the institute.
(6) $1,287,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2010 and $1,287,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2011 are provided solely for expansion of the following treatments and therapies in juvenile rehabilitation administration programs identified by the Washington state institute for public policy in its October 2006 report: "Evidence-Based Public Policy Options to Reduce Future Prison Construction, Criminal Justice Costs and Crime Rates": Multidimensional treatment foster care, family integrated transitions, and aggression replacement training. The administration may concentrate delivery of these treatments and therapies at a limited number of programs to deliver the treatments in a cost-effective manner.
(7)(a) For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2011, the juvenile rehabilitation administration shall administer a block grant, rather than categorical funding, of consolidated juvenile service funds, community juvenile accountability act grants, the chemical dependency disposition alternative funds, the mental health disposition alternative, and the sentencing disposition alternative for the purpose of serving youth adjudicated in the juvenile justice system. In making the block grant, the juvenile rehabilitation administration shall follow the following formula and will prioritize evidence-based programs and disposition alternatives and take into account juvenile courts program-eligible youth in conjunction with the number of youth served in each approved evidence-based program or disposition alternative: (i) Thirty-seven and one-half percent for the at-risk population of youth ten to seventeen years old; (ii) fifteen percent for moderate and high-risk youth; (iii) twenty-five percent for evidence-based program participation; (iv) seventeen and one-half percent for minority populations; (v) three percent for the chemical dependency disposition alternative; and (vi) two percent for the mental health and sentencing dispositional alternatives. Funding for the special sex offender disposition alternative (SSODA) shall not be included in the block grant, but allocated on the average daily population in juvenile courts. Funding for the evidence-based expansion grants shall be excluded from the block grant formula. Funds may be used for promising practices when approved by the juvenile rehabilitation administration and juvenile courts, through the community juvenile accountability act committee, based on the criteria established in consultation with Washington state institute for public policy and the juvenile courts.
(b) It is the intent of the legislature that the juvenile rehabilitation administration phase the implementation of the formula provided in subsection (1) of this section by including a stop-loss formula of three percent in fiscal year 2011, five percent in fiscal year 2012, and five percent in fiscal year 2013. It is further the intent of the legislature that the evidence-based expansion grants be incorporated into the block grant formula by fiscal year 2013 and SSODA remain separate unless changes would result in increasing the cost benefit savings to the state as identified in (c) of this subsection.
(c) The juvenile rehabilitation administration and the juvenile courts shall establish a block grant funding formula oversight committee with equal representation from the juvenile rehabilitation administration and the juvenile courts. The purpose of this committee is to assess the ongoing implementation of the block grant funding formula, utilizing data-driven decision making and the most current available information.

The committee may make changes to the formula categories other than the evidence-based program and disposition alternative categories if it is determined the changes will increase statewide service delivery or effectiveness of evidence-based program or disposition alternative resulting in increased cost benefit savings to the state. Long-term cost benefit must be considered. Percentage changes may occur in the evidence-based program or disposition alternative categories of the formula should it be determined the changes will increase evidence-based program or disposition alternative delivery and increase the cost benefit to the state. These outcomes will also be considered in determining when evidence-based expansion or special sex offender disposition alternative funds should be included in the block grant or left separate.
(d) The juvenile courts and administrative office of the courts shall be responsible for collecting and distributing information and providing access to the data systems to the juvenile rehabilitation administration and the Washington state institute for public policy related to program and outcome data. The juvenile rehabilitation administration and the juvenile courts will work collaboratively to develop program outcomes that reinforce the greatest cost benefit to the state in the implementation of evidence-based practices and disposition alternatives.
(e) By December 1, 2010, the Washington state institute for public policy shall report to the office of financial management and appropriate committees of the legislature on the administration of the block grant authorized in this subsection. The report shall include the criteria used for allocating the funding as a block grant and the participation targets and actual participation in the programs subject to the block grant.
(8) $3,700,000 of the Washington auto theft prevention authority account--state appropriation is provided solely for competitive grants to community-based organizations to provide at-risk youth intervention services, including but not limited to, case management, employment services, educational services, and street outreach intervention programs. Projects funded should focus on preventing, intervening, and suppressing behavioral problems and violence while linking at-risk youth to pro-social activities. The department may not expend more than $1,850,000 per fiscal year. The costs of administration must not exceed four percent of appropriated funding for each grant recipient. Each entity receiving funds must report to the juvenile rehabilitation administration on the number and types of youth served, the services provided, and the impact of those services upon the youth and the community.
(9) The appropriations in this section assume savings associated with the transfer of youthful offenders age eighteen or older whose sentences extend beyond age twenty-one to the department of corrections to complete their sentences. Prior to transferring an offender to the department of corrections, the juvenile rehabilitation administration shall evaluate the offender to determine the offender's physical and emotional suitability for transfer.

The appropriations in this subsection are subject to the following conditions and limitations:
(a) $113,689,000 of the
general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2010 and (($113,689,000))
$101,089,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year
2011 are provided solely for persons and services not covered by the medicaid
program. This is a reduction of $11,606,000 each fiscal year from the
nonmedicaid funding that was allocated for expenditure by regional support
networks during fiscal year 2009 prior to supplemental budget reductions. This
$11,606,000 reduction shall be distributed among regional support networks
proportional to each network's share of the total state population. To the
extent possible, levels of regional support network spending shall be
maintained in the following priority order: (i) Crisis and commitment
services; (ii) community inpatient services; and (iii) residential care
services, including personal care and emergency housing assistance.
(b) $10,400,000 of the
general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2010, (($9,100,000)) $8,814,000
of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2011, and $1,300,000

service delivery model into medicaid capitation rates no later than January
2011, while maintaining consistency with all essential elements of the PACT
evidence-based practice model.
(c) $6,500,000 of the
general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2010 and (($6,500,000))
$6,091,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2011
are provided solely for the western Washington regional support networks to
provide either community- or hospital campus-based services for persons who
require the level of care provided by the program for adaptive living skills
(PALS) at western state hospital.
(d) The number of
nonforensic beds allocated for use by regional support networks at eastern
state hospital shall be 192 per day. The number of nonforensic beds allocated
for use by regional support networks at western state hospital shall be 617 per
day during the first quarter of fiscal year 2010, ((and)) 587 per day through
the second quarter of fiscal year 2011, and 557 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.
(e) From the general fund--state appropriations in this subsection, the secretary of social and health services shall assure that regional support networks reimburse the aging and disability services administration for the general fund--state cost of medicaid personal care services that enrolled regional support network consumers use because of their psychiatric disability.
(f) $4,582,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2010 and $4,582,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2011 are provided solely for mental health services for mentally ill offenders while confined in a county or city jail and for facilitating access to programs that offer mental health services upon release from confinement.
(g) The department is authorized to continue to contract directly, rather than through contracts with regional support networks, for children's long-term inpatient facility services.
(h) $750,000 of the
general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2010 and (($750,000)) $703,000
of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2011 are provided solely
to continue performance-based incentive contracts to provide appropriate
community support services for individuals with severe mental illness who were
discharged from the state hospitals as part of the expanding community services
initiative. These funds will be used to enhance community residential and
support services provided by regional support networks through other state and
federal funding.
(i) $1,500,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2010 and $1,500,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2011 are provided solely for the Spokane regional support network to implement services to reduce utilization and the census at eastern state hospital. Such services shall include:
(i) High intensity treatment team for persons who are high utilizers of psychiatric inpatient services, including those with co- occurring disorders and other special needs;
(ii) Crisis outreach and diversion services to stabilize in the community individuals in crisis who are at risk of requiring inpatient care or jail services;
(iii) Mental health services provided in nursing facilities to individuals with dementia, and consultation to facility staff treating those individuals; and
(iv) Services at the sixteen-bed evaluation and treatment facility.
At least annually, the Spokane regional support network shall assess the effectiveness of these services in reducing utilization at eastern state hospital, identify services that are not optimally effective, and modify those services to improve their effectiveness.
(j) 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.
(k) 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.
(l) 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.
(m) In implementing the new public mental health managed care payment rates for fiscal year 2011, the department shall to the maximum extent possible within each regional support network's allowable rate range establish rates so that there is no increase or decrease in the total state and federal funding that the regional support network would receive if it were to continue to be paid at its October 2009 through June 2010 rates. The department shall additionally revise the draft rates issued January 28, 2010, to more accurately reflect the lower practitioner productivity inherent in the delivery of services in extremely rural regions in which a majority of the population reside in frontier counties, as defined and designated by the national center for frontier communities.
(n) $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.
(o) 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.
(p) Regional support networks may use local funds to earn additional federal medicaid match, provided the locally matched rate does not exceed the upper-bound of their federally allowable rate range, and provided that the enhanced funding is used only to provide medicaid state plan or waiver services to medicaid clients. Additionally, regional support networks may use a portion of the state funds allocated in accordance with (a) of this subsection to earn additional medicaid match, but only to the extent that the application of such funds to medicaid services does not diminish the level of crisis and commitment, community inpatient, residential care, and outpatient services presently available to persons not eligible for medicaid.

through June 2013, would be denied lifeline benefits if the regulations were
adopted, expressed as a number, as a percentage of total applicants, and as a
percentage of the number of persons granted lifeline benefits in each month;
(iv) An estimate of the number of persons who, on a monthly basis through
June 2013, would have their lifeline benefits terminated following an eligibility
review if the regulations were adopted, expressed as a number, as a percentage

lifeline-unemployable benefits in each month; and
(v) Intended improvements in employment or treatment outcomes among
persons receiving lifeline benefits that could be attributable to the changes
in the regulations.

eliminate or minimize barriers to employment, including mental health
treatment, substance abuse treatment and vocational rehabilitation services.

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.

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 based on the reimbursement rates developed, implemented, and consistent with policies approved in the 2009-11 biennial operating appropriations act (chapter 564, Laws of 2009) and in effect on July 1, 2009, (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. $20,403,000 of the general fund-- state appropriation for fiscal year 2010, of which $6,570,000 is appropriated in section 204(1) of this act, and $29,480,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2011, of which $6,570,000 is appropriated in section 204(1) of this act, are provided solely for state grants for the participating hospitals.

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.
(3) Each fiscal year appropriation includes such funds as are necessary to complete the school year ending in the fiscal year and for prior fiscal year adjustments.
(4) The superintendent of public instruction shall distribute state funds to school districts based on two categories: (a) The first category includes (i) children birth through age two who are eligible for the optional program for special education eligible developmentally delayed infants and toddlers, and (ii) students eligible for the mandatory special education program and who are age three or four, or five and not yet enrolled in kindergarten; and (b) the second category includes students who are eligible for the mandatory special education program and who are age five and enrolled in kindergarten and students age six through 21.
(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 in the 2009-10 school year. In the 2010-11 school year, the per student allocation under this subsection (5)(b) shall include the same factors as in the 2009-10 school year, but shall also include the classified staff enhancements included in section 502(3)(b).
(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.
Each district's general fund‑-state funded special education enrollment shall be the lesser of the district's actual enrollment percent or 12.7 percent.
(7) At the request of any interdistrict cooperative of at least 15 districts in which all excess cost services for special education students of the districts are provided by the cooperative, the maximum enrollment percent shall be calculated in accordance with subsection (6)(b) of this section, and shall be calculated in the aggregate rather than individual district units. For purposes of this subsection, the average basic education allocation per full-time equivalent student shall be calculated in the aggregate rather than individual district units.
(8) To the extent
necessary, (($44,269,000)) $19,512,000 of the general fund‑-state
appropriation and $29,574,000 of the general fund‑- federal appropriation
are provided for safety net awards for districts with demonstrated needs for
special education funding beyond the amounts provided in subsection (5) of this
section. If the federal safety net awards based on the federal eligibility
threshold exceed the federal appropriation in this subsection (8) in any fiscal
year, the superintendent shall expend all available federal discretionary funds
necessary to meet this need. Safety net funds shall be awarded by the state
safety net oversight committee subject to the following conditions and
limitations:
(a) The committee shall consider unmet needs for districts that can convincingly demonstrate that all legitimate expenditures for special education exceed all available revenues from state funding formulas. In the determination of need, the committee shall also consider additional available revenues from federal sources. Differences in program costs attributable to district philosophy, service delivery choice, or accounting practices are not a legitimate basis for safety net awards. In the determination of need, the committee shall require that districts demonstrate that they are maximizing their eligibility for all state and federal revenues related to services for special education-eligible students. Awards associated with (b) and (c) of this subsection shall not exceed the total of a district's specific determination of need.
(b) The committee shall then consider the extraordinary high cost needs of one or more individual special education students. Differences in costs attributable to district philosophy, service delivery choice, or accounting practices are not a legitimate basis for safety net awards.
(c) Using criteria developed by the committee, the committee shall then consider extraordinary costs associated with communities that draw a larger number of families with children in need of special education services. The safety net awards to school districts shall be adjusted to reflect amounts awarded under (b) of this subsection.
(d) The maximum allowable indirect cost for calculating safety net eligibility may not exceed the federal restricted indirect cost rate for the district plus one percent.
(e) Safety net awards must be adjusted for any audit findings or exceptions related to special education funding.
