      On page 34, after line 5 of the striking amendment, insert the following:

"NEW SECTION.  Sec. 402. (1) The legislature finds that:

      (a) To further the goals of high quality public education throughout the state, each school district board of directors should have the authority to grant public schools of the district the maximum degree of flexibility possible to meet the needs of individual students and the communities in which they live; and

      (b)  Particularly in schools and communities that are struggling to improve student academic outcomes and close the achievement gap among groups of students, there is a critical need for innovative models of public education that are tailored to the unique circumstances and needs of the students in those schools and communities and implement evidence-based practices proven to be effective in reducing demographic disparities in student achievement.

      (2) Therefore, the legislature intends to:

      (a) Grant school districts and public schools greater ability to meet the educational needs of a diverse student population;

      (b) Improve educational performance through greater individual school autonomy and managerial flexibility;

      (c) Encourage innovation in education by providing local school communities and principals with greater control over levels of staffing, personnel selection and evaluation, scheduling, and educational programming with the goal of improving student achievement and closing the achievement gap; and

      (d)  Hold public schools that receive greater autonomy under this chapter accountable for student academic achievement as measured by the statewide assessments of student learning and other accountability measures.

      (3) The legislature encourages school districts identified for required action under section 103 of this act to establish innovation schools as an intervention model under section 105 of this act in any persistently lowest-performing schools identified in the District

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 403.  Any school district board of directors may establish one or more innovation schools or innovation school zones within the district as provided in this section.

      (1)(a) Any public school within a school district may submit to the board of directors of the district an innovation school plan as described under section 404 of this act.  A group of public schools within a school district that share common interests, such as geographical location or educational focus, or that sequentially serve classes of students as they progress through elementary and secondary education may jointly submit to the board of directors of the district a plan to create an innovation school zone as described under section 404 of this act.  An innovation school zone may include all public schools within a school District

      (b) A school district board of directors that receives an innovation school plan or innovation school zone plan shall either approve or disapprove the plan within sixty days of receiving the plan.  If the board of directors rejects the plan, the board must provide a written explanation of the reasons for the rejection.  The public school or group of public schools may resubmit an amended plan any time after a plan is rejected.

      (2) Any school district board of directors may initiate and collaborate with one or more public schools in the district to create one or more innovation schools through an innovation school plan or one or more innovation school zones through an innovation school zone plan.  In creating an innovation school plan or an innovation school zone plan, the board of directors must ensure that each public school affected by the plan has substantial opportunity to participate in development of the plan.

      (3) If a school district board of directors approves or creates an innovation school or an innovation school zone within the district, the board of directors may seek designation of the district as an innovation school district under section 406 of this act.

      (vii) The proposed staffing plan for the school;

      (d) Identification of the improvements in academic performance that the public school expects to achieve in implementing the innovations;

      (e) A statement of the level of support for designation as an innovation school demonstrated by the personnel employed at the school, the students and parents of students enrolled in the school, and the community surrounding the school;

      (f) An estimate of the cost savings and increased efficiencies, if any, the public school expects to achieve in implementing the identified innovations;

      (g) A listing and description of any waivers of state rules or laws and state or school district policies that are necessary for the public school to implement the identified innovations and why the waivers are necessary; and

      (h) Any additional information required by the school district board of directors to be included in an innovation school plan.

      (b) An estimate of any economies of scale that would be achieved by innovations implemented jointly by the public schools within the innovation school zone; and

      (c) A statement of the level of support for creating an innovation school zone demonstrated by the personnel employed at each public school that would be included in the zone, the students and parents of students enrolled in each of the schools, and the community surrounding the innovation school zone.  In determining the level of support, each public school shall specifically solicit input concerning the selection of schools included in the innovation school zone and the strategies and procedures that would be used in implementing and integrating the innovations within the schools in the zone.

      (3) In considering or creating an innovation school plan or an innovation school zone plan, each public school involved in the plan and each school district board of directors is strongly encouraged to consider innovations in the following areas:

      (2) Within ten days of providing comment on an innovation school plan or innovation school zone plan under subsection (1) of this section, unless the school district board of directors withdraws the plan for purposes of revision, the state board of education shall designate the school district as an innovation school district unless the state board concludes that the plan:

      "NEW SECTION.  Sec. 1.  The legislature finds that there have been ongoing, egregious examples of certain residents of the special commitment center having illegal child pornography, other prohibited pornography, and other banned materials on their computers.  The legislature also finds that activities at the special commitment center must be designed and implemented to meet the treatment goals of the special commitment center, and proper and appropriate computer usage is one such activity.  The legislature also finds that by linking computer usage to treatment plans, residents are less likely to have prohibited materials on their computers and are more likely to successfully complete their treatment plans.  Therefore, the legislature finds that residents’ computer usage in compliance with conditions placed on computer usage is essential to achieving their therapeutic goals.  If residents’ usage of computers is not in compliance or is not related to meeting their treatment goals, computer usage will be limited in order to prevent or reduce residents’ access to prohibited materials.

      Sec. 2.  RCW 71.09.080 and 2009 c 409 s 7 are each amended to read as follows:

      (1) Any person subjected to restricted liberty as a sexually violent predator pursuant to this chapter shall not forfeit any legal right or suffer any legal disability as a consequence of any actions taken or orders made, other than as specifically provided in this chapter, or as otherwise authorized by law.

      (2) (a) Any person committed or detained pursuant to this chapter shall be prohibited from possessing or accessing a personal computer if the resident's individualized treatment plan states that access to a computer is harmful to bringing about a positive response to a specific and certain phase or course of treatment.

      (b) A person who is prohibited from possessing or accessing a personal computer under (a) of this subsection (2) shall be permitted to access a limited functioning personal computer capable of word processing and limited data storage on the computer only that does not have: (i) Internet access capability; (ii) an optical drive, external drive, universal serial bus port, or similar drive capability; or (iii) the capability to display photographs, images, videos, or motion pictures, or similar display capability from any drive or port capability listed under (ii) of this subsection (2)(b).

      (3) Any person committed pursuant to this chapter has the right to adequate care and individualized treatment.  The department of social and health services shall keep records detailing all medical, expert, and professional care and treatment received by a committed person, and shall keep copies of all reports of periodic examinations made pursuant to this chapter.  All such records and reports shall be made available upon request only to:  The committed person, his or her attorney, the prosecuting attorney, the court, the protection and advocacy agency, or another expert or professional person who, upon proper showing, demonstrates a need for access to such records.

      (((3)))(4) At the time a person is taken into custody or transferred into a facility pursuant to a petition under this chapter, the professional person in charge of such facility or his or her designee shall take reasonable precautions to inventory and safeguard the personal property of the persons detained or transferred.  A copy of the inventory, signed by the staff member making it, shall be given to the person detained and shall, in addition, be open to inspection to any responsible relative, subject to limitations, if any, specifically imposed by the detained person.  For purposes of this subsection, "responsible relative" includes the guardian, conservator, attorney, spouse, parent, adult child, or adult brother or sister of the person.  The facility shall not disclose the contents of the inventory to any other person without consent of the patient or order of the court.

      (((4)))(5) Nothing in this chapter prohibits a person presently committed from exercising a right presently available to him or her for the purpose of obtaining release from confinement, including the right to petition for a writ of habeas corpus.

      (((5)))(6) No indigent person may be conditionally released or unconditionally discharged under this chapter without suitable clothing, and the secretary shall furnish the person with such sum of money as is required by RCW 72.02.100 for persons without ample funds who are released from correctional institutions.  As funds are available, the secretary may provide payment to the indigent persons conditionally released pursuant to this chapter consistent with the optional provisions of RCW 72.02.100 and 72.02.110, and may adopt rules to do so.

      (((6)))(7) If a civil commitment petition is dismissed, or a trier of fact determines that a person does not meet civil commitment criteria, the person shall be released within twenty-four hours of service of the release order on the superintendent of the special commitment center, or later by agreement of the person who is the subject of the petition.

      NEW SECTION. Sec. 3. If any provision of this act or its application to any person or circumstance is held invalid, the remainder of the act or the application of the provision to other persons or circumstances is not affected."

Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:

"NEW SECTION.  Sec. 1.  The legislature finds that a critical factor in the eventual successful outcome of a K-12 education is for students to begin school ready, both intellectually and socially, to learn.  The legislature also finds that, due to a variety of factors, some young children need supplemental instruction in preschool to assure that they have the opportunity to participate meaningfully and reach the necessary levels of achievement in the regular program of basic education.  The legislature further finds that children who participate in high quality preschool programs have improved educational and life outcomes and are more likely to graduate from high school and pursue higher education, experience successful employment opportunities, and have increased earnings.  Therefore the legislature intends to create a program of early learning that, when fully implemented, shall be an entitlement program for eligible children.

      The legislature also finds that the state early childhood education and assistance program was established to help children from low-income families be prepared for kindergarten, and that the program has been a successful model for achieving that goal.  Therefore, the legislature intends that the first phase of implementing the entitlement program of early learning shall be accomplished by utilizing the program standards and eligibility criteria in the early childhood education and assistance program.  The legislature also intends that the implementation of subsequent phases of the program established by the ready for school act of 2010 will be aligned with the implementation of the state's all-day kindergarten program in order to maximize the gains resulting from investments in the two programs.

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 2.  DEFINITIONS.  The definitions in this section apply throughout this chapter unless the context clearly requires otherwise.

      (1) "Community-based early learning providers" includes for-profit and nonprofit licensed providers of child care and preschool programs.

      (2) "Program" means the program of early learning established in section 3 of this act for eligible children who are three and four years of age.

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 3.  PROGRAM STANDARDS.  (1) Beginning September 1, 2011, an early learning program to provide voluntary preschool opportunities for children three and four years of age shall be implemented according to the funding and implementation plan in section 5 of this act.  The program must be a comprehensive program providing early childhood education and family support, options for parental involvement, and health information, screening, and referral services, as family need is determined.  Participation in the program is voluntary.  On a space available basis, the program may allow enrollment of children who are not otherwise eligible by assessing a fee.

      (2) The first phase of the program shall be implemented by utilizing the program standards and eligibility criteria in the early childhood education and assistance program.

      (3) Subsequent phases of the program including, but not limited to, program standards and eligibility criteria, shall be defined by the legislature after receiving the recommendations from the director required in section 8 of this act.

      (4) The director shall adopt rules for the following program components, as appropriate and necessary during the phased implementation of the program:

      (a) Minimum program standards, including lead teacher, assistant teacher, and staff qualifications;

      (b) Approval of program providers;

      (c) Accountability and adherence to performance standards; and

      (d) A method for allowing, on a space available basis, enrollment of children who are not otherwise eligible by assessing fees or copayments.

      (5) The department has administrative responsibility for:

      (a) Approving and contracting with providers according to rules developed by the director under this section;

      (b) In partnership with school districts, monitoring program quality and assuring the program is responsive to the needs of eligible children;

      (c) Assuring that program providers work cooperatively with school districts to coordinate the transition from preschool to kindergarten so that children and their families are well-prepared and supported; and

      (d) Providing technical assistance to contracted providers.

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 4.  ELIGIBILITY.  (1)(a) During the initial phase of implementation, the standards in RCW 43.215.405(3) used for eligibility determinations in the early childhood education and assistance program shall be used to determine eligibility for the program.

      (b) During subsequent phases of implementation, eligibility determinations shall be based on factors adopted by the legislature after receiving recommendations required in subsection (2) of this section.

      (2) The director shall develop recommendations for legislative approval regarding eligibility criteria for subsequent phases of implementation of the program.

      (3) The director shall report the recommendations required under subsection (2) of this section to the appropriate committees of the legislature not later than December 1, 2010.

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 5.  FUNDING AND STATEWIDE IMPLEMENTATION.  (1) Funding for the program of early learning established under this chapter must be appropriated to the department.  Allocations must be made on the basis of eligible children enrolled with eligible providers.

      (2) The program shall be implemented in phases, so that full implementation is achieved in the 2017-18 school year.

      (3) For the initial phase of the early learning program in school years 2011-12 and 2012-13, the legislature shall appropriate funding to the department for implementation of the program in an amount not less than the 2009-2011 enacted budget for the early childhood education and assistance program.  The appropriation shall be sufficient to fund an equivalent number of slots as funded in the 2009-2011 enacted budget.

      (4) Beginning in the 2013-14 school year, additional funding for the program must be phased in beginning in school districts providing all-day kindergarten programs under RCW 28A.150.315.

      (6) The department and the office of financial management shall annually review the caseload forecasts for the program and, beginning December 1, 2012, and annually thereafter, report to the governor and the appropriate committees of the legislature with recommendations for phasing in additional funding necessary to achieve statewide implementation in the 2017-18 school year.

      (7) School districts and approved community-based early learning providers may contract with the department to provide services under the program.  The department shall collaborate with school districts, community-based providers, and educational service districts to promote an adequate supply of approved providers.

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 6.  A new section is added to chapter 28A.320 RCW to read as follows:

      For the program of early learning established in section 3 of this act, school districts:

      (1) Shall work cooperatively with program providers to coordinate the transition from preschool to kindergarten so that children and their families are well-prepared and supported; and

      (2) May contract with the department of early learning to deliver services under the program.

Sec. 7.  RCW 43.215.020 and 2007 c 394 s 5 are each amended to read as follows:

Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:

"Sec. 1.  RCW 18.27.340 and 1997 c 314 s 17 are each amended to read as follows:

      (1) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (3) of this section, a contractor found to have committed an infraction under RCW 18.27.200 shall be assessed a monetary penalty of not less than two hundred dollars and not more than five thousand dollars.

      (2) The director may waive collection in favor of payment of restitution to a consumer complainant.

      (3) A contractor found to have committed an infraction under RCW 18.27.200 for failure to register shall be assessed a fine of not less than one thousand dollars, nor more than five thousand dollars.  For a first offense, the director may reduce the penalty for failure to register, but in no case below five hundred dollars, if the person:  Becomes registered within ten days of receiving a notice of infraction ((and the notice of infraction is for a first offense)); and registers for a department-approved contractor training class under section 2 of this act within ten days of receiving a notice of infraction, completes the class within one hundred twenty days of receiving the notice of infraction, and pays any required class fees upon class registration.

      (4) Until July 1, 2011, m onetary penalties collected under this chapter shall be deposited in the general fund.  Beginning July 1, 2011, monetary penalties and class fees collected under this chapter shall be deposited in the contractor registration account created in section 4 of this act.

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 2.  A new section is added to chapter 18.27 RCW to read as follows:

      The department will approve or conduct contractor training classes and charge a fee, payable upon class registration, that covers the costs of administering the class.  The department may adopt rules relating to the number of classes to be offered by the department, the locations of these classes, class fees, and curriculum.  In determining the locations of these classes, the department may consider offering online classes and ensure that classes are reasonably accessible in eastern and western Washington.  The department shall deposit all fees in the contractor registration account created in section 4 of this act.

Sec. 3.  RCW 18.27.070 and 1997 c 314 s 7 are each amended to read as follows:

(1) The department shall charge fees for issuance, renewal, and reinstatement of certificates of registration; and changes of name, address, or business structure.  The department shall set the fees by rule.

(2) The entire amount of the fees are to be used solely to cover the full cost of issuing certificates, filing papers and notices, and administering and enforcing this chapter.  The costs shall include reproduction, travel, per diem, and administrative and legal support costs.

(3) The department shall deposit all fees in the contractor registration account created in section 4 of this act.

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 4.  A new section is added to chapter 18.27 RCW to read as follows:

      The contractor registration account is created in the state treasury.  The department shall deposit in the account all moneys from registrations, renewals, or civil penalties assessed and collected under this chapter.  Appropriations from the account may be made only for the purposes of administration and enforcement of this chapter, including conducting contractor training classes under section 2 of this act.

Sec. 5.  RCW 60.28.040 and 2009 c 432 s 7 and 2009 c 219 s 7 are each reenacted and amended to read as follows:

      (1) Subject to subsection (5) of this section, the amount of all taxes, increases, and penalties due or to become due under Title 82 RCW, from a contractor or the contractor's successors or assignees with respect to a public improvement contract wherein the contract price is thirty-five thousand dollars or more, shall be a lien prior to all other liens upon the amount of the retained percentage withheld by the disbursing officer under such contract.

      (2) Subject to subsection (5) of this section, after payment of all taxes, increases, and penalties due or to become due under Title 82 RCW, from a contractor or the contractor's successors or assignees with respect to a public improvement contract wherein the contract price is ((twenty)) thirty-five thousand dollars or more, the amount of all other taxes, increases, and penalties under Title 82 RCW, due and owing from the contractor, shall be a lien prior to all other liens upon the amount of the retained percentage withheld by the disbursing officer under such contract.

      (3) Subject to subsection (5) of this section, after payment of all taxes, increases, and penalties due or to become due under Title 82 RCW, the amount of all taxes, increases, and penalties due or to become due under Titles 50 and 51 RCW from the contractor or the contractor's successors or assignees with respect to a public improvement contract wherein the contract price is ((twenty)) thirty-five thousand dollars or more, shall be a lien prior to all other liens upon the amount of the retained percentage withheld by the disbursing officer under such contract.

      (4) Subject to subsection (5) of this section, the amount of all other taxes, increases, and penalties due and owing from the contractor shall be a lien upon the balance of such retained percentage remaining in the possession of the disbursing officer after all other statutory lien claims have been paid.

      (5) The employees of a contractor or the contractor's successors or assignees who have not been paid the prevailing wage under such a public improvement contract shall have a first priority lien against the bond or retainage prior to all other liens.

Sec. 6.  RCW 18.27.020 and 2007 c 436 s 2 are each amended to read as follows:

      (1) Every contractor shall register with the department.

      (2) It is a gross misdemeanor for any contractor to:

      (a) Advertise, offer to do work, submit a bid, or perform any work as a contractor without being registered as required by this chapter;

      (b) Advertise, offer to do work, submit a bid, or perform any work as a contractor when the contractor's registration is suspended or revoked;

      (c) Use a false or expired registration number in purchasing or offering to purchase an advertisement for which a contractor registration number is required;

      (d) Transfer a valid registration to an unregistered contractor or allow an unregistered contractor to work under a registration issued to another contractor; or

      (e) Subcontract to or use an unregistered contractor.

      (3) It is not unlawful for a registered contractor to employ an unregistered contractor who was registered at the time he or she entered into a contract with the registered contractor, unless the registered contractor or his or her representative has been notified in writing by the department of labor and industries that the contractor has become unregistered.

      (4) All gross misdemeanor actions under this chapter shall be prosecuted in the county where the infraction occurs.

      (5) A person is guilty of a separate gross misdemeanor for each day worked if, after the person receives a ((citation)) notice of infraction from the department, the person works while unregistered, or while his or her registration is suspended or revoked, or works under a registration issued to another contractor.  A person is guilty of a separate gross misdemeanor for each worksite on which he or she violates subsection (2) of this section.  Nothing in this subsection applies to a registered contractor.

      (6) A person is guilty of a class C felony if, after receiving a third or subsequent final infraction for working as a contractor while unregistered, while his or her registration is suspended or revoked, or under a registration issued to another contractor, he or she works as a contractor while unregistered, while his or her registration is suspended or revoked, or under a registration issued to another contractor.

      (7) The director by rule shall establish a two-year audit and monitoring program for a contractor not registered under this chapter who becomes registered after receiving an infraction or conviction under this chapter as an unregistered contractor.  The director shall notify the departments of revenue and employment security of the infractions or convictions and shall cooperate with these departments to determine whether any taxes or registration, license, or other fees or penalties are owed the state.

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 7.  The legislature finds that the state loses over one hundred million dollars a year in taxes due to underground economy construction activity, causing great inequity to law-abiding businesses and taxpayers.  The legislature further finds that an employer in construction is required to pay industrial insurance and unemployment taxes for a worker unless a seven-part independent contractor test is met, which test includes that the worker is free from direction and control and has his or her own books and records.  The legislature finds that some contractors avoid taxes by engaging multiple contractors to work together on the same task and treating the contractors as independent contractors rather than hiring and paying taxes on these persons as covered workers.  The legislature finds, however, that if multiple contractors are working together on the same task on a job site, the contractors must be working under direction and control such that they are not independent contractors but are, in fact, covered workers.

      The legislature finds that the seven-part test is and should continue to be applied in investigations of underground economy activity.  However, the legislature also finds that prohibiting up front certain contracting which by its nature creates a situation in which taxes due are not paid will provide clarity to contractors and provide an additional cost-effective means to reduce the underground economy.  By enacting section 8 of this act, the legislature intends to define the prohibited contracting narrowly to assure no legitimate contracting is prohibited.  The legislature further intends to exempt work on single-family residences.  The legislature intends that nothing in section 8 of this act prohibits a contractor from engaging other contractors to assist with tasks so long as those contractors are treated as covered workers.

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 8.  A new section is added to chapter 18.27 RCW to read as follows:

      (1) A contractor commits a violation under this chapter and is subject to an infraction if on a single job site, work is performed together on the same task by more than two contractors who bring no workers to that job site who are subject to the mandatory coverage of Title 51 RCW.

      (2) If contractors are working in the same trade or craft on a single job site, the contractors have the burden of proof to show that they are not working together on the same task.

      (3) The violation under subsection (1) of this section is committed by all parties to the contract.

      (4) A contractor found to have committed an infraction under this section shall be assessed a fine of not less than one thousand dollars, nor more than five thousand dollars.  For a first offense, the director may reduce the penalty to no less than five hundred dollars if the contractor registers for a department-approved training class under section 2 of this act within ten days of receiving a notice of infraction, completes the class within one hundred twenty days of receiving the notice of infraction, and pays any required class fees upon class registration.  For a second or subsequent offense under this section, the director may suspend the registration of the contractor.

      (5) For purposes of this section, a "job site" is a single physical address.

      (6) This section does not apply to work performed on a single- family residence.

Sec. 9.  2009 c 432 s 13 (uncodified) is amended to read as follows:

      The department of labor and industries, the employment security department, and the department of revenue shall coordinate and report to the appropriate committees of the legislature by December 1st of each year on the effectiveness of efforts implemented since July 1, 2008, to address the underground economy.  The agencies shall use benchmarks and measures established by the institute for public policy and other measures it determines appropriate.  The department of labor and industries must include in its report measures of the effectiveness of section 8 of this act.

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 10.  Section 9 of this act is codified as a new section in chapter 43.22 RCW.

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 11.  Sections 3 and 4 of this act take effect July 1, 2011."

HUMAN SERVICES

Sec. 201.  2009 c 564 s 201 (uncodified) is amended to read as follows:

FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL AND HEALTH SERVICES.  (1) 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) 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.

      (4) The department is 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 Washington medicaid integration partnership (WMIP), the department may combine and transfer such medicaid funds appropriated under sections 204, 206, 208, and 209 of this act as may be necessary to finance a unified health care plan for the WMIP program enrollment.  The WMIP pilot projects shall not exceed a daily enrollment of 6,000 persons, nor expand beyond one county, during the 2009-2011 biennium.  The amount of funding assigned to the pilot projects 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 in the pilot project, times the number of clients enrolled in the pilot project.  In implementing the WMIP pilot projects, the department may:  (a) Withhold from calculations of "available resources" as set forth in RCW 71.24.025 a sum equal to the capitated rate for individuals enrolled in the pilots; and (b) 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 department shall conduct an evaluation of the WMIP, measuring changes in participant health outcomes, changes in patterns of service utilization, participant satisfaction, participant access to services, and the state fiscal impact.

      (5) 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, 2010, unless specifically prohibited by this act, the department may transfer general fund--state appropriations for fiscal year 2010 among programs after approval by the director of financial management.  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.

      (6) 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.

      (b) $16,900,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2010 and $16,900,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2011 are provided solely for the department and regional support networks to contract for implementation of high-intensity program for active community treatment (PACT) teams, and other proven program approaches that the department concurs will enable the regional support network to achieve significant reductions in the number of beds the regional support network would otherwise need to use at the state hospitals.

      (c) 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 617 per day during the first quarter of fiscal year 2010, and 587 per day thereafter.  Beds in the program for adaptive living skills (PALS) are not included in the preceding bed allocations.  The department shall separately charge regional support networks for persons served in the PALS program.

      (d) 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.

      (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.

      (i))) The department shall return to the Spokane regional support network fifty percent of the amounts assessed against the network during the last six months of calendar year 2009 for state hospital utilization in excess of its contractual limit.  The regional support network shall use these funds for operation during its initial months of a new sixteen-bed evaluation and treatment facility that will enable the network to reduce its use of the state hospital, and for diversion and community support services for persons with dementia who would likely otherwise require care at the state hospital.

      (((j))) (i) The department is directed to identify and implement program efficiencies and benefit changes in its delivery of medicaid managed-care services that are sufficient to operate within the state and federal appropriations in this section.  Such actions may include but are not limited to methods such as adjusting the care access standards; improved utilization management of ongoing, recurring, and high-intensity services; and increased uniformity in provider payment rates.  The department shall ensure that the capitation rate adjustments necessary to accomplish these efficiencies and changes are distributed uniformly and equitably across all regional support networks statewide.  The department is directed to report to the relevant legislative fiscal and policy committees at least thirty days prior to implementing rate adjustments reflecting these changes.

      (((k))) (j) In developing the new medicaid managed care rates under which the public mental health managed care system will operate during the five years beginning in fiscal year 2011, the department should seek to estimate the reasonable and necessary cost of efficiently and effectively providing a comparable set of medically necessary mental health benefits to persons of different acuity levels regardless of where in the state they live.   Actual prior period spending in a regional administrative area shall not be a key determinant of future payment rates.  The department shall report to the office of financial management and to the relevant fiscal and policy committees of the legislature on its proposed new waiver and mental health managed care rate-setting approach by October 1, 2009, and again at least sixty days prior to implementation of new capitation rates.

      (((l))) (k) $1,529,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2010 and $1,529,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2011 are provided solely to reimburse Pierce and Spokane counties for the cost of conducting 180-day commitment hearings at the state psychiatric hospitals.

      (((m))) (l) The legislature intends and expects that regional support networks and contracted community mental health agencies shall make all possible efforts to, at a minimum, maintain current compensation levels of direct care staff.  Such efforts shall include, but not be limited to, identifying local funding that can preserve client services and staff compensation, achieving administrative reductions at the regional support network level, and engaging stakeholders on cost-savings ideas that maintain client services and staff compensation.  For purposes of this section, "direct care staff" means persons employed by community mental health agencies whose primary responsibility is providing direct treatment and support to people with mental illness, or whose primary responsibility is providing direct support to such staff in areas such as client scheduling, client intake, client reception, client records-keeping, and facilities maintenance.

(m) $952,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2011 is provided solely for the north central regional support network (NCRSN) to improve the utilization of medicaid services in that region.  During the actuarial rate rebase, the actuaries determined that north central's productivity was too low for funding to be certified at the fiscal year 2010 rate ranges.  The department shall enter into a performance-based contract with NCRSN and shall contract with an expert in the delivery of mental health services in a frontier setting to provide technical assistance to NCRSN.  Improvements in utilization and cost effectiveness must be demonstrated by NCRSN on or before June 30, 2011, or contracts for state medicaid and nonmedicaid services may be subject to termination.  The department shall submit the following reports to the legislature:

      (i) On or before June 30, 2010, a written plan of improvement for NCRSN shall be submitted to the legislature.  The plan must be collaboratively developed by the department and NCRSN and must be acknowledged by signatures from NCRSN, the providers in the network, and the secretary of the department of social and health services.  In the plan, the department shall identify the contracting source for technical assistance and shall include the implementation strategy and schedule for providing technical assistance to the RSN.  The plan must also include a strategy for restructuring services, a process for improving community outreach, and an outline on the methods for collecting data and monitoring outcomes.

      (ii) On or before August 15, 2010, the department shall submit to the legislature a progress report.  The report shall identify best practices and areas of recommended changes to service delivery with a detailed strategy for implementation.  A timeline shall be included.  The report shall provide a progress update on tracking and monitoring outcomes.

      (iii) On or before January 10, 2011, the department shall provide a progress report to include outcomes from July 1, 2010, through November 30, 2010.

      (n) $179,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2011 is provided solely for the Chelan Douglas regional support network to improve the utilization of medicaid services in that region.  During the actuarial rate rebase, the actuaries determined that the Chelan Douglas regional support network's productivity was too low for funding to be certified at the fiscal year 2010 rate ranges.  Funding provided in this subsection is sufficient to hold the RSN at the fiscal year 2010 rate.

      (o) $5,223,000 of the general fund--private/local appropriation and $8,870,000 of the general fund--federal appropriation are provided solely for services to medicaid eligible clients.  County legislative authorities may authorize a one-tenth of one percent sales tax and may choose to use this funding for the delivery of either medicaid or nonmedicaid chemical dependency or mental health treatment programs as specified in RCW 82.14.460.  Local funding that is authorized to serve medicaid clients is matched with federal funding and becomes part of the overall medicaid expenditures.  When medicaid rates are rebased, the increased level of medicaid expenditures due to local match becomes the state's responsibility.  An individual regional support network will be allowed to leverage local funding into the medicaid rates on a one-time basis only.

      (p) $1,287,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2011 is provided solely for either Second Substitute House Bill No. 3076 (involuntary treatment act evaluations), or Second Substitute House Bill No. 2882 (detaining persons with mental illness), or both.  Funding provided in this subsection shall be used for increases in 72- hour detainments for persons with mental disorders and 14-day involuntary commitments that result from modifications to the involuntary treatment act, chapter 71.05 RCW.  If neither bill is enacted by June 30, 2010, the amounts provided in this subsection shall lapse.

      The appropriations in this section are subject to the following conditions and limitations:

      (1) Funding for special education programs is provided on an excess cost basis, pursuant to RCW 28A.150.390.  School districts shall ensure that special education students as a class receive their full share of the general apportionment allocation accruing through sections 502 and 504 of this act.  To the extent a school district cannot provide an appropriate education for special education students under chapter 28A.155 RCW through the general apportionment allocation, it shall provide services through the special education excess cost allocation funded in this section.

      (2)(a) The superintendent of public instruction shall ensure that:

      (i) Special education students are basic education students first;

      (ii) As a class, special education students are entitled to the full basic education allocation; and

      (iii) Special education students are basic education students for the entire school day.

      (b) The superintendent of public instruction shall continue to implement the full cost method of excess cost accounting, as designed by the committee and recommended by the superintendent, pursuant to section 501(1)(k), chapter 372, Laws of 2006.

      (5)(a) For the 2009-10 and 2010-11 school years, the superintendent shall make allocations to each district based on the sum of:

      (i) A district's annual average headcount enrollment of students ages birth through four and those five year olds not yet enrolled in kindergarten, as defined in subsection (4) of this section, multiplied by the district's average basic education allocation per full-time equivalent student, multiplied by 1.15; and

      (ii) A district's annual average full-time equivalent basic education enrollment multiplied by the funded enrollment percent determined pursuant to subsection (6)(b) of this section, multiplied by the district's average basic education allocation per full-time equivalent student multiplied by 0.9309.

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

      (6) The definitions in this subsection apply throughout this section.

      (a) "Annual average full-time equivalent basic education enrollment" means the resident enrollment including students enrolled through choice (RCW 28A.225.225) and students from nonhigh districts (RCW 28A.225.210) and excluding students residing in another district enrolled as part of an interdistrict cooperative program (RCW 28A.225.250).

      (b) "Enrollment percent" means the district's resident special education annual average enrollment, excluding the birth through age four enrollment and those five year olds not yet enrolled in kindergarten, as a percent of the district's annual average full-time equivalent basic education enrollment.

"Sec. 715.  2009 c 564 s 915 (uncodified) is amended to read as follows:

General Fund--State Appropriation (FY 2011) $22,340,000

Special Account Salary/Insurance Increase Account--State Revolving Account Appropriation $111,554,000

TOTAL APPROPRIATION $133,894,000

Appropriations for state agencies in this act, and as appropriated above, are sufficient for nonrepresented and represented state employee health benefits for state agencies, including institutions of higher education.  The office of financial management shall update agency appropriations schedules to reflect the changes to funding levels in this section by agency and fund.  To facilitate the transfer of moneys from dedicated funds and accounts, the state treasurer is directed to transfer sufficient moneys, in an amount not to exceed $68,554,000 from each dedicated fund or account to the special salary/insurance increase account in accordance with schedules provided by the office of financial management. ((and))The appropriations for health insurance funding rates in state agency appropriations, and those in this section are subject to the following conditions and limitations:

      (1) The legislature finds that the monthly employer funding rates in the 2009-2011 operating budget, in combination with the level of state employee premium share collectively bargained following the conclusion of the 2009 legislative session, have produced an inadequate stream of revenue to maintain the state employee health benefits system in a sustainable and stable financial position.  The increase to the monthly employer funding rate made in this section is made with the intent that the governor immediately request that the coalition of all the exclusive bargaining representatives with which health care benefit funding is bargained commence bargaining over a corresponding increase in the employee share of health premiums.      

      (2)(a) The monthly employer funding rate for insurance benefit premiums, public employees' benefits board administration, and the uniform medical plan, shall not exceed $745 per eligible employee for fiscal year 2010.  For fiscal year 2011 the monthly employer funding rate shall not exceed (($768))$863 per eligible employee, nor shall a plan for expenditures on benefits and administration by the public employees' benefits board be adopted that results in projected total reserve funds being less than $90,000,000 by June 30, 2011.

      (b) In order to achieve the level of funding provided for health benefits, the public employees' benefits board shall require any or all of the following:  Employee premium copayments, increases in point-of-service cost sharing, the implementation of managed competition, or make other changes to benefits consistent with RCW 41.05.065.  During the 2009-11 fiscal biennium, the board may only authorize benefit plans and premium contributions for an employee and the employee's dependents that are the same, regardless of an employee's status as represented or nonrepresented under the personnel system reform act of 2002.

      (c) The health care authority shall deposit any moneys received on behalf of the uniform medical plan as a result of rebates on prescription drugs, audits of hospitals, subrogation payments, or any other moneys recovered as a result of prior uniform medical plan claims payments, into the public employees' and retirees' insurance account to be used for insurance benefits.  Such receipts shall not be used for administrative expenditures.

      (d) The conditions in this section apply to benefits for nonrepresented employees, employees represented by the super coalition, and represented employees outside of the super coalition, including employees represented under chapter 47.64 RCW.

      (((2)))(3) The health care authority, subject to the approval of the public employees' benefits board, shall provide subsidies for health benefit premiums to eligible retired or disabled public employees and school district employees who are eligible for medicare, pursuant to RCW 41.05.085.  From January 1, 2010, through the remainder of the 2009-11 fiscal biennium, the subsidy shall be $182.89.

      (((3)))(4) Technical colleges, school districts, and educational service districts shall remit to the health care authority for deposit into the public employees' and retirees' insurance account established in RCW 41.05.120 the following amounts:

      (a) For each full-time employee, $59.59 per month beginning September 1, 2009, and $64.90 beginning September 1, 2010;

      (b) For each part-time employee, who at the time of the remittance is employed in an eligible position as defined in RCW 41.32.010 or 41.40.010 and is eligible for employer fringe benefit contributions for basic benefits, $59.59 each month beginning September 1, 2009, and $64.90 beginning September 1, 2010, prorated by the proportion of employer fringe benefit contributions for a full-time employee that the part-time employee receives.  The remittance requirements specified in this subsection shall not apply to employees of a technical college, school district, or educational service district who purchase insurance benefits through contracts with the health care authority."

      As used in this section, the word "supplies" shall not be interpreted to delegate or abrogate the division of purchasing's responsibilities and authority to purchase supplies as described in RCW 43.19.190 and 43.19.200.

Sec. 919.  RCW 43.155.050 and 2009 c 564 s 940 are each amended to read as follows:

      (1) The public works assistance account is hereby established in the state treasury.  Money may be placed in the public works assistance account from the proceeds of bonds when authorized by the legislature or from any other lawful source.  Money in the public works assistance account shall be used to make loans and to give financial guarantees to local governments for public works projects.  Moneys in the account may also be appropriated to provide for state match requirements under federal law for projects and activities conducted and financed by the board under the drinking water assistance account.  Not more than fifteen percent of the biennial capital budget appropriation to the public works board from this account may be expended or obligated for preconstruction loans, emergency loans, or loans for capital facility planning under this chapter; of this amount, not more than ten percent of the biennial capital budget appropriation may be expended for emergency loans and not more than one percent of the biennial capital budget appropriation may be expended for capital facility planning loans.  During the 2009-2011 fiscal biennium, the legislature may transfer from the public works assistance account to the general fund, ((and)) the city-county assistance account, and the salary/insurance increase revolving fund such amounts as reflect the excess fund balance of the account.

      (2) The job development fund is hereby established in the state treasury.  Moneys in the job development fund may be spent only after appropriation."
