due to exceeding the time limit unless he or she has received a case review under this subsection finding that the person does not meet the federal supplemental security income disability standard.
(ii) The time limit in (h)(i) of this subsection may be modified to eighteen months in a thirty-six month period if the following conditions are met, as determined by the Washington state institute for public policy:
(A) The department is consistently reviewing the cases of all persons who have received disability lifeline benefits or general assistance unemployable benefits for twelve months, as described in (h)(i) of this subsection in a timely manner.
(B) The performance goals in section 7(2) of this act have been met consistently on a statewide basis by the department and its contracted entities for a continuous period of twelve months. Any modification of the time limit under this subsection must be accomplished through the adoption of rules under chapter 34.05 RCW.
(iii) The time limits established under this subsection expire June 30, 2013.
(i) No person may be considered an eligible individual for disability lifeline benefits with respect to any month if during that month the person:
(i) Is fleeing to avoid prosecution of, or to avoid custody or confinement for conviction of, a felony, or an attempt to commit a felony, under the laws of the state of Washington or the place from which the person flees; or
(ii) Is violating a condition of probation, community supervision, or parole imposed under federal or state law for a felony or gross misdemeanor conviction.
(6) "Disability lifeline expedited" means a component of the disability lifeline program under which persons receiving disability lifeline benefits have been determined, after examination by an appropriate health care provider, to be likely to be eligible for federal supplemental security income benefits based on medical and behavioral health evidence that meets the disability standards used for the federal supplemental security income program.
(7) "Federal aid assistance"‑-The specific categories of assistance for which provision is made in any federal law existing or hereafter passed by which payments are made from the federal government to the state in aid or in respect to payment by the state for public assistance rendered to any category of needy persons for which provision for federal funds or aid may from time to time be made, or a federally administered needs-based program.
(((6)(a)
"General assistance"‑-Aid to persons in need who:
(i) Are not eligible

good cause, is not eligible for general assistance;
(ii) Meet one of the
following conditions:
(A) Pregnant:
PROVIDED, That need is based on the current income and resource requirements of
the federal temporary assistance for needy families program; or

unemployable due to alcohol or drug addiction are not eligible for general
assistance. Persons receiving general assistance on July 26, 1987, or becoming
eligible for such assistance thereafter, due to an alcohol or drug-related
incapacity, shall be referred to appropriate assessment, treatment, shelter, or
supplemental security income referral services as authorized under chapter
74.50 RCW. Referrals shall be made at the time of application or at the time
of eligibility review. Alcoholic and drug addicted clients who are receiving
general assistance on July 26, 1987, may remain on general assistance if they
otherwise retain their eligibility until they are assessed for services under
chapter 74.50 RCW. Subsection (6)(a)(ii)(B) of this section shall not be
construed to prohibit the department from granting general assistance benefits
to alcoholics and drug addicts who are incapacitated due to other physical or
mental conditions that meet the eligibility criteria for the general assistance
program;
(iii) Are citizens or
aliens lawfully admitted for permanent residence or otherwise residing in the
United States under color of law; and
(iv) Have furnished
the department their social security account number. If the social security

known, an application for a number shall be made prior to authorization of
assistance, and the social security number shall be provided to the department
upon receipt.
(b) Notwithstanding
the provisions of subsection (6)(a)(i), (ii), and (c) of this section, general
assistance shall be provided to the following recipients of federal-aid
assistance:
(i) Recipients of
supplemental security income whose need, as defined in this section, is not met
by such supplemental security income grant because of separation from a spouse;
or
(ii) To the extent
authorized by the legislature in the biennial appropriations act, to recipients
of temporary assistance for needy families whose needs are not being met
because of a temporary reduction in monthly income below the entitled benefit
payment level caused by loss or reduction of wages or unemployment compensation
benefits or some other unforeseen circumstances. The amount of general
assistance authorized shall not exceed the difference between the entitled
benefit payment level and the amount of income actually received.
(c) General
assistance shall be provided only to persons who are not members of assistance
units receiving federal aid assistance, except as provided in subsection
(6)(a)(ii)(A) and (b) of this section, and will accept available services which
can reasonably be expected to enable the person to work or reduce the need for
assistance unless there is good cause to refuse. Failure to accept such
services shall result in termination until the person agrees to cooperate in
accepting such services and subject to the following maximum periods of
ineligibility after reapplication:
(i) First failure:
One week;
(ii) Second failure
within six months: One month;
(iii) Third and
subsequent failure within one year: Two months.
(d) Persons found
eligible for general assistance based on incapacity from gainful employment
may, if otherwise eligible, receive general assistance pending application for
federal supplemental security income benefits. Any general assistance that is
subsequently duplicated by the person's receipt of supplemental security income
for the same period shall be considered a debt due the state and shall by
operation of law be subject to recovery through all available legal remedies.
(e) The department
shall adopt by rule medical criteria for general assistance eligibility to
ensure that eligibility decisions are consistent with statutory requirements
and are based on clear, objective medical information.
(f) The process
implementing the medical criteria shall involve consideration of opinions of
the treating or consulting physicians or health care professionals regarding
incapacity, and any eligibility decision which rejects uncontroverted medical
opinion must set forth clear and convincing reasons for doing so.
(g) Recipients of
general assistance based upon a finding of incapacity from gainful employment
who remain otherwise eligible shall have their benefits discontinued unless the
recipient demonstrates no material improvement in their medical or mental
condition. The department may discontinue benefits when there was specific
error in the prior determination that found the recipient eligible by reason of
incapacitation. Recipients of general assistance based upon pregnancy who
relinquish their child for adoption, remain otherwise eligible, and are not
eligible to receive benefits under the federal temporary assistance for needy
families program shall not have their benefits terminated until the end of the
month in which the period of six weeks following the birth of the recipient's
child falls. Recipients of the federal temporary assistance for needy families
program who lose their eligibility solely because of the birth and
relinquishment of the qualifying child may receive general assistance through
the end of the month in which the period of six weeks following the birth of
the child falls.
(h) No person may be
considered an eligible individual for general assistance with respect to any
month if during that month the person:
(i) Is fleeing to
avoid prosecution of, or to avoid custody or confinement for conviction of, a
felony, or an attempt to commit a felony, under the laws of the state of
Washington or the place from which the person flees; or
(ii) Is violating a

REFERRAL TO THE DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS. During the application process for disability lifeline benefits, the department shall inquire of each applicant whether he or she has ever served in the United States military service. If the applicant answers in the affirmative, the department shall confer with a veterans benefit specialist with the Washington state department of veterans affairs or a contracted veterans service officer in the community to determine whether the applicant is eligible for any benefits or programs offered to veterans by either the state or the federal government.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 7. A new section is added to chapter 74.04 RCW to read as follows:
EARLY SSI TRANSITION PROJECT. (1) To ensure that persons who are likely eligible for supplemental security income benefits are transitioned from disability lifeline benefits to disability lifeline expedited and the medicaid program, and then to the supplemental security income program as quickly as practicable, the department shall implement the early supplemental security income transition project starting in King, Pierce, and Spokane counties no later than July 1, 2010, and extending statewide no later than October 1, 2011. The program shall be implemented through performance-based contracts with managed health care systems providing medical care services under RCW 74.09.035 or other qualified entities. The participants shall have the following responsibilities and duties under this program:
(a) The entities with whom the department contracts to provide the program shall be responsible for:

(ii) Immediately sharing the results of the disability screening with the department;
(iii) Managing disability lifeline incapacity evaluation examinations to provide timely access to needed medical and behavioral health evaluations and standardizing health care providers' conduct of incapacity evaluations. To maximize the timeliness and efficiency of incapacity evaluation examinations, the department must strongly consider contracting with a managed health care system with a network of health care providers that are trained and have agreed to conduct disability lifeline medical and psychological incapacity and recertification exams. The department may obtain medical evidence and other relevant information from sources other than the contracted entity if such evidence is available at the time of a person's application for disability lifeline benefits and is sufficient to support a determination that the person is incapacitated;
(iv) Maintaining a centralized appointment and clinical data system; and
(v) Assisting persons receiving disability lifeline benefits with obtaining additional medical or behavioral health examinations needed to meet the disability standard for federal supplemental security income benefits and with submission of applications for supplemental security income benefits.
(b) The department shall be responsible for:
(i) Determining incapacity and eligibility for disability lifeline benefits;
(ii) Making timely determinations that a person receiving disability lifeline benefits is likely eligible for supplemental security income based on medical evidence and other relevant information provided by a contracted entity, and immediately referring such persons to a contracted entity for services;
(iii) Developing standardized procedures for sharing data and information with the contracted entities to ensure timely identification of clients who have not been transferred to the disability lifeline expedited program within four months of their date of application, but who may, upon further review, be appropriately transferred to that program;
(iv) Providing case management, in partnership with the managed health care system or contracted entity, to support persons' transition to federal supplemental security income and medicaid benefits; and
(v) Identifying a savings determination methodology, in consultation with the contracted entities, the office of financial management, and the legislature, on or before implementation of the project.
(2) Early supplemental security income transition project contracts shall include the following performance goals:

in a sum not to exceed one million dollars. Such funds shall be deposited as
agreed upon by the secretary and the state auditor in accordance with the laws
regulating the deposits of public funds. Such security shall be required of
the depository in connection with the fund as the state treasurer may
prescribe. Moneys remaining in the fund shall be returned to the general fund
at the end of the biennium, or an accounting of proper expenditures from the
fund shall be made to the state auditor. All expenditures from such central
operating fund shall be reimbursed out of and charged to the proper program
appropriated by the use of such forms and vouchers as are approved by the
secretary of the department and the state auditor. Expenditures from such fund
shall be audited by the director of financial management and the state auditor

assistance, or any person who after becoming a recipient transfers any property
or any interest in property without the consent of the secretary, shall be
ineligible for assistance for a period of time during which the reasonable

is hereby authorized to allow exceptions in cases where undue hardship would
result from a denial of assistance.

(1) The department, in collaboration with the health care authority, the department of health, the department of labor and industries, the Washington state hospital association, the Puget Sound health alliance, and the forum, a collaboration of health carriers, physicians, and hospitals in Washington state, shall design a system of hospital quality incentive payments. The design of the system shall be submitted to the relevant policy and fiscal committees of the legislature by December 15, 2010. The system shall be based upon the following principles:
(a) Evidence-based treatment and processes shall be used to improve health care outcomes for hospital patients;
(b) Effective purchasing strategies to improve the quality of health care services should involve the use of common quality improvement measures by public and private health care purchasers, while recognizing that some measures may not be appropriate for application to specialty pediatric, psychiatric, or rehabilitation hospitals;
(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 hospitals should be minimized by giving priority to measures hospitals are currently required to report to governmental agencies, such as the hospital 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 hospitals to achieve, yet represent real improvements in quality and performance for a majority of hospitals in Washington state; and
(e) Hospital performance and incentive payments should be designed in a manner such that all noncritical access hospitals 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) Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in section 17(1) of this act, and for state fiscal year 2013 and each fiscal year thereafter, assessments may be increased to support an additional one percent increase in inpatient hospital rates for noncritical access hospitals that meet the quality incentive benchmarks established under this section.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 15. A new section is added to chapter 70.47 RCW to read as follows:
The increases in inpatient and outpatient reimbursement rates included in chapter 74.--- RCW (the new chapter created in section 23 of this act) shall not be reflected in hospital payment rates for services provided to basic health enrollees under this chapter.

(1) If an entity owns or operates more than one hospital subject to assessment under this chapter, the entity shall pay the assessment for each hospital separately. However, if the entity operates multiple hospitals under a single medicaid provider number, it may pay the assessment for the hospitals in the aggregate.
(2) Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, if a hospital subject to the assessment imposed under this chapter ceases to conduct hospital operations throughout a state fiscal year, the assessment for the quarter in which the cessation occurs shall be adjusted by multiplying the assessment computed under section 4 (1) and (3) of this act by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the year which the hospital conducts, operates, or maintains the hospital and the denominator of which is three hundred sixty-five. Immediately prior to ceasing to conduct, operate, or maintain a hospital, the hospital shall pay the adjusted assessment for the fiscal year to the extent not previously paid.
(3) Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, in the case of a hospital that commences conducting, operating, or maintaining a hospital that is not exempt from payment of the assessment under section 5 of this act and that did not conduct, operate, or maintain such hospital throughout the cost reporting year used to determine the assessment amount, the assessment for that hospital shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of nonmedicare inpatient days reported to the department by the hospital on a quarterly basis. The hospital shall be eligible to receive increased payments under this chapter beginning on the date it commences hospital operations.
(4) Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, if a hospital previously subject to assessment is sold or transferred to another entity and remains subject to assessment, the assessment for that hospital shall be computed based upon the cost report data previously submitted by that hospital. The assessment shall be allocated between the transferor and transferee based on the number of days within the assessment period that each owned, operated, or maintained the hospital.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 17. CONDITIONS. (1) The assessment, collection, and disbursement of funds under this chapter shall be conditional upon:
(a) Withdrawal of those aspects of any pending state plan amendments previously submitted to the centers for medicare and medicaid services that are inconsistent with this chapter, specifically any pending state plan amendment related to the four percent rate reductions for inpatient and outpatient hospital rates and elimination of the small rural disproportionate share hospital payment program as implemented July 1, 2009;
(b) Approval by the centers for medicare and medicaid services of any state plan amendments or waiver requests that are necessary in order to implement the applicable sections of this chapter;
(c) To the extent necessary, amendment of contracts between the department and managed care organizations in order to implement this chapter; and
(d) Certification by the office of financial management that appropriations have been adopted that fully support the rates established in this chapter for the upcoming fiscal year.
(2) This chapter does not take effect or ceases to be imposed, and any moneys remaining in the fund shall be refunded to hospitals in proportion to the amounts paid by such hospitals, if and to the extent that:
(a) An appellate court or the centers for medicare and medicaid services makes a final determination that any element of this chapter, other than section 11 of this act, cannot be validly implemented;
(b) Medicaid inpatient or outpatient reimbursement rates for hospitals are reduced below the combined rates established by sections 9 and 10 of this act;

(d) Other funding available for the medicaid program is not sufficient to maintain medicaid inpatient and outpatient reimbursement rates for hospitals and small rural disproportionate share payments at one hundred percent of the levels in effect on July 1, 2009; or
(e) The fund is used as a substitute for or to supplant other funds, except as authorized by section 3(3)(e) of this act.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 18. SEVERABILITY. (1) The provisions of this chapter are not severable: If the conditions set forth in section 17(1) of this act are not satisfied or if any of the circumstances set forth in section 17(2) of this act should occur, this entire chapter shall have no effect from that point forward, except that if the payment under section 11 of this act, or the application thereof to any hospital or circumstances does not receive approval by the centers for medicare and medicaid services as described in section 17(1)(b) of this act or is determined to be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, the other provisions of this chapter or its application to hospitals or circumstances other than those to which it is held invalid shall not be affected thereby.
(2) In the event that any portion of this chapter shall have been validly implemented and the entire chapter is later rendered ineffective under this section, prior assessments and payments under the validly implemented portions shall not be affected.

Sec. 19. 2009 c 564 s 209 (uncodified) is amended to read as follows:
FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL AND HEALTH SERVICES‑-MEDICAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
General Fund‑-State Appropriation (FY 2010)........................................................................................................................ $1,597,387,000
General Fund‑-State Appropriation (FY 2011)........................................................................................................................ $1,984,797,000
General Fund‑-Federal Appropriation...................................................................................................................................... $5,210,672,000
General Fund‑-Private/Local Appropriation.................................................................................................................................. $12,903,000
Emergency Medical Services and Trauma Care Systems
Trust Account‑-State Appropriation...................................................................................................................................... $15,076,000
Tobacco Prevention and Control Account‑-
State Appropriation................................................................................................................................................................... $3,766,000
TOTAL APPROPRIATION....................................................................................................................................... $8,824,601,000
The appropriations in this section are subject to the following conditions and limitations:
(1) Based on quarterly expenditure reports and caseload forecasts, if the department estimates that expenditures for the medical assistance program will exceed the appropriations, the department shall take steps including but not limited to reduction of rates or elimination of optional services to reduce expenditures so that total program costs do not exceed the annual appropriation authority.
(2) In determining financial eligibility for medicaid-funded services, the department is authorized to disregard recoveries by Holocaust survivors of insurance proceeds or other assets, as defined in RCW 48.104.030.
(3) The legislature affirms that it is in the state's interest for Harborview medical center to remain an economically viable component of the state's health care system.
(4) When a person is ineligible for medicaid solely by reason of residence in an institution for mental diseases, the department shall provide the person with the same benefits as he or she would receive if eligible for medicaid, using state-only funds to the extent necessary.
(5) In accordance with RCW 74.46.625, $6,000,000 of the general fund‑-federal appropriation is provided solely for supplemental payments to nursing homes operated by public hospital districts. The public hospital district shall be responsible for providing the required nonfederal match for the supplemental payment, and the payments shall not exceed the maximum allowable under federal rules. It is the legislature's intent that the payments shall be supplemental to and shall not in any way offset or reduce the payments calculated and provided in accordance with part E of chapter 74.46 RCW. It is the legislature's further intent that costs otherwise allowable for rate- setting and settlement against payments under chapter 74.46 RCW shall not be disallowed solely because such costs have been paid by revenues retained by the nursing home from these supplemental payments. The supplemental payments are subject to retrospective interim and final cost settlements based on the nursing homes' as-filed and final medicare cost reports. The timing of the interim and final cost settlements shall be at the department's discretion. During either the interim cost settlement or the final cost settlement, the department shall recoup from the public hospital districts the supplemental payments that exceed the medicaid cost limit and/or the medicare upper payment limit. The department shall apply federal rules for identifying the eligible incurred medicaid costs and the medicare upper payment limit.
(6) $1,110,000 of the general fund‑-federal appropriation and $1,105,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2011 are provided solely for grants to rural hospitals. The department shall distribute the funds under a formula that provides a relatively larger share of the available funding to hospitals that (a) serve a disproportionate share of low-income and medically indigent patients, and (b) have relatively smaller net financial margins, to the extent allowed by the federal medicaid program.
(7) $9,818,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2011, and $9,865,000 of the general fund‑-federal appropriation are provided solely for grants to nonrural hospitals. The department shall distribute the funds under a formula that provides a relatively larger share of the available funding to hospitals that (a) serve a disproportionate share of low-income and medically indigent patients, and (b) have relatively smaller net financial margins, to the extent allowed by the federal medicaid program.
(8) The department shall continue the inpatient hospital certified public expenditures program for the 2009-11 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 department shall submit reports to the governor and legislature by November 1, 2009, and by November 1, 2010, 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 department 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 2010 and fiscal year 2011, 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, (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 2009-11 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. $6,570,000 of the general fund-- state appropriation for fiscal year 2010, which is appropriated in section 204(1) of this act, and $1,500,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2011, which is appropriated in section 204(1) of this act, are provided solely for state grants for the participating hospitals. Sufficient amounts are appropriated in this section for the remaining state grants for the participating hospitals.
(9) The department is authorized to use funds appropriated in this section to purchase goods and supplies through direct contracting with vendors when the department determines it is cost-effective to do so.
(10) Sufficient amounts are appropriated in this section for the department to continue podiatry services for medicaid-eligible adults.
(11) Sufficient amounts are appropriated in this section for the department to provide an adult dental benefit that is at least equivalent to the benefit provided in the 2003-05 biennium.
