INTRODUCED BY ZOOK

BY REQUEST OF THE OFFICE OF BUDGET AND PROGRAM PLANNING

A BILL FOR AN ACT ENTITLED: "AN ACT APPROPRIATING MONEY TO VARIOUS STATE AGENCIES FOR THE BIENNIUM ENDING JUNE 30, 2001; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE."

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF MONTANA:

(Refer to Introduced Bill)

Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert:

NEW SECTION. Section Short title. [This act] may be cited as "The General Appropriations Act of 1999".

NEW SECTION. Section First level expenditures. The agency and program appropriation tables in the legislative fiscal analyst narrative accompanying this bill, showing first level expenditures and funding for the 2001 biennium, are adopted as legislative intent.

NEW SECTION. Section Severability. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase of [this act] is for any reason held unconstitutional, the decision does not affect the validity of the remaining portions of [this act].

NEW SECTION. Section Appropriation control. An appropriation item designated as "Biennial" may be spent in either year of the biennium. An appropriation item designated "Restricted" may be used during the biennium only for the purpose designated by its title and as presented to the legislature. An appropriation item designated "One Time Only" or "OTO" may not be included in the present law base for the 2003 biennium. The office of budget and program planning shall establish a separate appropriation on the statewide budgeting and accounting system for any item designated as "Biennial", "Restricted", "One Time Only", or "OTO". The office of budget and program planning shall establish at least one appropriation on the statewide budgeting and accounting system for any appropriation that appears as a separate line item in [this act].

NEW SECTION. Section Program definition. As used in [this act], "program" has the same meaning as defined in 17-7-102, is consistent with the management and accountability structure established on the statewide budgeting and accounting system, and is identified as a major subdivision of an agency ordinally numbered with an arabic numeral.

NEW SECTION. Section Personal services funding -- 2003 biennium. (1) Except as provided in subsection (2), present law and new proposal funding budget requests for the 2003 biennium submitted under Title 17, chapter 7, part 1, by each executive, judicial, and legislative branch agency must include funding of first level personal services separate from funding of other expenditures. The funding of first level personal services by accounting entity or equivalent for each fiscal year must be shown at the fourth reporting level or equivalent in the budget request for the 2003 biennium submitted by October 30 to the legislative fiscal analyst by the office of budget and program planning.

(2) The provisions of subsection (1) do not apply to the Montana university system.

NEW SECTION. Section Personal services line item. Funds appropriated for personal services or indicated in legislative intent as having been appropriated for personal services may not be expended under any other category except for contract services (expenditure object 2102 or its successor), when the amount of the contract services transferred will be used to directly substitute for use of personal services. Any transfer of funds from personal services to contract services must be reported in writing to the legislative finance committee.

NEW SECTION. Section Goals, benchmarks, and objectives. Each department, the Montana university system, and, when appropriate, each division of each department shall place their respective specific and measurable goals, benchmarks, and objectives for each year of the 2001 biennium on their respective internet websites or, when appropriate, on the state's internet website. Beginning July 1, 1999, and every 6 months thereafter, each department and the Montana university system shall report progress on the appropriate website in meeting the goals, benchmarks, and objectives and what changes, if any, were made to ensure that those goals, benchmarks, and objectives are attained.

NEW SECTION. Section Unified computer budget summary. The office of budget and program planning shall provide, by agency, program, and reporting level, a summary report of all information technology-related funding requests in the 2003 biennium executive budget submitted to the legislature and the legislative fiscal analyst. The summary report provided must include, by agency, program, and reporting level or equivalent, the adjusted base expenditures for fiscal year 2000, anticipated expenditures for fiscal year 2001, and all proposed present law adjustments and new proposals by first level of expenditure and accounting entity for each year of the 2003 biennium. Information provided should be for all information technology-related costs, including but not limited to:

(1) hardware, software, education, and training;

(2) department of administration centralized computer support services, including MBARS and MT PRRIME charges;

(3) contractual service costs for information technology projects or services;

(4) direct information technology personal services costs; and

(5) any other information technology costs not delineated in subsections (1) through (4).

The executive budget for the 2003 biennium submitted under Title 17, chapter 7, part 1, for all information technology requests must be developed and segregated in such a manner that all costs and funding could be accumulated for each governmental agency and program. If information technology requests are part of an existing program structure, these amounts should be identifiable for accumulation purposes as specified above.

NEW SECTION. Section Unified computer budget request -- 2001 legislative session. The unified computer budget request described in [section 10] and submitted to the 57th legislature must be reviewed by the joint appropriations subcommittee on long-range planning, or other legislative committee as designated, composed of members of the house appropriations and senate finance and claims committees formed specifically to address statewide computer issues.

NEW SECTION. Section Use of Montana- and American-based companies. It is the intent of the legislature that agencies of state government make every effort to purchase goods and services first from Montana-based and then from American-based and located companies and subsidiaries.

NEW SECTION. Section Consumer price index changes. If the federal government reformulates the consumer price index, each state agency that uses the consumer price index as an integral part of any contract, grant, benefit, rate, reimbursement, payment, or negotiation shall use the reformulated index unless otherwise prohibited by law.

NEW SECTION. Section Interim information technology management study. To address legislative concerns regarding state agencies' investments in and expenditures for information technology hardware, software, and services, the legislative finance committee shall undertake a study of state information technology that may include a review and assessment of the following:

(1) management review and approval processes for information technology planning and budgeting;

(2) governance structures established to provide policy direction for information technology;

(3) adequacy and appropriateness of existing policy regarding asset replacement cycles;

(4) current level of interagency coordination of information technology deployment to minimize costs, reduce duplication, maximize efficiencies, and provide the greatest possible services to the citizens of Montana;

(5) past and current levels and trends with regard to information technology expenditures, with appropriate comparisons to other states and industry sectors;

(6) methods used to develop rates for proprietary-funded agencies providing information technology services; and

(7) current information technology statutes, rules, and policies.

The committee shall report its findings and recommendations to the governor and to the 57th legislature.

NEW SECTION. Section Totals not appropriations. The totals shown in [this act] are for informational purposes only and are not appropriations.

The department may adjust appropriations in the construction, maintenance, and transportation planning programs between state special and federal special revenue fund types if the total state special revenue authority for these programs is not increased by more than 10% of the total appropriations established by the legislature for each program. All transfers between fund types must be fully explained and justified on budget documents submitted to the office of budget and program planning, and all fund transfers of more than $1 million in any 30-day period must be communicated to the legislative finance committee in a written report.

The equipment program may charge rates necessary to establish and maintain a 60-day working capital balance to operate the program.

Up to $75,000 of the amount of the appropriations in item 6f is contingent upon receiving a transfer of the equivalent amount of funds from the department of public health and human services and is restricted to acquiring vehicles and other equipment used to provide services to the transportation disadvantaged.

All federal special revenue appropriations in the department are biennial appropriations.

It is the goal of the department to assist and help provide the opportunity for current or previous families achieving independence in Montana (FAIM) participants to receive highway construction jobs. The department's goal is for 200 FAIM participants to be employed on highway construction jobs by the end of fiscal year 2000 and for 300 FAIM participants to be employed on highway construction jobs by the end of fiscal year 2001.

It is the goal of the department to assist and help provide the opportunity for current or previous FAIM participants from tribal reservations to receive highway construction jobs that are located off of tribal reservations. The department's goal is for 100 FAIM tribal member participants to be employed on off-reservation highway construction jobs by the end of fiscal year 2000 and for 200 FAIM tribal member participants to be employed on off-reservation highway construction jobs by the end of fiscal year 2001.

The legislature has considered and chosen not to fund the production of Montana state highway maps with revenue from highway users fees and motor fuel taxes. It is the intent of the legislature that funding for Montana state highway maps come from lodging facilities use tax revenue in the department of commerce.

In addition to the 22 FTE authorized in the MT PRRIME operations bureau budget, the legislature authorizes the executive to transfer up to 4 existing FTE to the operations bureau. Funding associated with any transferred FTE must also transfer to the operations bureau, and personal services costs for any transferred FTE must be recorded in the base expenditures of the MT PRRIME operations bureau and not in the agency transferring the FTE.

The legislature also encourages the executive to explore ways to recruit Montana college students to work in the MT PRRIME operations bureau, including ways to offer college credits or other methods as allowed by law.

If the Helena school district is willing to rent space to the department of administration in the Ray Bjork school, the department may collect up to $11,000 from agencies based on the number of Helena FTE for the purpose of establishing and supporting a day-care center.

Funds appropriated for personal services or indicated in legislative intent as having been appropriated for personal services may not be expended under any other category.

The department shall present a report to the appropriate legislative committee every 6 months of the 2001 biennium on the governor's council on children and families. The report must contain, at a minimum, the goals, functions, expenditures, and funding of the council.

Expenditures for all provider rate increases approved by the legislature must be limited to the dollar amounts appropriated rather than a percentage increase. The department will be in compliance with this provision if:

(1) it estimates the total cost for each medicaid service category in June prior to the beginning of each fiscal year of the 2001 biennium; and

(2) the percentage increase or base adjustments approved by the department are limited to the dollar amount appropriated for each provider rate increase.

The department shall distribute the funds in items 2b, 8b, and 9a in a way that provides reasonable assurance that the funds are used solely for direct care wage and benefit increases. Not all providers must receive the same rate of increase each year of the biennium. Funds appropriated in items 2b, 8b, and 9a must be used for direct care worker wage increases and family foster care rate increases. Funds in items 2b, 8b, and 9a may not be used to fund other programs.

The department may add FTE instead of contracting for services if it certifies to the office of budget and program planning that FTE are more cost-effective than contracting. FTE added through this language are modified FTE and may not be included in the 2003 biennium base budget.

Items 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 have been reduced by $716,431 in total funds in the 2001 biennium to reflect a reduction in the personal service budgets of these divisions. It is the intent of the legislature that the following positions be eliminated from the department because they have been vacant at least 10 months:

Position No.	Title	Last Filled

00430	case aide	06/20/97

05200	child support enforcement technician	12/12//97

05136	child support investigator	11/14/97

05173	child support investigator	11/28/97

08130	auditor	04/10/98

95103	resident care aide	01/24/97

All state and federal prevention funds identified in the unified prevention budget under the department, department of labor and industry, department of justice, office of public instruction, board of crime control, department of corrections, office of state coordinator of Indian affairs, and children's trust fund must be reviewed and commented on by the interagency coordinating council for state prevention programs (ICC) before being expended.

The department shall place all goals, benchmarks, and objectives for each division on the department's website. Beginning July 1, 1999, and every 6 months thereafter, the divisions shall review and report on the website their progress in meeting their goals, benchmarks, and objectives.

Benefits for temporary assistance for needy families (TANF) are set at 40.5% of the poverty rate for each year of the biennium.

The provider rate increase for child care should reflect local markets.

If families achieving independence in Montana (FAIM) caseloads increase to a level greater than the projected level of 5,612 for the 2001 biennium or if the department is unable to meet federally mandated work participation requirements because of the lack of resources, the department may access excess TANF funds held by the federal government and referred to by the state to be Montana's "TANF reserve" to fund services that further the goals of FAIM. Therefore, there is appropriated TANF reserve funds up to $8.35 million for the biennium. Prior to accessing these funds, the department shall review with the office of budget and program planning current FAIM caseload statistics and trends in caseload.

The department shall present a plan to the 57th legislature to create a uniform statewide system of funding for the TANF maintenance of effort, eligibility determination for cash assistance, food stamps, and medicaid programs, and foster care program costs. This plan must provide a predictable and adequate source of funding and eliminate the historic distinction in funding human services costs between assumed and nonassumed counties. The department shall include county commissioners and select members of the appropriate legislative committee in development of the plan.

Item 1 includes $493,522 in general fund money in fiscal year 2000 and $493,523 in fiscal year 2001 to replace lost federal matching funds for food stamps, medicaid, and the former aid to families with dependent children. The department is appealing the loss of these federal funds. If the department is successful in the appeal, the appropriation in item 1 is reduced by $493,522 in general fund money in fiscal year 2000 and $493,523 in fiscal year 2001.

Item 1 includes a reduction of $1,750,000 in general fund money in fiscal year 2000 and $2,105,177 in fiscal year 2001 and an increase in federal TANF funds of a like amount in each fiscal year. This funding switch is contingent on passage of House Bill No. 470.

The human and community services division is authorized to use up to $2.96 million in TANF funds for the biennium for expenditures related to the following efforts:

(1) The division shall increase job training, recruitment, and support service efforts in order to secure highway construction or equivalent paying jobs for 200 FAIM recipients in fiscal year 2000 and another 300 FAIM recipients in fiscal year 2001. The dollars must follow the client.

(2) The division shall provide FAIM recipients funds to purchase items including but not limited to car insurance, car repairs, gasoline, and special work clothes.

The division shall direct up to $1.5 million of the $2.96 million toward efforts specified in subsection (1). If the division is not able to use all of the $1.5 million for those efforts, the division may redirect remaining funds to the purpose specified in subsection (2).

The division shall report progress every 6 months on the department's internet virtual pavilion site.

TANF block grant funds of $100,000 each year of the 2001 biennium are appropriated for the purpose of enhancing the adult basic education program for FAIM financial assistance participants. The funds are to be used to provide adult basic education, adult literacy programs, and learning disability assessment, identification, and followup services for FAIM financial assistance participants.

It is the intent of the legislature that the department provide quarterly reports beginning July 1, 1999, to the appropriate legislative committee, as identified in Senate Bill No. 11, and make the reports available on the internet through the department's virtual pavilion. The reports must include:

(1) the human and community services division's means for identifying FAIM recipients who may be qualified for social security disability and supplemental security income (SSI);

(2) the number of FAIM recipients who might meet SSI criteria:

(3) the division's progress in getting people moved from FAIM to SSI; and

(4) the number of FAIM recipients actually moved from FAIM to SSI.

The department may use, in addition to other FAIM dollars, up to $300,000 in TANF funds for the biennium to determine SSI eligibility, including psychological examinations, and to move those who are SSI eligible from FAIM to SSI.

Contingent on the receipt of the social security contribution account reversion to the general fund under 19-1-602(4), general fund money of $17,000 is appropriated in fiscal year 2000 for the Montana food bank network to use as setup funds in the use of Montana state prison's meat processing plant for the processing of meat donated to the Montana food bank. This money is to be used for this purpose only.

The department may not use general fund money to support a program developed to facilitate noncustodial parents' access to their children. It is the intent of the legislature that the child and family services division coordinate participation in this program with the child support enforcement division.

The legislature approved funding for 2 new FTE in item 2. These 2 FTE may not be transferred to any other division.

The department shall work with the supreme court to develop joint rules, regulations, and procedures for the foster care review process.

Item 4 includes general fund money of $242,367 in fiscal year 2000 and $254,379 in fiscal year 2001 to replace a shortfall in state special revenue from child support collections. This appropriation is one-time only.

Beginning July 1, 1999, and every 6 months thereafter, the child support enforcement division shall make a report available on the internet through the department's virtual pavilion on its progress in collecting child support on tribal reservations.

General fund costs of medicaid benefits may not exceed:

(1) a 2.5% annual compounded rate of growth in fiscal year 2000 from the fiscal year 1998 base amount of $99,317,700; and

(2) 3.5% in fiscal year 2001 from the fiscal year 1998 base amount of $99,317,700.

The department is authorized to use up to $50,000 of general fund money from other appropriations within the department for expenditures related to disease outbreaks and other public health emergencies that may occur during the 2001 biennium.

The department shall provide detailed information on the services provided and results of MIAMI programs on reservations to the appropriate legislative committee by September 1, 2000.

The department shall prepare and present a report to the appropriate legislative committee on activities funded by the federal abstinence education grant. The department should present the report at the first committee meeting convened after the end of fiscal year 2000. The report must:

(1) enumerate and explain how grant funds were expended by type of expenditure in fiscal year 1999 and fiscal year 2000;

(2) explain the status of training for communities and other entities;

(3) explain other information pertinent to federal grant requirements and outcomes; and

(4) identify measurable program goals and objectives for fiscal year 2001 and the 2003 biennium.

Item 5 includes $62,899,987 in fiscal year 2000 and $63,781,717 in fiscal year 2001 for medicaid-funded hospital services.

Funds in item 5a must be used to contract with public or private entities for the administration and provision of primary and preventive health care benefits to children who are uninsured and not eligible for medicaid benefits. To qualify, the family income may be no greater than 185% of the federal poverty level. Funds in item 5a may be allocated only to those programs that have established a statewide network of medical providers who have agreed to accept reimbursement at a rate lower than would normally be charged for their services. Funds in item 5a may not be used to pay the state share of children's health insurance program costs.

Implementation of the resource-based relative value scale (RBRVS) provider rate system must be phased in over the 2001 biennium. The department shall use funds in item 5b to raise rates paid to those codes that are paid the lowest percentage of medicare reimbursement. The department shall freeze reimbursement for all other procedure codes previously decreased under the phasein of the RBRVS reimbursement system at the fiscal year1999 level of reimbursement.

The department shall use $430,000 of funds each year of the biennium in item 5c to increase grants to local governments and communities.

Item 5d includes funds for a chronic disease epidemiologist FTE. If the federal grant funds supporting this position decline or are eliminated, the department shall reduce the FTE from its budget request for the 2003 biennium. Federal grants supporting this position include the behavioral risk surveillance grant, the diabetes control grant, the tobacco control grant, and the tumor registry grant.

If federal grant funds supporting item 5e decline or are discontinued, the department shall remove funding for the FTE supported by this federal grant in its 2003 biennium budget request.

If the federal tumor registry grant is not received, it is the intent of the legislature that no general fund money be approved for tumor registry and that the general fund appropriation in item 7 be reduced by $77,810 in fiscal year 2000 and $77,810 in fiscal year 2001.

Item 7 includes $676,680 in fiscal year 2000 and $676,343 in fiscal year 2001 for laboratory services. It is the intent of the legislature that the department not increase fees if revenue is not sufficient to fund the amounts appropriated.

The disability services division is authorized to pursue up to $2 million in federal funding over the biennium to enhance and improve services to persons with developmental disabilities. These additional federal funds may be expended by the division on services as long as those actions do not require or commit the state to additional general fund expenditures beyond the amount appropriated for the 2001 biennium by the legislature for the developmental disabilities community.

Item 8 contains an appropriation of $7,581,094 in federal funds each year of the biennium for the Title XX grant. If the department receives less funds in the Title XX grant than the appropriated amount, the department shall transfer up to $2.3 million in general fund money over the biennium from medicaid appropriations in the department to the disability services division. General fund money transferred to offset the Title XX shortfall must be used to serve individuals being moved from state institutions to community services and individuals from the community waiting list.

Item 8 contains an appropriation of $7,581,094 in federal funds each year of the biennium for the Title XX grant. If the department receives less funds in the Title XX grant than the appropriated amount, up to $2.8 million in TANF funds for the biennium must be transferred to the disability services division. The TANF funds transferred to offset the Title XX shortfall must be used to serve individuals being moved from state institutions to community services and individuals from the community waiting list.

Item 8 contains an appropriation of $7,581,094 in federal funds each year of the biennium for the Title XX grant. If the department receives less funds in the Title XX grant than the appropriated amount, $43,000 in general fund money is appropriated for fiscal year 2001 to implement a means test for TANF eligibility determination.

Provider, consumer, and department representatives of the strategic planning across Montana followup committee shall provide a written report every 6 months to the legislative fiscal division on the progress of the design and implementation of the individualized community support approach to service delivery in the developmental disabilities system.

The disability services division is directed to develop a proposal for the 2001 legislature that considers the following options:

(1) moving individuals from the Montana developmental center and Eastmont human services center to community settings if it is determined that a person may benefit from services in a community setting and if the services appropriate for the person's needs are available;

(2) based on the population remaining at both institutions, determine if an institution could be closed;

(3) if an institution is proposed to be closed, explore and recommend alternative uses for that institution; and

(4) develop a reduction in force plan that takes into consideration a reasonable way to reduce the staff at the institutions through normal attrition and planned layoffs and calculate the cost for paying out sick leave, vacation, and severance pay.

Item 8 contains a general fund appropriation of $27,723 in fiscal year 2000 and $57,108 in fiscal year 2001 for anticipated increases by the board of regents in tuition of 4%. If the board of regents approves college tuition increases of less than 4%, the general fund appropriation is reduced a proportionate amount.

Up to $1 million of the general fund share from lien and estate recoveries pursuant to Title 53, chapter 6, part 1, in excess of the first $600,000, and up to $2 million in federal funds is appropriated over the biennium on a one-time basis in the amount of 50% to the medicaid home and community waiver program and 50% to the medicaid nursing home program. Lien and estate funds allocated to the medicaid nursing home program must be used for staff training, bonuses for direct care staff, or other one-time benefits for staff.

The department may supplement funds appropriated for nursing home rate increases with funds appropriated for increased nursing home bed days in order to address the increased staffing needs associated with caring for a more difficult nursing home patient population and to avoid inappropriate decreases in the department's current nursing home reimbursement formula, as long as total program expenditures do not exceed the appropriation for nursing homes.

Money appropriated in item 10c may not be expended unless the department has given the 180-day notice of termination provided in the mental health access plan contract .

Money appropriated in item 10d may be used only to implement the regional mental health care plan provided for in [LC 1913] .

The department shall implement a mental health managed care program by fiscal year 2001. The department shall contract with one or more willing, qualified entities for care in regions established by the department. The contractors must be reimbursed on a capitated, case rate, or fixed payment reimbursement basis to manage mental health care.

The department shall institute copayments for persons served in the mental health managed care program as allowed under 53-6-131(10).

The department shall encourage successful contractors to also serve persons who need mental health services but who are not eligible for services under the state mental health managed care plan. The department shall encourage successful contractors to establish fee schedules at the discretion of the contractor to serve persons ineligible for services under the state mental health managed care plan.

The department shall provide for consumer involvement and input in developing requests for proposals, evaluating proposals, and implementing the mental health managed care contracts.

The department shall establish and include outcome measures in the mental health managed care contracts.

The department shall explicitly identify in its mental health managed care plan how the Montana state hospital will be integrated into the regional mental health managed care contracts, how all services provided by the Montana state hospital will be funded, and how rates and charges for all services at the Montana state hospital will be established. The department shall provide this information to the legislative finance committee and other appropriate legislative committees no later than July 1, 1999.

The department shall establish a process that allows for public input and comment. The process must specify defined times and opportunities for public input when interested persons may comment on the request for proposals for the regional mental health managed care program, related contracts that the department may let, state mental health managed care policies, transition to the regional mental health managed care program, implementation of the new regional program, and oversight of the regional program. The department shall consider public comment and input that it receives.

The department shall provide biweekly reports to interested persons and the public on the transition to the regional system of mental health managed care.

The office of the governor shall provide oversight of the transition to the regional mental health managed care system, development of the request for proposals, implementation of the regional mental health managed care system, and contract compliance.

In accordance with 17-8-103, the department may not spend more for mental health managed care services than was appropriated in [this act].

If the occupancy date for the new Montana state hospital is delayed beyond October 1, 1999, the department and the department of administration shall pursue the assessment of any penalties allowable under the construction contract because of contractor liability for delays. The department is appropriated up to $700,000 in state special revenue funds over the biennium from penalties collected from the contractor.

(3) A report must be submitted by the department to the legislative fiscal division following the end of each fiscal year of the biennium. The report must include a listing of projects with the related amount of expenditures and FTE for each project.

Item 2c is to be used to lease winter habitat for big game on private lands. Owners of land leased with this money may not outfit on the leased land. This item is to be funded from the wildlife habitat account.

For the 2001 biennium, the paddlefish roe program is to be funded entirely with proceeds from the sale of paddlefish roe and not subsidized from the general license account.

The department is appropriated up to $172,000 of additional federal spending authority during each year of the 2001 biennium for the purpose of complying with the clean water action plan when the use of the funds is identified and when the funds become available from EPA. These funds are awarded through the water pollution 106 section of the EPA performance partnership grant.

If the $285,000 long-term advance due to the environmental quality protection fund is not repaid in fiscal year 1999, appropriations for the 2001 biennium from this account are restricted to this account only for purposes of 75-10-704 and may not be transferred for other uses.

(5) percent increase in economic value of agriculture;

(6) percent decrease in number of multiple jobholders;

(7) percent increase in value of the livestock industry; and

(8) percent increase in revenue generated from film and advertisement production.

Legislative contract authority applies only to federal and private funds.

Legislative contract authority expenditures must be reported on state accounting records and kept separate from present law operations. In preparing the 2003 biennium executive budget, the office of budget and program planning may not include expenditures from this item in the present law base.

A report must be submitted by the department to the legislative fiscal analyst following the end of each fiscal year, listing legislative contract authority grants received and the amount of expenditures and FTE for each grant.

The legislature recognizes that the cost associated with litigation in which the legal services division is required to provide representation to the state of Montana may exceed the appropriation provided. In that event, the department may need to request a supplemental appropriation from the 2001 legislature to adequately represent the state.

There is appropriated from the highway patrol retirement clearing account for payments to the Montana highway patrol pension fund the amount required for this transfer, not to exceed $750,000 each fiscal year.

All anticipated revenue from the workers' compensation assessment of 2.6% is included in items 1, 3, 4, and 6. If the 2.6% cap on the workers' compensation assessment is not removed, the department may redistribute the workers' compensation regulation revenue among all divisions to allocate corresponding personal services reductions, except that the workers' compensation court appropriation may not be changed.

Items 1 through 4 include employment security account funds. Because of reductions in the funds, the department may redistribute the employment security account funds among programs in order to allocate corresponding program reductions.

The appropriations in the job service division, centralized services division, and employment relations division include anticipated available funds from the employment security account. As such, the legislature has considered replacing, and has specifically chosen not to replace, any reduced employment security funds with general fund money. It is therefore the legislature's intent that the programs affected reduce operations to the level required to operate within the appropriation and that the department not seek a supplemental appropriation from the next legislature except in the case of an unexpected or unanticipated emergency.

Item 2 includes capital project funds of $434,383 in fiscal year 2000 and $431,805 in fiscal year 2001 and a decrease in federal funds of $343,096 in fiscal year 2000 and $343,096 in fiscal year 2001 for telephone claims annualization. This appropriation is one-time only.

Item 3 includes $21,848 in general fund money, a reduction of $11,132 in state special revenue funds, a reduction of $8,185 in federal funds, and a reduction of $2,531 in proprietary funds in both fiscal year 2000 and fiscal year 2001 for a one-time only human rights cost allocation adjustment.

Item 4 includes $65,852 in general fund money, a reduction of $57,292 in state special revenue funds, a reduction of $1,976 in federal funds, and a reduction of $6,584 in proprietary funds in both fiscal year 2000 and fiscal year 2001 for a one-time only human rights cost allocation adjustment.

Item 4 includes $62,300 in general fund money and a reduction of $62,300 in federal funds in fiscal year 2000 and fiscal year 2001 for a one-time only general fund replacement of lost federal funds.

Excluding the state match, it is the legislature's intent that the welfare-to-work program not be supported with state funds if the federal government reduces or terminates its support.

The department may not use general fund money to support the one-stop workforce center system or the unemployment insurance telephone claims center.

It is the legislature's intent that the centralized services functions of the department be provided to the department's programs and that the rates charged for these functions be the rates agreed upon by the United States department of labor federal cost negotiator. The applied rate for fiscal year 2000 may not exceed 9.6% of a program's actual personal services costs incurred in that fiscal year and in fiscal year 2001 may not exceed 8.9% of a program's actual personal services costs incurred in that fiscal year.

It is the legislature's intent that the input/output control operations functions continue to provide the services to department users. The charge an hour to the users may be no more than $50 an hour for the 2001 biennium. This rate must be analyzed throughout the biennium, and particular consideration must be given to the time spent providing this function to the customers and to the cash balance of the fund.

Items 1 through 3, 5 through 7a, 8, and 9 are a single biennial lump-sum appropriation.

Audit costs for the office of the commissioner of higher education are estimated to be $32,224.

Total audit costs are estimated to be $64,000 for the community colleges for the biennium. The general fund appropriation for each community college provides 51% of the total audit costs in fiscal year 2000. The remaining 49% of these costs must be paid from funds other than those appropriated in item 4a. Audit costs for the biennium may not exceed $20,000 each for Dawson and Miles community colleges and $24,000 for Flathead Valley community college.

Total Summitnet costs are estimated to be $25,000 each year for the community colleges. The general fund appropriation for the community colleges provides 51% of the total Summitnet costs. The remaining 49% of these costs must be paid from funds other than those appropriated in item 4. Summitnet costs for each year may not exceed $8,000 each for Dawson and Miles community colleges and $9,000 for Flathead Valley community college.

Because certain employee benefit plans require a large number of individual premiums for a variety of benefit options, because the portion of these premiums paid by the state is statutorily established in 2-18-703, and because the employee-paid portion of these premiums must be adjusted from time to time to maintain employee group benefit plans on an actuarially sound basis, the legislature defines rates and fees for Montana university system employee benefit programs to mean the state contribution toward employee group benefits provided for in 2-18-703 and the employee contribution toward employee group benefits necessary to maintain the employee group benefit plans on an actuarially sound basis.

Revenue appropriated to the Montana university system units and colleges of technology includes: (1) state special revenue from interest earnings of $1,608,019 each year of the 2001 biennium; and (2) tuition and other revenue of $107,921,502 in fiscal year 2000 and $112,194,076 in fiscal year 2001. These amounts are appropriated for current unrestricted operating expenses as a biennial lump-sum appropriation and are in addition to the funds shown in item 7.

Included in state special revenue appropriations in item 7 is $14,809,000 in fiscal year 2000 and $15,280,000 in fiscal year 2001 from revenue generated under the provisions of 20-25-423. Revenue received by the university system under the provisions of 20-25-423 that exceeds $14,809,000 in fiscal year 2000 and $15,280,000 in fiscal year 2001 is appropriated to the board of regents, to a maximum of $4,911,000 (total $35 million) for the biennium. If revenue received under the provisions of 20-25-423 is less than $30,089,000 in the 2001 biennium, it is the intent of the legislature that the commissioner of higher education reduce the university system expenditures by corresponding amounts.

Item 7 includes $399,060 in each year of the biennium that must be transferred to the energy conservation program account and used to retire the general obligation bonds sold to fund energy improvements through the state building energy conservation program. The costs of this transfer in each year of the biennium are: university of Montana- Missoula, $207,300; Montana tech of the university of Montana, $28,000; Montana state university-northern, $97,000; Montana state university-Billings, $56,000; and western Montana college of the university of Montana, $10,760.

Total audit costs are estimated to be $549,842 for the university system other than the office of the commissioner of higher education. Each unit shall pay a percentage of these costs from funds other than those appropriated in item 7a.

At the direction of the legislative audit committee, the legislative auditor shall conduct at least three performance audits of university and college of technology campus physical plant and grounds and maintenance operations during the 2001 biennium. When deciding which campuses to audit, the legislative audit committee shall consider comments from representatives from each campus, the commissioner of higher education, and the architecture and engineering division. The legislative audit committee shall rank each campus in order of audit priority, considering maintenance needs, current maintenance and physical plant expenditures, and other information that the committee considers relevant. The commissioner of higher education shall pay the audit costs of up to $80,000 from the one-time only, biennial general fund appropriation restricted to that purpose. The legislative auditor shall report the results of the performance audits to the legislative audit committee and to the public prior to the 2001 legislative session.

The legislature recommends that a minimum of 13% of the total current unrestricted operating funds for the units and the colleges of technology be spent on operations and maintenance in program 7 because an increasing level of deferred maintenance has followed: (1) construction of a substantial number of new buildings in recent years; and (2) a decline in the proportional amount of the current unrestricted funds spent on operations and maintenance. This percentage is recommended to ensure more timely maintenance that should result in a lower level of deferred maintenance in university system buildings.

University system units are defined in 17-7-102(13). For all university system units, except the office of the commissioner of higher education, all funds (other than plant funds appropriated in House Bill No. 5 relating to long-range building and current unrestricted operating funds) are appropriated contingent on approval of the comprehensive program budget by the board of regents by October 1 of each year. For all university system 4-year units and colleges of technology, all funds, other than funds appropriated in House Bill No. 5 for long-range building programs, are appropriated as a lump sum for the biennium contingent upon approval of the comprehensive program budget by the board of regents by October 1 of each year. The board of regents shall allocate the appropriations to the individual units according to board policy. The budget must contain detailed revenue and expenditure and anticipated fund balances of current funds, loan funds, endowment funds, and plant funds. After the board of regents approves operating budgets, transfers between units may be made only with the approval of the board of regents. Requests for transfer and related justification must be submitted to the office of budget and program planning and to the legislative fiscal analyst prior to approval by the board of regents. All movement of funds between the current unrestricted subfund and the designated subfund accounts must be clearly identified in the state budgeting and accounting system.

All university system units, except the office of the commissioner of higher education, shall account for expenditures consistently within programs and funds across all units and shall use the national center for higher education management systems program classifications structure, along with the college and university business administration (CUBA) system, as a minimum standard for achieving consistency.

The Montana university system, except the office of the commissioner of higher education and the community colleges, shall provide the office of budget and program planning and the legislative fiscal division with banner training and online electronic access to the entire university system's banner information system by May 1, 2000, except:

(1) the ability to change data;

(2) portions of the banner information system that are the property of third parties (such as alumni associations or foundations); and

(3) information pertaining to individual students or individual employees that is protected by Article II, sections 9 and 10, of the Montana constitution, 20-25-515, or the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, 20 U.S.C. 1232g.

Items 1 through 3 in no way limit the power of the budget director or the legislative fiscal analyst to receive and examine copies of any state government information, including confidential records, in accordance with 5-12-303 and 17-1-132.

By fiscal yearend 2000 and thereafter:

(1) the actual personal services data for all funds on banner must tie to the actual expenditures as recorded on the state accounting and human resource systems; and

(2) the budgeted personal services for current unrestricted operating funds on banner must tie to the operating plan for expenditure of funds appropriated in [this act] and other bills, as approved by the board of regents.

The Montana university system shall provide the electronic data required to upload human resource data for the current unrestricted operating funds into the MBARS system by program number, cost center, and position, including but not limited to the budgeted salary and benefits, grade and step, FTE, position title and position type, longevity dates and increments, years of service, benefit factors, workers' compensation code, final ending hourly salary, and class code.

The Montana university system shall present a report to the legislative education committee established in Senate Bill No. 11 in the first quarter of each fiscal year that provides the average actual instruction program cost per student credit hour for the most recently completed fiscal year and the supporting information per unit. The averages and the detail per unit must be provided as follows:

(1) lower division, which includes freshmen and sophomore classes;

(2) upper division, which includes junior and senior classes;

(3) graduate I level, which includes classes for those with a bachelor's degree who are working on a master's degree; and

(4) graduate II level, which includes classes for those with a master's degree who are working on a higher degree.

Revenue appropriated to the agricultural experiment station includes: (1) state special revenue from interest earnings of $79,332 each year of the 2001 biennium; (2) federal revenue of $1,986,061 in fiscal year 2000 and $2,045,643 in fiscal year 2001; and (3) proprietary revenue from sales of $975,379 in fiscal year 2000 and $972,946 in fiscal year 2001. These amounts are appropriated for current unrestricted operating expenses and are in addition to the funds shown in item 7b.

Revenue appropriated to the extension service each year of the biennium includes: (1) state special revenue from interest earnings of $40,739; and (2) federal revenue of $2,187,516. These amounts are appropriated for current unrestricted operating expenses and are in addition to the funds shown in item 7c.

General fund money of $90,000 each year of the 2001 biennium in item 7d is a biennial, one-time only appropriation for one staff person and for expenses for the Montana beef network within the extension service.

Interest revenue of $4,923 in fiscal year 2000 and $4,959 in fiscal year 2001 is appropriated to the forestry and conservation experiment station for current unrestricted operating expenses. This amount is in addition to that shown in item 7e.

Proprietary revenue of $59,000 each year of the biennium is appropriated to the bureau of mines and geology for current unrestricted operating expenses. This amount is in addition to that shown in item 7f.

Interest revenue of $4,097 each year of the biennium is appropriated to the fire services training school for current unrestricted operating expenses. This amount is in addition to that shown in item 7g.
