Sec. 201. 2011 2nd sp.s. c 9 s 201 (uncodified) is amended to read as follows:
FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL AND HEALTH SERVICES
(1) The appropriations to the department of social and health services in this act shall be expended for the programs and in the amounts specified in this act. Appropriations made in this act to the department of social and health services shall initially be allotted as required by this act. Subsequent allotment modifications shall not include transfers of moneys between sections of this act except as expressly provided in this act, nor shall allotment modifications permit moneys that are provided solely for a specified purpose to be used for other than that purpose.
(2) The department of social and health services shall not initiate any services that require expenditure of state general fund moneys unless expressly authorized in this act or other law. The department may seek, receive, and spend, under RCW 43.79.260 through 43.79.282, federal moneys not anticipated in this act as long as the federal funding does not require expenditure of state moneys for the program in excess of amounts anticipated in this act. If the department receives unanticipated unrestricted federal moneys, those moneys shall be spent for services authorized in this act or in any other legislation providing appropriation authority, and an equal amount of appropriated state general fund moneys shall lapse. Upon the lapsing of any moneys under this subsection, the office of financial management shall notify the legislative fiscal committees. As used in this subsection, "unrestricted federal moneys" includes block grants and other funds that federal law does not require to be spent on specifically defined projects or matched on a formula basis by state funds.
(3)(a) The health
care authority and the department are authorized to develop an integrated
health care program designed to slow the progression of illness and disability
and better manage medicaid expenditures for the aged and disabled population.
Under ((this)) the Washington medicaid integration partnership
(WMIP) and the medicare integrated care project (MICP), the health care
authority and the department may combine and transfer such medicaid funds
appropriated under sections 204, 206, 208, and 213 of this act as may be
necessary to finance a unified health care plan for the WMIP and the MICP
program enrollment. The WMIP pilot projects shall not exceed a daily
enrollment of 6,000 persons, nor expand beyond one county during the 2011-2013
fiscal biennium. The amount of funding assigned from each program may not
exceed the average per capita cost assumed in this act for individuals covered
by that program, actuarially adjusted for the health condition of persons
enrolled, times the number of clients enrolled. In implementing the WMIP and
the MICP, the health care authority and the department may: (((a)))
(i) Withhold from calculations of "available resources" as set
forth in RCW 71.24.025 a sum equal to the capitated rate for enrolled
individuals; and (((b))) (ii) employ capitation financing and
risk-sharing arrangements in collaboration with health care service contractors
licensed by the office of the insurance commissioner and qualified to
participate in both the medicaid and medicare programs. The health care
authority and the department shall conduct an evaluation of the WMIP((,))
by October 15, 2012, and of the MICP measuring changes in participant
health outcomes, changes in patterns of service utilization, participant
satisfaction, participant access to services, and the state fiscal impact.
(b) Effective January 1, 2013, if Washington has been selected to participate in phase two of the federal demonstration project for persons dually-eligible for both medicare and medicaid, the department and the authority may initiate the MICP. Participation in the project shall be limited to persons who are eligible for both medicare and medicaid and to counties in which the county legislative authority has agreed to the terms and conditions under which it will operate. The purpose of the project shall be to demonstrate and evaluate ways to improve care while reducing state expenditures for persons enrolled both in medicare and medicaid. To that end, prior to initiating the project, the department and the authority shall assure that state expenditures shall be no greater on either a per person or total basis than the state would otherwise incur. Individuals who are solely eligible for medicaid may also participate if their participation is agreed to by the health care authority, the department, and the county legislative authority.
(4) The legislature finds that medicaid payment rates, as calculated by the department pursuant to the appropriations in this act, bear a reasonable relationship to the costs incurred by efficiently and economically operated facilities for providing quality services and will be sufficient to enlist enough providers so that care and services are available to the extent that such care and services are available to the general population in the geographic area. The legislature finds that cost reports, payment data from the federal government, historical utilization, economic data, and clinical input constitute reliable data upon which to determine the payment rates.
(5) The department shall to the maximum extent practicable use the same system for delivery of spoken-language interpreter services for social services appointments as the one established for medical appointments in section 213 of this act. When contracting directly with an individual to deliver spoken language interpreter services, the department shall only contract with language access providers who are working at a location in the state and who are state-certified or state-authorized, except that when such a provider is not available, the department may use a language access provider who meets other certifications or standards deemed to meet state standards, including interpreters in other states.
(6)(a) The appropriations
to the department of social and health services in this act shall be expended
for the programs and in the amounts specified in this act. However, after May
1, 2012, unless specifically prohibited by this act, the department may
transfer general fund--state appropriations for fiscal year 2012 among programs
after approval by the director of financial management. However, the
department shall not transfer state moneys that are provided solely for a
specified purpose except as expressly provided in (b) of this subsection.
(b) To the extent that transfers under (a) of this subsection are
insufficient to fund actual expenditures in excess of fiscal year 2012 caseload
forecasts and utilization assumptions in the long-term care, foster care,
adoptions support, medicaid personal care, and child support programs, the
department may transfer state moneys that are provided solely for a specified
purpose. The department shall not transfer funds, and the director of
financial management shall not approve the transfer, unless the transfer is
consistent with the objective of conserving, to the maximum extent possible,
the expenditure of state funds. The director of financial management shall notify
the appropriate fiscal committees of the senate and house of representatives in
writing seven days prior to approving any allotment modifications or transfers
under this subsection. The written notification shall include a narrative
explanation and justification of the changes, along with expenditures and
allotments by budget unit and appropriation, both before and after any
allotment modifications or transfers.

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 data shall be provided in a manner that reflects the collaborative work the juvenile rehabilitation administration and juvenile courts have developed regarding program outcomes that reinforce the greatest cost benefit to the state in the implementation of evidence-based practices and disposition alternatives.
(9) The Washington association of juvenile court administrators and the juvenile rehabilitation administration, in consultation with the community juvenile accountability act advisory committee and the Washington state institute for public policy, shall analyze and review data elements available from the administrative office of the courts for possible integration into the evidence-based program quality assurance plans and processes. The administrative office of the courts, the Washington association of juvenile court administrators, and the juvenile rehabilitation administration shall provide information necessary to complete the review and analysis. The Washington association of juvenile court administrators and the juvenile rehabilitation administration shall report the findings of their review and analysis, as well as any recommendations, to the legislature by December 1, 2012.

This is a reduction of $4,348,000 each fiscal year from the nonmedicaid funding that was allocated for expenditure by regional support networks during fiscal year 2011 prior to supplemental budget reductions. This $4,348,000 reduction shall be distributed among regional support networks proportional to each network's share of the total state population. To the extent possible, levels of regional support network spending shall be maintained in the following priority order: (i) Crisis and commitment services; (ii) community inpatient services; and (iii) residential care services, including personal care and emergency housing assistance.

In determining the proportion of medicaid and nonmedicaid funding provided to regional support networks with PACT teams, the department shall consider the differences between regional support networks in the percentages of services and other costs associated with the teams that are not reimbursable under medicaid. The department may allow regional support networks which have nonmedicaid reimbursable costs that are higher than the nonmedicaid allocation they receive under this section to supplement these funds with local dollars or funds received under section 204(1)(a) of this act. The department and regional support networks shall maintain consistency with all essential elements of the PACT evidence-based practice model in programs funded under this section.

By December 1, 2012, the department shall provide a report to the relevant fiscal and policy committees of the legislature on the number of individuals referred to the program who had an evaluation for regional support network services either during incarceration or within 30 and 60 days of release from jail; and the number who were made newly eligible or reinstated to eligibility for medical assistance services either during incarceration or within 30 and 60 days of release from jail. In addition, the report shall identify how many of the individuals who were determined to be eligible for regional support network services received additional outpatient services within 30 and 60 days of release from incarceration.
(g) The department is authorized to continue to contract directly, rather than through contracts with regional support networks, for children's long-term inpatient facility services.
(h) $750,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2012 and $750,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2013 are provided solely to continue performance-based incentive contracts to provide appropriate community support services for individuals with severe mental illness who were discharged from the state hospitals as part of the expanding community services initiative. These funds will be used to enhance community residential and support services provided by regional support networks through other state and federal funding.

(k) Regional support networks may use local funds to earn additional federal medicaid match, provided the locally matched rate does not exceed the upper-bound of their federally allowable rate range, and provided that the enhanced funding is used only to provide medicaid state plan or waiver services to medicaid clients. Additionally, regional support networks may use a portion of the state funds allocated in accordance with (a) of this subsection to earn additional medicaid match, but only to the extent that the application of such funds to medicaid services does not diminish the level of crisis and commitment, community inpatient, residential care, and outpatient services presently available to persons not eligible for medicaid.
(l) Given the recent approval of federal medicaid matching funds for the disability lifeline and the alcohol and drug abuse treatment support act programs, the department shall charge regional support networks for only the state share rather than the total cost of community psychiatric hospitalization for persons enrolled in those programs.

(n) The appropriations in this section reflect efficiencies to be achieved through voluntary consolidation of regional support networks in accordance with Substitute House Bill No. 2139 (regional support networks). Voluntary consolidation of regional support networks is expected to result in administrative efficiencies and maximize dollars available for direct services to individuals with mental illnesses without corresponding increases in state appropriations.

collective bargaining agreement negotiated with the exclusive bargaining
representative of individual providers established under RCW 74.39A.270.))
Contributions are funded at $0.22 per benefit-eligible paid hour worked by

for training trust contributions for individual providers may include the
amounts provided in this subsection and the agreed upon repurposed funding.
Funding in this section for purposes other than the individual provider
collective bargaining agreement cannot be used for the purposes of this
subsection (1)(e). It is the intent of the legislature that the funding
provided in this subsection, including any repurposed funding, is sufficient to
cover the costs of individual provider training and therefore tuition or other
entrance fees are not necessary.
(f) $104,669,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2013 and $104,669,000 of the general fund--federal appropriation are provided solely for the department to provide personal care services to waiver and nonwaiver in-home clients.

The department shall inform clients and their legal representatives of all available options for employment and day services. Information provided to the client and the client's legal representative shall include the types of activities each service option provides, and the amount, scope, and duration of service for which the client would be eligible under each service option. An individual client may be authorized for only one service option, either employment services or community access services. Clients may not participate in more than one of these services at any given time.
(ii) The department shall work with counties and stakeholders to strengthen and expand the existing community access program. The program must emphasize support for the client so they are able to participate in activities that integrate them into their community and support independent living and skills.

renewal license fee for adult family homes shall be increased to $100 per bed
beginning in fiscal year 2012 and $175 per bed beginning in fiscal year 2013.

medicaid patient day of $0.22 in fiscal year 2012 and $0.43 in fiscal year
2013 ((to cover the cost of the license fee increase for publicly funded
beds)), or the amount necessary to fully fund the license fee increase
for publicly funded beds, pursuant to the most recent bed estimates maintained
by the department.
(ii) Beginning in fiscal year 2012, a processing fee of $2,750 shall be charged to each adult family home when the home is initially licensed. This fee is nonrefundable.
(j) Clients with developmental disabilities have demonstrated a need and a desire for a day services program as verified by over 900 clients currently accessing day programs through a long- term care service model. In addition, every individual, to include those with a developmental disability, should have the opportunity for meaningful employment which allows them to contribute to their communities and to become as self-sufficient as possible. Providing choice empowers recipients of publicly funded services and their families by expanding their degree of control over the services and supports they need.
The department shall work with legislators and stakeholders to develop a new approach to employment and day services. The objective of this plan is to ensure that adults with developmental disabilities have optimum choices, and that employment and day offerings are comprehensive enough to meet the needs of all clients currently served on a home and community based waiver. The proposal shall be submitted to the 2012 legislature for consideration and shall be constructed such that a client ultimately receives employment, community access, or the community day option but not more than one service at a time. The proposal shall include options for program efficiencies within the current employment and day structure and shall provide details on the plan to implement a consistent, statewide outcome-based vendor contract for employment and day services as specified in (c) of this subsection.

However, if the waiver requested from the federal centers for medicare and medicaid services in relation to the safety net assessment created by Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill No. 5581 (nursing home payments) is for any reason not approved and implemented, the weighted average nursing facility payment rate shall not exceed $159.87 for fiscal year 2012 and shall not exceed $160.93 for fiscal year 2013. There will be no adjustments for economic trends and conditions in fiscal years 2012 and 2013. The economic trends and conditions factor or factors defined in the biennial appropriations act shall not be compounded with the economic trends and conditions factor or factors defined in any other biennial appropriations acts before applying it to the component rate allocations established in accordance with chapter 74.46 RCW. When no economic trends and conditions factor for either fiscal year is defined in a biennial appropriations act, no economic trends and conditions factor or factors defined in any earlier biennial appropriations act shall be applied solely or compounded to the component rate allocations established in accordance with chapter 74.46 RCW.
(a) Within the funds provided, the department shall continue to provide an add-on per medicaid resident day per facility not to exceed $1.57.

comparative add-on, acuity add-on, and safety net reimbursement, to the
facility-based payment rates in effect June 30, 2010. If the facility-based
payment rate calculated on July 1, ((2011)) 2012, is smaller
than the facility- based payment rate on June 30, 2010, then the difference
shall be provided to the individual nursing facilities as an add-on payment per
medicaid resident day.

comparative analysis performed in subsection (b) of this section, if it is
found that the direct care rate for any facility calculated using the payment
methodology defined in ((Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill No. 5581 (nursing

requested from the federal centers for medicare and medicaid services in
relation to the safety net assessment created by Engrossed Substitute Senate
Bill No. 5581 (nursing home payments) is for any reason not approved and
implemented, ((subsections)) (b), (c), and (d) of this subsection do not
apply.
(2) After examining actual nursing facility cost information, the legislature finds that the medicaid nursing facility rates calculated pursuant to Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill No. 5581 (nursing home payments) provide sufficient reimbursement to efficiently and economically operating nursing facilities and bear a reasonable relationship to costs.
(3) In accordance with chapter 74.46 RCW, the department shall issue no additional certificates of capital authorization for fiscal year 2012 and no new certificates of capital authorization for fiscal year 2013 and shall grant no rate add-ons to payment rates for capital improvements not requiring a certificate of need and a certificate of capital authorization for fiscal years 2012 and 2013.

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

emergency room departments on a regional or statewide basis;
(b) Active dissemination of patient educational materials produced by
the Washington state hospital association, Washington state medical
association, and the Washington chapter of the American college of emergency
physicians that instruct patients on appropriate facilities for nonemergent
health care needs;
(c) Designation of hospital personnel and emergency room physician
personnel to receive and appropriately disseminate information on clients
participating in the medicaid patient review and coordination program and to
review monthly utilization reports on those clients provided by the authority;
(d) A process to assist the authority's patient review and
coordination program clients with their care plans. The process must include
substantial efforts by hospitals to schedule an appointment with the client's
assigned primary care provider within seventy-two hours of the client's
medically unnecessary emergency room visit when appropriate under the client's
care plan;
(e) Implementation of narcotic guidelines that incorporate the
Washington chapter of the American college of emergency physician guidelines;
(f) Physician enrollment in the state's prescription monitoring
program, as long as the program is funded; and
(g) Designation of a hospital emergency department physician
responsible for reviewing the state's medicaid utilization management feedback
reports, which will include defined performance measures. The emergency
department physician and hospital will have a process to take appropriate
action in response to the information in the feedback reports if performance
measures are not met. The authority must develop feedback reports that include
timely emergency room utilization data such as visit rates, medically
unnecessary visit rates (by hospital and by client), emergency department
imaging utilization rates, and other measures as needed. The authority may
utilize the Robert Bree collaborative for assistance related to this best
practice.
The requirements for best practices for a critical access hospital
should not include adoption of a system to exchange patient information if
doing so would pose a financial burden, and should not include requirements
related to the authority's patient review and coordination program if the
volume of those patients seen at the critical access hospital are small.
Hospitals participating in this medicaid best practices program shall
submit to the authority a declaration from executive level leadership
indicating hospital adoption of and compliance with the best practices
enumerated above. In the declaration, hospitals will affirm that they have in
place written policies, procedures, or guidelines to implement these best
practices and are willing to share them upon request. The declaration must
also give consent for the authority to disclose feedback reports and
performance measures on its web site. The authority shall submit a list
of declaring hospitals to the relevant policy and fiscal committees of the
legislature by July 15, 2012.
If the authority does not receive by July 1, 2012, declarations from
hospitals representing at least seventy-five percent of emergency room visits
by medicaid clients in fiscal year 2010, the authority may implement a policy
of nonpayment of medically unnecessary emergency room visits, with appropriate
client and clinical safeguards such as exemptions and expedited prior
authorization. The authority shall by January 15, 2013, perform a preliminary
fiscal analysis of trends in implementing the best practices in this
subsection, focusing on outlier hospitals with high rates of unnecessary visits
by medicaid clients, high emergency room visit rates for patient review and
coordination clients, low rates of completion of treatment plans for patient review
and coordination clients assigned to the hospital, and high rates of prescribed
long-acting opiates. In cooperation with the leadership of the hospital,
medical, and emergency physician associations, additional efforts shall be
focused on assisting those outlier hospitals and providers to achieve more
substantial savings. The authority by January 15, 2013, will report to the
legislature about whether assumed savings based on preliminary trend and
forecasted data are on target and if additional best practices or other actions
need to be implemented.
If necessary, pursuant to RCW 34.05.350(1)(c), the authority may
employ emergency rulemaking to achieve the reductions assumed in the
appropriations under this section.
Nothing in this subsection shall in any way impact the authority's
ability to adopt and implement policies pertaining to the patient review and

may withhold allocations to school districts in subsection (2) of this section
solely for the central provision of assessments as provided in RCW 28A.180.090
(1) and (2) up to the following amounts: 2.79 percent for school year 2011-12

(5)(((a) The office
of the superintendent of public instruction shall implement)) In
preparing its 2013-15 biennial budget request, the office of the superintendent
of public instruction shall prepare for implementation of a funding model
for the transitional bilingual program, beginning in school year ((2012-13))
2013-14, that is scaled to provide more support to students requiring
most intensive intervention, (students with beginning levels of English
language proficiency) and less support to students requiring less
intervention. The funding model shall also provide up to two years of bonus
funding upon successful exit from the bilingual program to facilitate
successful transition to a standard program of education.
(((b) It is expected
that per-pupil funding for level 2 proficiency will be set at the same level as
would have been provided statewide prior to establishing differential per-pupil
amounts; level 1 will be 125 percent of level 2; level 3 through the level
prior to exit will be 75 percent of level 2; and two bonus years upon
successful demonstration of proficiency will be 100 percent of level 2. Prior
to implementing in school year 2012-13, the office of the superintendent of
public instruction shall provide to the senate and house of representatives
ways and means committees recommended rates based on the results of proficiency
test procurement, expressed as both per- pupil rates and hours of instruction
as provided in RCW 28A.150.260(10)(b).

therefore, eligibility for the transitional bilingual program each year. The bonus
payments for up to two school years following successful exit from the
transitional bilingual program shall be allocated to the exiting school

the district receiving both years' bonuses, the district shall receive the
bonus for only the length of time the student remains enrolled in the exiting
district.

model developed under this subsection and provide a report to the education and
fiscal committees of the legislature by December 1, 2011, that includes
recommendations for:
(i) Changing the prototypical school funding formula for the
transitional bilingual program to align with the revised model in an accurate
and transparent manner;
(ii) Reconciling the revised model with statutory requirements for
categorical funding of the transitional bilingual instructional program that is
restricted to students eligible for and enrolled in that program;
(iii) Clarifying the elements of the transitional bilingual
instructional program that fall under the definition of basic education and the
impact of the revised model on them; and
(iv) The extent that the disparate financial impact of the revised
model on different school districts should be addressed and options for
addressing it.
(e) The office of the superintendent of public instruction shall
report to the senate and house of representatives ways and means committees and
education committees annually by December 31st of each year, through 2018,
regarding any measurable changes in proficiency, time-in-program, and

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

NEW SECTION. Sec. 714. A new section is added to 2011 1st sp.s. c 50 (uncodified) to read as follows:
FOR THE OFFICE OF FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT--INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
From appropriations to state agencies for the 2011-2013 fiscal biennium, the office of financial management shall reduce general fund--state allotments by $5,000,000 for fiscal year 2013 to reflect savings associated with a reduction in expenditures related to information technology, pursuant to allotment schedules prepared by the office of financial management.

This section sets forth the expenditure programs and the allotment and reserve procedures to be followed by the executive branch for public funds.
(1) Allotments of an appropriation for any fiscal period shall conform to the terms, limits, or conditions of the appropriation.
(2) The director of financial management shall provide all agencies with a complete set of operating and capital instructions for preparing a statement of proposed expenditures at least thirty days before the beginning of a fiscal period. The set of instructions need not include specific appropriation amounts for the agency.
(3) Within forty-five days after the beginning of the fiscal period or within forty-five days after the governor signs the omnibus biennial appropriations act, whichever is later, all agencies shall submit to the governor a statement of proposed expenditures at such times and in such form as may be required by the governor.
(4) The office of financial management shall develop a method for monitoring capital appropriations and expenditures that will capture at least the following elements:
(a) Appropriations made for capital projects including transportation projects;
(b) Estimates of total project costs including past, current, ensuing, and future biennial costs;
(c) Comparisons of actual costs to estimated costs;
(d) Comparisons of estimated construction start and completion dates with actual dates;
(e) Documentation of fund shifts between projects.
This data may be incorporated into the existing accounting system or into a separate project management system, as deemed appropriate by the office of financial management.
(5) The office of financial management, prior to approving allotments for major capital construction projects valued over five million dollars, shall institute procedures for reviewing such projects at the predesign stage that will reduce long-term costs and increase facility efficiency. The procedures shall include, but not be limited to, the following elements:
(a) Evaluation of facility program requirements and consistency with long-range plans;
(b) Utilization of a system of cost, quality, and performance standards to compare major capital construction projects; and
(c) A requirement to incorporate value-engineering analysis and constructability review into the project schedule.
(6) No expenditure may be incurred or obligation entered into for such major capital construction projects including, without exception, land acquisition, site development, predesign, design, construction, and equipment acquisition and installation, until the allotment of the funds to be expended has been approved by the office of financial management. This limitation does not prohibit the continuation of expenditures and obligations into the succeeding biennium for projects for which allotments have been approved in the immediate prior biennium.
(7)(a) Beginning January 1, 2013, if at any time during the fiscal period the governor projects a cash deficit in a particular fund or account as defined by RCW 43.88.050, the governor shall make across- the-board reductions in allotments for that particular fund or account so as to prevent a cash deficit, unless the legislature has directed the liquidation of the cash deficit over one or more fiscal periods.
(b)(i) From the effective
date of this section until January 1, 2013, if at any time during the fiscal
period the governor projects a cash deficit in a particular fund or account as
defined by RCW 43.88.050, then as set forth in (b) of this subsection the
governor shall make across-the-board reductions in the total amount allotted to
each agency from each appropriation from that fund or account so as to prevent
a cash deficit, unless the legislature has directed the liquidation of the cash
deficit over one or more fiscal periods.
(ii) The percentage reduction applied to individual allotments of an
agency's total allotments from each appropriation from that fund or account may
vary, but each agency's total allotments from each appropriation from that fund
or account must be uniformly reduced by the percentage necessary to prevent a
cash deficit. Where a portion of an appropriation is provided solely for a
particular purpose, allotments of that portion of the appropriation may be
reduced only by the same percentage as the overall appropriation.
(iii) Allotments for the following programs may be reduced only by a
percentage equal to one-half of the percentage reduction applied to total
allotments of appropriations under (b)(ii) of this subsection:
(A) Direct custody in the department of corrections and the juvenile
rehabilitation administration; and
(B) The special commitment center of the department of social and
health services.
(iv) Basic education programs, debt service on state bonds, state
contributions to retirement systems, and programs for which a defined benefit
is specifically mandated in statute are exempt from across-the- board allotment
reductions under this subsection (7)(b) and allotments for these purposes shall
not be included when calculating the allotment reductions.
(8) Except for the legislative and judicial branches and other
agencies headed by elective officials, the governor shall review the statement
of proposed operating expenditures for reasonableness and conformance with
legislative intent. The governor may request corrections of proposed
allotments submitted by the legislative and judicial branches and agencies
headed by elective officials if those proposed allotments contain significant
technical errors.
(9) Once the governor approves the proposed allotments, further revisions may at the request of the office of financial management or upon the agency's initiative be made on a quarterly basis and must be accompanied by an explanation of the reasons for significant changes. If the governor initiates across-the-board allotment revisions under subsection (7)(b) of this section, the office of financial management shall provide notice to the appropriate legislative fiscal committees of the proposed revisions, including the explanation for the significant changes, and the revisions may not take effect until ten days after this notice is provided. However, changes in appropriation level authorized by the legislature, changes required by across-the- board reductions mandated by the governor, changes caused by executive increases to spending authority, and changes caused by executive decreases to spending authority for failure to comply with the provisions of chapter 36.70A RCW may require additional revisions. Revisions shall not be made retroactively. However, the governor may assign to a reserve status any portion of an agency appropriation withheld as part of across-the-board reductions made by the governor and any portion of an agency appropriation conditioned on a contingent event by the appropriations act. The governor may remove these amounts from reserve status if the across-the-board reductions are subsequently modified or if the contingent event occurs. The director of financial management shall enter approved statements of proposed expenditures into the state budgeting, accounting, and reporting system within forty-five days after receipt of the proposed statements from the agencies. If an agency or the director of financial management is unable to meet these requirements, the director of financial management shall provide a timely explanation in writing to the legislative fiscal committees.
(((8))) (10)
It is expressly provided that all agencies shall be required to maintain
accounting records and to report thereon in the manner prescribed in this
chapter and under the regulations issued pursuant to this chapter. Within
ninety days of the end of the fiscal year, all agencies shall submit to the
director of financial management their final adjustments to close their books
for the fiscal year. Prior to submitting fiscal data, written or oral, to
committees of the legislature, it is the responsibility of the agency
submitting the data to reconcile it with the budget and accounting data
reported by the agency to the director of financial management.
(((9))) (11)
The director of financial management may exempt certain public funds from the
allotment controls established under this chapter if it is not practical or
necessary to allot the funds. Allotment control exemptions expire at the end
of the fiscal biennium for which they are granted. The director of financial
management shall report any exemptions granted under this subsection to the
legislative fiscal committees.

Sec. 922. RCW 74.48.090 and 2011 1st sp.s. c 7 s 21 are each amended to read as follows:
(1) The department and
the department of health, in consultation with the Washington state health care
association, and aging services of Washington, shall design a system of skilled
nursing facility quality incentive payments. The design of the system shall be
submitted to the relevant policy and fiscal committees of the legislature by ((December
15, 2011)) January 1, 2013. For the 2011- 2013 fiscal biennial budget
period, the department shall not implement a system of skilled nursing facility
quality incentive payments designed pursuant to this section. The system
shall be based upon the following principles:
(a) Evidence-based treatment and processes shall be used to improve health care outcomes for skilled nursing facility residents;
(b) Effective purchasing strategies to improve the quality of health care services should involve the use of common quality improvement measures, while recognizing that some measures may not be appropriate for application to facilities with high bariatric, behaviorally challenged, or rehabilitation populations;
(c) Quality measures chosen for the system should be consistent with the standards that have been developed by national quality improvement organizations, such as the national quality forum, the federal centers for medicare and medicaid services, or the federal agency for healthcare research and quality. New reporting burdens to skilled nursing facilities should be minimized by giving priority to measures skilled nursing facilities that are currently required to report to governmental agencies, such as the nursing home compare measures collected by the federal centers for medicare and medicaid services;
(d) Benchmarks for each quality improvement measure should be set at levels that are feasible for skilled nursing facilities to achieve, yet represent real improvements in quality and performance for a majority of skilled nursing facilities in Washington state; and
(e) Skilled nursing facilities performance and incentive payments should be designed in a manner such that all facilities in Washington are able to receive the incentive payments if performance is at or above the benchmark score set in the system established under this section.
(2) Pursuant to an
appropriation by the legislature, for state fiscal year ((2013)) 2014
and each fiscal year thereafter, assessments may be increased to support an
additional one percent increase in skilled nursing facility reimbursement rates
for facilities that meet the quality incentive benchmarks established under
this section.
Sec. 923. RCW 76.04.610 and 2007 c 110 s 1 are each amended to read as follows:
(1)(a) If any owner of forest land within a forest protection zone neglects or fails to provide adequate fire protection as required by RCW 76.04.600, the department shall provide such protection and shall annually impose the following assessments on each parcel of such land: (i) A flat fee assessment of seventeen dollars and fifty cents; and (ii) twenty-seven cents on each acre exceeding fifty acres.
(b) Assessors may, at their option, collect the assessment on tax exempt lands. If the assessor elects not to collect the assessment, the department may bill the landowner directly.
(2) An owner who has paid assessments on two or more parcels, each containing fewer than fifty acres and each within the same county, may obtain the following refund:
(a) If all the parcels together contain less than fifty acres, then the refund is equal to the flat fee assessments paid, reduced by the total of (i) seventeen dollars and (ii) the total of the amounts retained by the county from such assessments under subsection (5) of this section.
(b) If all the parcels together contain fifty or more acres, then the refund is equal to the flat fee assessments paid, reduced by the total of (i) seventeen dollars, (ii) twenty-seven cents for each acre exceeding fifty acres, and (iii) the total of the amounts retained by the county from such assessments under subsection (5) of this section.
Applications for refunds shall be submitted to the department on a form prescribed by the department and in the same year in which the assessments were paid. The department may not provide refunds to applicants who do not provide verification that all assessments and property taxes on the property have been paid. Applications may be made by mail.
In addition to the procedures under this subsection, property owners with multiple parcels in a single county who qualify for a refund under this section may apply to the department on an application listing all the parcels owned in order to have the assessment computed on all parcels but billed to a single parcel. Property owners with the following number of parcels may apply to the department in the year indicated:
|
Year |
Number of Parcels |
|
2002 |
10 or more parcels |
|
2003 |
8 or more parcels |
|
2004 and thereafter |
6 or more parcels |
The department must compute the correct assessment and allocate one parcel in the county to use to collect the assessment. The county must then bill the forest fire protection assessment on that one allocated identified parcel. The landowner is responsible for notifying the department of any changes in parcel ownership.
(3) Beginning January 1, 1991, under the administration and at the discretion of the department up to two hundred thousand dollars per year of this assessment shall be used in support of those rural fire districts assisting the department in fire protection services on forest lands.
(4) For the purpose of this chapter, the department may divide the forest lands of the state, or any part thereof, into districts, for fire protection and assessment purposes, may classify lands according to the character of timber prevailing, and the fire hazard existing, and place unprotected lands under the administration of the proper district. Amounts paid or contracted to be paid by the department for protection of forest lands from funds at its disposal shall be a lien upon the property protected, unless reimbursed by the owner within ten days after October 1st of the year in which they were incurred. The department shall be prepared to make statement thereof, upon request, to a forest owner whose own protection has not been previously approved as to its adequacy, the department shall report the same to the assessor of the county in which the property is situated. The assessor shall extend the amounts upon the tax rolls covering the property, and upon authorization from the department shall levy the forest protection assessment against the amounts of unimproved land as shown in each ownership on the county assessor's records. The assessor may then segregate on the records to provide that the improved land and improvements thereon carry the millage levy designed to support the rural fire protection districts as provided for in RCW 52.16.170.
(5) The amounts assessed shall be collected at the time, in the same manner, by the same procedure, and with the same penalties attached that general state and county taxes on the same property are collected, except that errors in assessments may be corrected at any time by the department certifying them to the treasurer of the county in which the land involved is situated. Assessments shall be known and designated as assessments of the year in which the amounts became reimbursable. Upon the collection of assessments the county treasurer shall place fifty cents of the total assessments paid on a parcel for fire protection into the county current expense fund to defray the costs of listing, billing, and collecting these assessments. The treasurer shall then transmit the balance to the department. Collections shall be applied against expenses incurred in carrying out the provisions of this section, including necessary and reasonable administrative costs incurred by the department in the enforcement of these provisions. The department may also expend sums collected from owners of forest lands or received from any other source for necessary administrative costs in connection with the enforcement of RCW 76.04.660.
(6) When land against which forest protection assessments are outstanding is acquired for delinquent taxes and sold at public auction, the state shall have a prior lien on the proceeds of sale over and above the amount necessary to satisfy the county's delinquent tax judgment. The county treasurer, in case the proceeds of sale exceed the amount of the delinquent tax judgment, shall immediately remit to the department the amount of the outstanding forest protection assessments.
(7) All nonfederal public bodies owning or administering forest land included in a forest protection zone shall pay the forest protection assessments provided in this section and the special forest fire suppression account assessments under RCW 76.04.630. The forest protection assessments and special forest fire suppression account assessments shall be payable by nonfederal public bodies from available funds within thirty days following receipt of the written notice from the department which is given after October 1st of the year in which the protection was provided. Unpaid assessments are not a lien against the nonfederal publicly owned land but shall constitute a debt by the nonfederal public body to the department and are subject to interest charges at the legal rate. During the 2011-2013 fiscal biennium, the forest fire protection assessment account may be appropriated to The Evergreen State College for analysis and recommendations to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the state's mechanisms for funding fire prevention and suppression activities.
(8) A public body, having failed to previously pay the forest protection assessments required of it by this section, which fails to suppress a fire on or originating from forest lands owned or administered by it, is liable for the costs of suppression incurred by the department or its agent and is not entitled to reimbursement of costs incurred by the public body in the suppression activities.
(9) The department may adopt rules to implement this section, including, but not limited to, rules on levying and collecting forest protection assessments.

(3) This section shall not apply to lands transferred after April 23, 1990, to the department from other state agencies.
(4) The county shall distribute the amount received under this section in lieu of real property taxes to all property taxing districts except the state in appropriate tax code areas the same way it would distribute local property taxes from private property. The county shall distribute the amount received under this section for weed control to the appropriate weed district.
(5) For the 2011-2013 fiscal biennium, the director shall pay by April 30th of each year on game lands in each county, if requested by an election under RCW 77.12.201, an amount in lieu of real property taxes and shall be distributed as follows:

(4) Deductions authorized under this section for transactions pertaining to community forest trust lands must be established at a level sufficient to defray over time the management costs for activities prescribed in a parcel's management plan adopted pursuant to RCW 79.155.080, and, if deemed appropriate by the board consistent with RCW 79.155.090, to reimburse the state and any local entities' eligible financial contributions for acquisition of the parcel.
(5) In the event that the department sells logs using the contract harvesting process described in RCW 79.15.500 through 79.15.530, the moneys received subject to this section are the net proceeds from the contract harvesting sale.
(6) During the ((2009-2011))
2011-2013 fiscal biennium ((and fiscal year 2012)), the
twenty-five percent limitation on deductions set in subsection (3) of this
section may be increased up to thirty percent by the board.
Sec. 929. RCW 79.64.100 and 2003 c 334 s 219 are each amended to read as follows:
There is created a forest development account in the state treasury. The state treasurer shall keep an account of all sums deposited therein and expended or withdrawn therefrom. Any sums placed in the forest development account shall be pledged for the purpose of paying interest and principal on the bonds issued by the department under RCW 79.22.080 and 79.22.090 and the provisions of this chapter, and for the purchase of land for growing timber. Any bonds issued shall constitute a first and prior claim and lien against the account for the payment of principal and interest. No sums for the above purposes shall be withdrawn or paid out of the account except upon approval of the department.
Appropriations may be made by the legislature from the forest development account to the department for the purpose of carrying on the activities of the department on state forest lands, lands managed on a sustained yield basis as provided for in RCW 79.10.320, and for reimbursement of expenditures that have been made or may be made from the resource management cost account in the management of state forest lands. For the 2011-2013 fiscal biennium, moneys from the forest development account shall be distributed as directed in section 706 of this act to the beneficiaries of the revenues derived from state forest lands. During the 2011-2013 fiscal biennium, the legislature may appropriate moneys in the forest development account to support emergency fire suppression activities in a manner that, at a maximum, represents the proportion of land that the department manages in comparison to the total land the department conducts emergency fire suppression activities on.
Sec. 930. RCW 79.105.150 and 2011 2nd sp.s. c 9 s 911 are each amended to read as follows:
(1) After deduction for
management costs as provided in RCW 79.64.040 and payments to towns under RCW
79.115.150(2), all moneys received by the state from the sale or lease of
state-owned aquatic lands and from the sale of valuable material from
state-owned aquatic lands shall be deposited in the aquatic lands enhancement
account which is hereby created in the state treasury. After appropriation,
these funds shall be used solely for aquatic lands enhancement projects; for
the purchase, improvement, or protection of aquatic lands for public purposes;
for providing and improving access to the lands; and for volunteer cooperative
fish and game projects. During the ((2009-2011 and)) 2011-2013 fiscal
((biennia)) biennium, the aquatic lands enhancement account may
also be used for scientific research as part of the adaptive management process
and for developing a planning report for McNeil Island. During the ((2009-2011
and)) 2011-2013 fiscal ((biennia)) biennium, the legislature
may transfer from the aquatic lands enhancement account to the state general
fund such amounts as reflect excess fund balance of the account. During the
2011-2013 fiscal biennium, the aquatic lands enhancement account may be used to
support the shellfish program, the ballast water program, parks, hatcheries,
and the Puget Sound toxic sampling program at the department of fish and
wildlife, and the knotweed program at the department of agriculture. During
the 2011-2013 fiscal biennium, the legislature may transfer from the aquatic
lands enhancement account to the marine resources stewardship trust account
funds for the purposes of RCW 43.372.070.
(2) In providing grants for aquatic lands enhancement projects, the recreation and conservation funding board shall:
(a) Require grant recipients to incorporate the environmental benefits of the project into their grant applications;
(b) Utilize the statement of environmental benefits, consideration, except as provided in RCW 79.105.610, of whether the applicant is a Puget Sound partner, as defined in RCW 90.71.010, whether a project is referenced in the action agenda developed by the Puget Sound partnership under RCW 90.71.310, and except as otherwise provided in RCW 79.105.630, and effective one calendar year following the development and statewide availability of model evergreen community management plans and ordinances under RCW 35.105.050, whether the applicant is an entity that has been recognized, and what gradation of recognition was received, in the evergreen community recognition program created in RCW 35.105.030 in its prioritization and selection process; and
(c) Develop appropriate outcome-focused performance measures to be used both for management and performance assessment of the grants.
(3) To the extent possible, the department should coordinate its performance measure system with other natural resource-related agencies as defined in RCW 43.41.270.
(4) The department shall consult with affected interest groups in implementing this section.
(5) After January 1, 2010, any project designed to address the restoration of Puget Sound may be funded under this chapter only if the project is not in conflict with the action agenda developed by the Puget Sound partnership under RCW 90.71.310.
Sec. 931. RCW 79.105.240 and 2005 c 155 s 147 are each amended to read as follows:
Except as otherwise provided by this chapter, annual rent rates for the lease of state-owned aquatic lands for water-dependent uses shall be determined as follows:
(1)(a) The assessed land value, exclusive of improvements, as determined by the county assessor, of the upland tax parcel used in conjunction with the leased area or, if there are no such uplands, of the nearest upland tax parcel used for water-dependent purposes divided by the parcel area equals the upland value.
(b) The upland value times the area of leased aquatic lands times thirty percent equals the aquatic land value.
(2) As of July 1, 1989, and each July 1st thereafter, the department shall determine the real capitalization rate to be applied to water-dependent aquatic land leases commencing or being adjusted under subsection (3)(a) of this section in that fiscal year. The real capitalization rate shall be the real rate of return, except that until June 30, 1989, the real capitalization rate shall be five percent and thereafter it shall not change by more than one percentage point in any one year or be more than seven percent or less than three percent.
(3) The annual rent shall be:
(a) Determined initially, and redetermined every four years or as otherwise provided in the lease, by multiplying the aquatic land value times the real capitalization rate; and
(b) Adjusted by the inflation rate each year in which the rent is not determined under (a) of this subsection.
(4) If the upland parcel used in conjunction with the leased area is not assessed or has an assessed value inconsistent with the purposes of the lease, the nearest comparable upland parcel used for similar purposes shall be substituted and the lease payment determined in the same manner as provided in this section.
(5) For the purposes of this section, "upland tax parcel" is a tax parcel, some portion of which has upland characteristics. Filled tidelands or shorelands with upland characteristics which abut state- owned aquatic land shall be considered as uplands in determining aquatic land values.
(6) The annual rent for filled state-owned aquatic lands that have the characteristics of uplands shall be determined in accordance with RCW 79.105.270 in those cases in which the state owns the fill and has a right to charge for the fill.
(7) For all new leases for other water-dependent uses, issued after December 31, 1997, the initial annual water-dependent rent shall be determined by the methods in subsections (1) through (6) of this section.
(8) During the 2011-2013 fiscal biennium, the department may calculate annual rent for qualifying marinas as provided in section 308(12) of this act.
Sec. 932. RCW 79A.25.200 and 2007 c 241 s 53 are each amended to read as follows:
The recreation resource account is created in the state treasury. Moneys in this account are subject to legislative appropriation. The board shall administer the account in accordance with this chapter and chapter 79A.35 RCW and shall hold it separate and apart from all other money, funds, and accounts of the board. Moneys received from the marine fuel tax refund account under RCW 79A.25.070 shall be deposited into the account. Grants, gifts, or other financial assistance, proceeds received from public bodies as administrative cost contributions, and moneys made available to the state of Washington by the federal government for outdoor recreation may be deposited into the account. During the 2011-2013 fiscal biennia, the recreation resource account may be used by the department of fish and wildlife for the purposes of activities related to aquatic and marine enforcement.
Sec. 933. RCW 86.26.007 and 2011 1st sp.s. c 50 s 976 are each amended to read as follows:
The flood control
assistance account is hereby established in the state treasury. At the
beginning of the 2005-2007 fiscal biennium, the state treasurer shall transfer
three million dollars from the general fund to the flood control assistance
account. Each biennium thereafter the state treasurer shall transfer four
million dollars from the general fund to the flood control assistance account,
except that during the ((2009-2011 and)) 2011-2013 fiscal ((biennia))
biennium, the state treasurer shall transfer ((two)) one
million dollars from the general fund to the flood control assistance account.
Moneys in the flood control assistance account may be spent only after
appropriation for purposes specified under this chapter.
Sec. 934. RCW 90.48.390 and 2008 c 329 s 925 are each amended to read as follows:
The coastal protection fund is established to be used by the department as a revolving fund for carrying out the purposes of restoration of natural resources under this chapter and chapter 90.56 RCW. To this fund there shall be credited penalties, fees, damages, charges received pursuant to the provisions of this chapter and chapter 90.56 RCW, compensation for damages received under this chapter and chapter 90.56 RCW, and an amount equivalent to one cent per gallon from each marine use refund claim under RCW 82.36.330.
Moneys in the fund not needed currently to meet the obligations of the department in the exercise of its powers, duties, and functions under RCW 90.48.142, 90.48.366, 90.48.367, and 90.48.368 shall be deposited with the state treasurer to the credit of the fund. During the 2007-2009 fiscal biennium, the coastal protection fund may also be used for a standby rescue tug at Neah Bay. During the 2011-2013 fiscal biennium, the legislature may transfer from the coastal protection fund to the state general fund such amounts as reflect excess fund balance derived from penalties, forfeits, and seizures.
Sec. 935. 2010 c 23 s 205 (uncodified) is amended to read as follows:
(1) The legislature finds that this state's tax policy with respect to the taxation of transactions between affiliated entities and the income derived from such transactions (intercompany transactions) has motivated some taxpayers to engage in transactions designed solely or primarily to minimize the tax effects of intercompany transactions. The legislature further finds that some intercompany transactions result from taxpayers that are required to establish affiliated entities to comply with regulatory mandates and that transactions between such affiliates effectively increases the tax burden in this state on the affiliated group of entities.
(2) Therefore, as existing resources allow, the department of revenue is directed to conduct a review of the state's tax policy with respect to the taxation of intercompany transactions. The review must include the impacts of such transactions under the state's business and occupation tax and state and local sales and use taxes. The department may include other taxes in the review as it deems appropriate.
(3) In conducting the review, the department must examine how this state's tax policy compares to the tax policy of other states with respect to the taxation of intercompany transactions. The department's review must include an analysis of potential alternatives to the current policy of taxing intercompany transactions, including their estimated revenue impacts if practicable.
(4) In conducting this review, the department may seek input from members of the business community and others as it deems appropriate.
(5) The department must
report its findings to the fiscal committees of the house of representatives
and senate by December 1, 2010. However, if the department has not completed
its review by December 1, 2010, the department must provide the fiscal
committees of the legislature with a brief status report by December 1, 2010,
and the final report by December 1, ((2011)) 2012.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 936. A new section is added to 2011 1st sp.s. c 50 (uncodified) to read as follows:
It is the intent of the legislature that regulatory agencies receiving appropriations in this act work with the office of regulatory assistance to:
(1) Establish a small business liaison team to assist small businesses with permitting and regulatory issues.
(2) Take action to assure that additional violations or corrective actions that could have been discovered and noted in the original violation or correction notice are not subsequently added and to provide a single list of any violations discovered during the regulatory visit or inspection;
(3) Provide notice about when the business may expect the results of a technical assistance or regulatory visit;
(4) Provide information about how the business may provide anonymous feedback regarding a technical assistance or other regulatory visit; and
(5) Provide information regarding the role of the agency's small business liaison as a neutral party within the agency, as well as contact information for the liaison.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 937. A new section is added to 2011 1st sp.s. c 50 (uncodified) to read as follows:
Chapter 50, Laws of 2011 1st sp. sess. (the biennial operating budget) included funding for the pension system cost of legislation adopted during the 2011 session of the legislature. No supplemental rates are authorized for funding that legislation during the remainder of the 2011-2013 fiscal biennium. Pension contribution rates for the public employees' retirement system, the public safety employees' retirement system, the school employees' retirement systems, and the teachers' retirement system are established.
(1) For the public employees' retirement system:
(a) Beginning April 1, 2012, an employer contribution rate of 7.08 percent shall be charged;
(b) Beginning July 1, 2012, an employer contribution rate of 7.21 percent shall be charged.

(a) Beginning April 1, 2012, an employer contribution rate of 8.74 percent shall be charged;
(b) Beginning July 1, 2012, an employer contribution rate of 8.87 percent shall be charged.
(3) For the school employees' retirement system:
(a) Beginning April 1, 2012, an employer contribution rate of 7.58 percent shall be charged;
(b) Beginning September 1, 2012, an employer contribution rate of 7.59 percent shall be charged.
(4) For the teachers' retirement system:
(a) Beginning April 1, 2012, an employer contribution rate of 8.04 percent shall be charged; and
(b) Beginning September 1, 2012, an employer contribution rate of 8.05 percent shall be charged.
These rates are inclusive of a department of retirement systems expense charge of 0.16 percent. The department of retirement systems shall collect employee contributions as provided in chapter 41.45 RCW.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 938. 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.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 939. This act is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, or safety, or support of the state government and its existing public institutions, and takes effect immediately.
