The director shall also 38 report to the fiscal committees of the legislature all of the 39 p. 215 ESSB 5187.SL
expenditures of this subsection and shall provide such fiscal data in 1 the time, manner, and form requested by the legislative fiscal 2 committees. 3 (b) The authority and the department shall seek additional 4 flexibilities for housing supports through the centers for medicare 5 and medicaid services and shall coordinate with the office of 6 financial management and the department of commerce to ensure that 7 services are not duplicated. 8 (c) The director shall report to the joint select committee on 9 health care oversight no less than quarterly on utilization and 10 caseload statistics for both supportive housing and employment 11 services and its progress toward increasing uptake and availability 12 for these services. 13 (5) $1,432,000 of the general fund—state appropriation for fiscal 14 year 2024 and $3,008,000 of the general fund—state appropriation for 15 fiscal year 2025 are provided solely for supported employment 16 services and $1,478,000 of the general fund—state appropriation for 17 fiscal year 2024 and $3,162,000 of the general fund—state 18 appropriation for fiscal year 2025 are provided solely for supported 19 housing services, similar to the services described in initiatives 3a 20 and 3b of the 1115 demonstration waiver to individuals who are 21 ineligible for medicaid. Under these initiatives, the authority and 22 the department of social and health services shall ensure that 23 allowable and necessary services are provided to eligible clients as 24 identified by the authority or its third-party administrator. Before 25 authorizing services, eligibility for initiative 3a or 3b of the 1115 26 demonstration waiver must first be determined. 27 (6) Sufficient amounts are appropriated in this subsection to 28 implement the medicaid expansion as defined in the social security 29 act, section 1902(a)(10)(A)(i)(VIII). 30 (7) The legislature finds that medicaid payment rates, as 31 calculated by the health care authority pursuant to the 32 appropriations in this act, bear a reasonable relationship to the 33 costs incurred by efficiently and economically operated facilities 34 for providing quality services and will be sufficient to enlist 35 enough providers so that care and services are available to the 36 extent that such care and services are available to the general 37 population in the geographic area. The legislature finds that the 38 cost reports, payment data from the federal government, historical 39 p. 216 ESSB 5187.SL
utilization, economic data, and clinical input constitute reliable 1 data upon which to determine the payment rates. 2 (8) Based on quarterly expenditure reports and caseload 3 forecasts, if the health care authority estimates that expenditures 4 for the medical assistance program will exceed the appropriations, 5 the health care authority shall take steps including but not limited 6 to reduction of rates or elimination of optional services to reduce 7 expenditures so that total program costs do not exceed the annual 8 appropriation authority. 9 (9) In determining financial eligibility for medicaid-funded 10 services, the health care authority is authorized to disregard 11 recoveries by Holocaust survivors of insurance proceeds or other 12 assets, as defined in RCW 48.104.030. 13 (10) The legislature affirms that it is in the state's interest 14 for Harborview medical center to remain an economically viable 15 component of the state's health care system. 16 (11) When a person is ineligible for medicaid solely by reason of 17 residence in an institution for mental diseases, the health care 18 authority shall provide the person with the same benefits as he or 19 she would receive if eligible for medicaid, using state-only funds to 20 the extent necessary. 21 (12) $4,176,000 of the general fund—state appropriation for 22 fiscal year 2024, $4,261,000 of the general fund—state appropriation 23 for fiscal year 2025, and $8,607,000 of the general fund—federal 24 appropriation are provided solely for low-income disproportionate 25 share hospital payments. 26 (13) Within the amounts appropriated in this section, the health 27 care authority shall provide disproportionate share hospital payments 28 to hospitals that provide services to children in the children's 29 health program who are not eligible for services under Title XIX or 30 XXI of the federal social security act due to their citizenship 31 status. 32 (14) $7,000,000 of the general fund—federal appropriation is 33 provided solely for supplemental payments to nursing homes operated 34 by public hospital districts. The public hospital district shall be 35 responsible for providing the required nonfederal match for the 36 supplemental payment, and the payments shall not exceed the maximum 37 allowable under federal rules. It is the legislature's intent that 38 the payments shall be supplemental to and shall not in any way offset 39 p. 217 ESSB 5187.SL
or reduce the payments calculated and provided in accordance with 1 part E of chapter 74.46 RCW. It is the legislature's further intent 2 that costs otherwise allowable for rate-setting and settlement 3 against payments under chapter 74.46 RCW shall not be disallowed 4 solely because such costs have been paid by revenues retained by the 5 nursing home from these supplemental payments. The supplemental 6 payments are subject to retrospective interim and final cost 7 settlements based on the nursing homes' as-filed and final medicare 8 cost reports. The timing of the interim and final cost settlements 9 shall be at the health care authority's discretion. During either the 10 interim cost settlement or the final cost settlement, the health care 11 authority shall recoup from the public hospital districts the 12 supplemental payments that exceed the medicaid cost limit and/or the 13 medicare upper payment limit. The health care authority shall apply 14 federal rules for identifying the eligible incurred medicaid costs 15 and the medicare upper payment limit. 16 (15) The health care authority shall continue the inpatient 17 hospital certified public expenditures program for the 2023-2025 18 fiscal biennium. The program shall apply to all public hospitals, 19 including those owned or operated by the state, except those 20 classified as critical access hospitals or state psychiatric 21 institutions. The health care authority shall submit reports to the 22 governor and legislature by November 1, 2023, and by November 1, 23 2024, that evaluate whether savings continue to exceed costs for this 24 program. If the certified public expenditures (CPE) program in its 25 current form is no longer cost-effective to maintain, the health care 26 authority shall submit a report to the governor and legislature 27 detailing cost-effective alternative uses of local, state, and 28 federal resources as a replacement for this program. During fiscal 29 year 2024 and fiscal year 2025, hospitals in the program shall be 30 paid and shall retain 100 percent of the federal portion of the 31 allowable hospital cost for each medicaid inpatient fee-for-service 32 claim payable by medical assistance and 100 percent of the federal 33 portion of the maximum disproportionate share hospital payment 34 allowable under federal regulations. For the purpose of determining 35 the amount of any state grant under this subsection, payments will 36 include the federal portion of medicaid program supplemental payments 37 received by the hospitals. Inpatient medicaid payments shall be 38 established using an allowable methodology that approximates the cost 39 of claims submitted by the hospitals. Payments made to each hospital 40 p. 218 ESSB 5187.SL
in the program in each fiscal year of the biennium shall be compared 1 to a baseline amount. The baseline amount will be determined by the 2 total of (a) the inpatient claim payment amounts that would have been 3 paid during the fiscal year had the hospital not been in the CPE 4 program based on the reimbursement rates developed, implemented, and 5 consistent with policies approved in the 2023-2025 biennial operating 6 appropriations act and in effect on July 1, 2015, (b) one-half of the 7 indigent assistance disproportionate share hospital payment amounts 8 paid to and retained by each hospital during fiscal year 2005, and 9 (c) all of the other disproportionate share hospital payment amounts 10 paid to and retained by each hospital during fiscal year 2005 to the 11 extent the same disproportionate share hospital programs exist in the 12 2019-2021 fiscal biennium. If payments during the fiscal year exceed 13 the hospital's baseline amount, no additional payments will be made 14 to the hospital except the federal portion of allowable 15 disproportionate share hospital payments for which the hospital can 16 certify allowable match. If payments during the fiscal year are less 17 than the baseline amount, the hospital will be paid a state grant 18 equal to the difference between payments during the fiscal year and 19 the applicable baseline amount. Payment of the state grant shall be 20 made in the applicable fiscal year and distributed in monthly 21 payments. The grants will be recalculated and redistributed as the 22 baseline is updated during the fiscal year. The grant payments are 23 subject to an interim settlement within 11 months after the end of 24 the fiscal year. A final settlement shall be performed. To the extent 25 that either settlement determines that a hospital has received funds 26 in excess of what it would have received as described in this 27 subsection, the hospital must repay the excess amounts to the state 28 when requested. $237,000 of the general fund—state appropriation for 29 fiscal year 2024 and $218,000 of the general fund—state appropriation 30 for fiscal year 2025 are provided solely for state grants for the 31 participating hospitals. 32 (16) The health care authority shall seek public-private 33 partnerships and federal funds that are or may become available to 34 provide ongoing support for outreach and education efforts under the 35 federal children's health insurance program reauthorization act of 36 2009. 37 (17) The health care authority shall target funding for maternity 38 support services towards pregnant women with factors that lead to 39 higher rates of poor birth outcomes, including hypertension, a 40 p. 219 ESSB 5187.SL

The health 4 care authority shall prioritize evidence-based practices for delivery 5 of maternity support services. To the extent practicable, the health 6 care authority shall develop a mechanism to increase federal funding 7 for maternity support services by leveraging local public funding for 8 those services. 9 (18) The authority shall submit reports to the governor and the 10 legislature by September 15, 2023, and no later than September 15, 11 2024, that delineate the number of individuals in medicaid managed 12 care, by carrier, age, gender, and eligibility category, receiving 13 preventative services and vaccinations.

The health care authority shall complete 37 medicaid applications in the HealthPlanfinder for households 38 receiving or applying for medical assistance benefits. 39 p. 220 ESSB 5187.SL

This shift in state government 7 operations has led to agencies' reevaluation of the amount of 8 physical office space they will require as they implement hybrid work 9 environments and adopt expanded telework opportunities. The 10 appropriations in this section reflect adjustments in agency 11 appropriations related to office space reductions to be achieved from 12 hybrid work, telework, and the strategy provided in this section. The 13 office of financial management shall adjust allotments in the amounts 14 specified, and to the state agencies specified, in LEAP omnibus 15 document LSSV-2023, dated April 22, 2023, and adjust appropriation 16 schedules accordingly. 17 (2) To meet the goal of efficient use of state funds and office 18 space, state agencies, institutions of higher education, and 19 separately elected officials must adhere to the office of financial 20 management's statewide space use policy, data integrity and system 21 access policy, inventory policy, and the human resource management 22 system data validation guide to ensure space use data is complete, 23 accurate, and consistent for reporting and analysis. 24 (3) State agencies, institutions of higher education, and 25 separately elected officials with leases expiring in fiscal years 26 2024 and 2025 must work toward reducing leased office space a minimum 27 of 20 percent upon lease renewal or when requesting office 28 relocation. Reductions in lease costs will be reflected in subsequent 29 budgets. 30 (4) It is the intent of the legislature that state agencies, 31 institutions of higher education, and separately elected officials 32 with leases expiring in fiscal years 2026 and 2027 work to reduce 33 their office space portfolio a minimum of 30 percent upon lease 34 renewal or when requesting office relocation. The reductions in costs 35 will be reflected in subsequent budgets. 36 (5) State agencies must: 37 p. 1379 ESSB 5187.SL
(a) Work with the office of financial management's facilities 1 oversight and planning program and the department of enterprise 2 services to backfill office space and reduce full leases; 3 (b) Update monthly the office of financial management's 4 facilities portfolio management tool to maximize collocation 5 opportunities and better inform decision making; 6 (c) Update telework and employee location data monthly in the 7 human resource management system to reflect office space use and 8 needs; and 9 (d) Maintain a telework policy in accordance with executive order 10 16-07, building a modern work environment. 11 *Sec. 1708 was vetoed.

PART XIX 1 MISCELLANEOUS 2 SUPPLEMENTAL 3 Sec. 1901. RCW 28B.76.526 and 2020 c 357 s 911 are each amended 4 to read as follows: 5 The Washington opportunity pathways account is created in the 6 state treasury. Expenditures from the account may be used only for 7 programs in chapter 28A.710 RCW (charter schools), chapter 28B.12 RCW 8 (state work-study), chapter 28B.50 RCW (opportunity grant), RCW 9 28B.76.660 (Washington scholars award), RCW 28B.76.670 (Washington 10 award for vocational excellence), chapter 28B.92 RCW (Washington 11 college grant program), chapter 28B.105 RCW (GET ready for math and 12 science scholarship), chapter 28B.117 RCW (passport to careers), 13 chapter 28B.118 RCW (college bound scholarship), and chapter 43.216 14 RCW (early childhood education and assistance program). During the 15 2019-2021 and 2021-2023 fiscal ((biennium)) biennia, the account may 16 also be appropriated for public schools funded under chapters 28A.150 17 and 28A.715 RCW. 18 Sec. 1902. RCW 70A.65.030 and 2022 c 182 s 104 and 2022 c 181 s 19 13 are each reenacted and amended to read as follows: 20 (1) Each year or biennium, as appropriate, when allocating funds 21 from the carbon emissions reduction account created in RCW 22 70A.65.240, the climate commitment account created in RCW 70A.65.260, 23 the natural climate solutions account created in RCW 70A.65.270, the 24 climate investment account created in RCW 70A.65.250, the air quality 25 and health disparities improvement account created in RCW 70A.65.280, 26 the climate transit programs account created in RCW 46.68.500, or the 27 climate active transportation account created in RCW 46.68.490, or 28 administering grants or programs funded by the accounts, agencies 29 shall conduct an environmental justice assessment consistent with the 30 requirements of RCW 70A.02.060 and establish a minimum of not less 31 than 35 percent and a goal of 40 percent of total investments that 32 provide direct and meaningful benefits to vulnerable populations 33 within the boundaries of overburdened communities through: (a) The 34 direct reduction of environmental burdens in overburdened 35 communities; (b) the reduction of disproportionate, cumulative risk 36 from environmental burdens, including those associated with climate 37 change; (c) the support of community led project development, 38 p. 1388 ESSB 5187.SL
planning, and participation costs; or (d) meeting a community need 1 identified by the community that is consistent with the intent of 2 this chapter or RCW 70A.02.010. 3 (2) The allocation of funding under subsection (1) of this 4 section must adhere to the following principles, additional to the 5 requirements of RCW 70A.02.080: (a) Benefits and programs should be 6 directed to areas and targeted to vulnerable populations and 7 overburdened communities to reduce statewide disparities; (b) 8 investments and benefits should be made roughly proportional to the 9 health disparities that a specific community experiences, with a goal 10 of eliminating the disparities; (c) investments and programs should 11 focus on creating environmental benefits, including eliminating 12 health burdens, creating community and population resilience, and 13 raising the quality of life of those in the community; and (d) 14 efforts should be made to balance investments and benefits across the 15 state and within counties, local jurisdictions, and unincorporated 16 areas as appropriate to reduce disparities by location and to ensure 17 efforts contribute to a reduction in disparities that exist based on 18 race or ethnicity, socioeconomic status, or other factors. 19 (3) ((State)) Except as provided in subsection (4) of this 20 section, state agencies allocating funds or administering grants or 21 programs from the carbon emissions reduction account created in RCW 22 70A.65.240, the climate commitment account created in RCW 70A.65.260, 23 the natural climate solutions account created in RCW 70A.65.270, the 24 climate investment account created in RCW 70A.65.250, the air quality 25 and health disparities improvement account created in RCW 70A.65.280, 26 the climate transit programs account created in RCW 46.68.500, or the 27 climate active transportation account created in RCW 46.68.490, must: 28 (a) Report annually to the environmental justice council created 29 in RCW 70A.02.110 regarding progress toward meeting environmental 30 justice and environmental health goals; 31 (b) Consider recommendations by the environmental justice 32 council; and 33 (c)(i) If the agency is not a covered agency subject to the 34 requirements of chapter 70A.02 RCW, create and adopt a community 35 engagement plan to describe how it will engage with overburdened 36 communities and vulnerable populations in allocating funds or 37 administering grants or programs from the climate investment account. 38 p. 1389 ESSB 5187.SL
(ii) The plan must include methods for outreach and communication 1 with those who face barriers, language or otherwise, to 2 participation. 3 (4) During the 2021-2023 fiscal biennium, the requirements of 4 subsection (3)(c) of this section for agencies other than covered 5 agencies to create and adopt community engagement plans apply only to 6 executive branch agencies and institutions of higher education, as 7 defined in RCW 28B.10.016, receiving total appropriations of more 8 than $2,000,000 for the 2021-2023 fiscal biennium from the accounts 9 listed in subsection (1) of this section. 10 Sec. 1903. RCW 74.46.561 and 2022 c 297 s 966 are each amended 11 to read as follows: 12 (1) The legislature adopts a new system for establishing nursing 13 home payment rates beginning July 1, 2016. Any payments to nursing 14 homes for services provided after June 30, 2016, must be based on the 15 new system. The new system must be designed in such a manner as to 16 decrease administrative complexity associated with the payment 17 methodology, reward nursing homes providing care for high acuity 18 residents, incentivize quality care for residents of nursing homes, 19 and establish minimum staffing standards for direct care. 20 (2) The new system must be based primarily on industry-wide 21 costs, and have three main components: Direct care, indirect care, 22 and capital. 23 (3)(a) The direct care component must include the direct care and 24 therapy care components of the previous system, along with food, 25 laundry, and dietary services. ((Direct)) Except as provided in (b) 26 of this subsection, direct care must be paid at a fixed rate, based 27 on one hundred percent or greater of statewide case mix neutral 28 median costs, but ((for fiscal year 2023)) shall be capped so that a 29 nursing home provider's direct care rate does not exceed ((165)) 118 30 percent of its base year's direct care allowable costs except if the 31 provider is below the minimum staffing standard established in RCW 32 74.42.360(2). The legislature intends to remove the cap on direct 33 care rates by June 30, 2027. Direct care must be performance-adjusted 34 for acuity every six months, using case mix principles. Direct care 35 must be regionally adjusted using countywide wage index information 36 available through the United States department of labor's bureau of 37 labor statistics. There is no minimum occupancy for direct care. The 38 direct care component rate allocations calculated in accordance with 39 p. 1390 ESSB 5187.SL
this section must be adjusted to the extent necessary to comply with 1 RCW 74.46.421. 2 (b) Unless a nursing home provider is below the minimum staffing 3 standard established in RCW 74.42.360(2), a provider's direct care 4 rate relative to its base year's direct care allowable costs must be 5 capped as follows: For fiscal year 2023, the cap must not exceed 165 6 percent. 7 (4)(a) The indirect care component must include the elements of 8 administrative expenses, maintenance costs, and housekeeping services 9 from the previous system. ((A)) Except as provided in (b) of this 10 subsection, a minimum occupancy assumption of ninety percent must be 11 applied to indirect care((, except during fiscal year 2023 when the 12 minimum occupancy assumption must be 75 percent)). Indirect care must 13 be paid at a fixed rate, based on ninety percent or greater of 14 statewide median costs. The indirect care component rate allocations 15 calculated in accordance with this section must be adjusted to the 16 extent necessary to comply with RCW 74.46.421. 17 (b) A minimum occupancy assumption must be applied to indirect 18 care as follows: For fiscal year 2023, the assumption must be 75 19 percent. 20 (5) The capital component must use a fair market rental system to 21 set a price per bed. The capital component must be adjusted for the 22 age of the facility, and must use a minimum occupancy assumption of 23 ninety percent. 24 (a) Beginning July 1, 2016, the fair rental rate allocation for 25 each facility must be determined by multiplying the allowable nursing 26 home square footage in (c) of this subsection by the RSMeans rental 27 rate in (d) of this subsection and by the number of licensed beds 28 yielding the gross unadjusted building value. An equipment allowance 29 of ten percent must be added to the unadjusted building value. The 30 sum of the unadjusted building value and equipment allowance must 31 then be reduced by the average age of the facility as determined by 32 (e) of this subsection using a depreciation rate of one and one-half 33 percent. The depreciated building and equipment plus land valued at 34 ten percent of the gross unadjusted building value before 35 depreciation must then be multiplied by the rental rate at seven and 36 one-half percent to yield an allowable fair rental value for the 37 land, building, and equipment. 38 (b) The fair rental value determined in (a) of this subsection 39 must be divided by the greater of the actual total facility census 40 p. 1391 ESSB 5187.SL
from the prior full calendar year or imputed census based on the 1 number of licensed beds at ninety percent occupancy. 2 (c) For the rate year beginning July 1, 2016, all facilities must 3 be reimbursed using four hundred square feet. For the rate year 4 beginning July 1, 2017, allowable nursing facility square footage 5 must be determined using the total nursing facility square footage as 6 reported on the medicaid cost reports submitted to the department in 7 compliance with this chapter. The maximum allowable square feet per 8 bed may not exceed four hundred fifty. 9 (d) Each facility must be paid at eighty-three percent or greater 10 of the median nursing facility RSMeans construction index value per 11 square foot. The department may use updated RSMeans construction 12 index information when more recent square footage data becomes 13 available. The statewide value per square foot must be indexed based 14 on facility zip code by multiplying the statewide value per square 15 foot times the appropriate zip code based index. For the purpose of 16 implementing this section, the value per square foot effective July 17 1, 2016, must be set so that the weighted average fair rental value 18 rate is not less than ten dollars and eighty cents per patient day. 19 The capital component rate allocations calculated in accordance with 20 this section must be adjusted to the extent necessary to comply with 21 RCW 74.46.421. 22 (e) The average age is the actual facility age reduced for 23 significant renovations. Significant renovations are defined as those 24 renovations that exceed two thousand dollars per bed in a calendar 25 year as reported on the annual cost report submitted in accordance 26 with this chapter. For the rate beginning July 1, 2016, the 27 department shall use renovation data back to 1994 as submitted on 28 facility cost reports. Beginning July 1, 2016, facility ages must be 29 reduced in future years if the value of the renovation completed in 30 any year exceeds two thousand dollars times the number of licensed 31 beds. The cost of the renovation must be divided by the accumulated 32 depreciation per bed in the year of the renovation to determine the 33 equivalent number of new replacement beds. The new age for the 34 facility is a weighted average with the replacement bed equivalents 35 reflecting an age of zero and the existing licensed beds, minus the 36 new bed equivalents, reflecting their age in the year of the 37 renovation. At no time may the depreciated age be less than zero or 38 greater than forty-four years. 39 p. 1392 ESSB 5187.SL
(f) A nursing facility's capital component rate allocation must 1 be rebased annually, effective July 1, 2016, in accordance with this 2 section and this chapter. 3 (g) For the purposes of this subsection (5), "RSMeans" means 4 building construction costs data as published by Gordian. 5 (6) A quality incentive must be offered as a rate enhancement 6 beginning July 1, 2016. 7 (a) An enhancement no larger than five percent and no less than 8 one percent of the statewide average daily rate must be paid to 9 facilities that meet or exceed the standard established for the 10 quality incentive. All providers must have the opportunity to earn 11 the full quality incentive payment. 12 (b) The quality incentive component must be determined by 13 calculating an overall facility quality score composed of four to six 14 quality measures. For fiscal year 2017 there shall be four quality 15 measures, and for fiscal year 2018 there shall be six quality 16 measures. Initially, the quality incentive component must be based on 17 minimum data set quality measures for the percentage of long-stay 18 residents who self-report moderate to severe pain, the percentage of 19 high-risk long-stay residents with pressure ulcers, the percentage of 20 long-stay residents experiencing one or more falls with major injury, 21 and the percentage of long-stay residents with a urinary tract 22 infection. Quality measures must be reviewed on an annual basis by a 23 stakeholder work group established by the department. Upon review, 24 quality measures may be added or changed. The department may risk 25 adjust individual quality measures as it deems appropriate. 26 (c) The facility quality score must be point based, using at a 27 minimum the facility's most recent available three-quarter average 28 centers for medicare and medicaid services quality data. Point 29 thresholds for each quality measure must be established using the 30 corresponding statistical values for the quality measure point 31 determinants of eighty quality measure points, sixty quality measure 32 points, forty quality measure points, and twenty quality measure 33 points, identified in the most recent available five-star quality 34 rating system technical user's guide published by the centers for 35 medicare and medicaid services. 36 (d) Facilities meeting or exceeding the highest performance 37 threshold (top level) for a quality measure receive twenty-five 38 points. Facilities meeting the second highest performance threshold 39 receive twenty points. Facilities meeting the third level of 40 p. 1393 ESSB 5187.SL
performance threshold receive fifteen points. Facilities in the 1 bottom performance threshold level receive no points. Points from all 2 quality measures must then be summed into a single aggregate quality 3 score for each facility. 4 (e) Facilities receiving an aggregate quality score of eighty 5 percent of the overall available total score or higher must be placed 6 in the highest tier (tier V), facilities receiving an aggregate score 7 of between seventy and seventy-nine percent of the overall available 8 total score must be placed in the second highest tier (tier IV), 9 facilities receiving an aggregate score of between sixty and sixty- 10 nine percent of the overall available total score must be placed in 11 the third highest tier (tier III), facilities receiving an aggregate 12 score of between fifty and fifty-nine percent of the overall 13 available total score must be placed in the fourth highest tier (tier 14 II), and facilities receiving less than fifty percent of the overall 15 available total score must be placed in the lowest tier (tier I). 16 (f) The tier system must be used to determine the amount of each 17 facility's per patient day quality incentive component. The per 18 patient day quality incentive component for tier IV is seventy-five 19 percent of the per patient day quality incentive component for tier 20 V, the per patient day quality incentive component for tier III is 21 fifty percent of the per patient day quality incentive component for 22 tier V, and the per patient day quality incentive component for tier 23 II is twenty-five percent of the per patient day quality incentive 24 component for tier V. Facilities in tier I receive no quality 25 incentive component. 26 (g) Tier system payments must be set in a manner that ensures 27 that the entire biennial appropriation for the quality incentive 28 program is allocated. 29 (h) Facilities with insufficient three-quarter average centers 30 for medicare and medicaid services quality data must be assigned to 31 the tier corresponding to their five-star quality rating. Facilities 32 with a five-star quality rating must be assigned to the highest tier 33 (tier V) and facilities with a one-star quality rating must be 34 assigned to the lowest tier (tier I). The use of a facility's five- 35 star quality rating shall only occur in the case of insufficient 36 centers for medicare and medicaid services minimum data set 37 information. 38 (i) The quality incentive rates must be adjusted semiannually on 39 July 1 and January 1 of each year using, at a minimum, the most 40 p. 1394 ESSB 5187.SL
recent available three-quarter average centers for medicare and 1 medicaid services quality data. 2 (j) Beginning July 1, 2017, the percentage of short-stay 3 residents who newly received an antipsychotic medication must be 4 added as a quality measure. The department must determine the quality 5 incentive thresholds for this quality measure in a manner consistent 6 with those outlined in (b) through (h) of this subsection using the 7 centers for medicare and medicaid services quality data. 8 (k) Beginning July 1, 2017, the percentage of direct care staff 9 turnover must be added as a quality measure using the centers for 10 medicare and medicaid services' payroll-based journal and nursing 11 home facility payroll data. Turnover is defined as an employee 12 departure. The department must determine the quality incentive 13 thresholds for this quality measure using data from the centers for 14 medicare and medicaid services' payroll-based journal, unless such 15 data is not available, in which case the department shall use direct 16 care staffing turnover data from the most recent medicaid cost 17 report. 18 (7) Reimbursement of the safety net assessment imposed by chapter 19 74.48 RCW and paid in relation to medicaid residents must be 20 continued. 21 (8)(a) The direct care and indirect care components must be 22 rebased in even-numbered years, beginning with rates paid on July 1, 23 2016. Rates paid on July 1, 2016, must be based on the 2014 calendar 24 year cost report. On a percentage basis, after rebasing, the 25 department must confirm that the statewide average daily rate has 26 increased at least as much as the average rate of inflation, as 27 determined by the skilled nursing facility market basket index 28 published by the centers for medicare and medicaid services, or a 29 comparable index. If after rebasing, the percentage increase to the 30 statewide average daily rate is less than the average rate of 31 inflation for the same time period, the department is authorized to 32 increase rates by the difference between the percentage increase 33 after rebasing and the average rate of inflation. 34 (b) It is the intention of the legislature that direct and 35 indirect care rates paid in fiscal year 2022 will be rebased using 36 the calendar year 2019 cost reports. For fiscal year 2021, in 37 addition to the rates generated by (a) of this subsection, an 38 additional adjustment is provided as established in this subsection 39 (8)(b). Beginning May 1, 2020, and through June 30, 2021, the 40 p. 1395 ESSB 5187.SL
calendar year costs must be adjusted for inflation by a twenty-four 1 month consumer price index, based on the most recently available 2 monthly index for all urban consumers, as published by the bureau of 3 labor statistics. It is also the intent of the legislature that, 4 starting in fiscal year 2022, a facility-specific rate add-on equal 5 to the inflation adjustment that facilities received solely in fiscal 6 year 2021, must be added to the rate. 7 (c) To determine the necessity of regular inflationary 8 adjustments to the nursing facility rates, by December 1, 2020, the 9 department shall provide the appropriate policy and fiscal committees 10 of the legislature with a report that provides a review of rates paid 11 in 2017, 2018, and 2019 in comparison to costs incurred by nursing 12 facilities. 13 (9) The direct care component provided in subsection (3) of this 14 section is subject to the reconciliation and settlement process 15 provided in RCW 74.46.022(6). Beginning July 1, 2016, pursuant to 16 rules established by the department, funds that are received through 17 the reconciliation and settlement process provided in RCW 18 74.46.022(6) must be used for technical assistance, specialized 19 training, or an increase to the quality enhancement established in 20 subsection (6) of this section. The legislature intends to review the 21 utility of maintaining the reconciliation and settlement process 22 under a price-based payment methodology, and may discontinue the 23 reconciliation and settlement process after the 2017-2019 fiscal 24 biennium. 25 (10) Compared to the rate in effect June 30, 2016, including all 26 cost components and rate add-ons, no facility may receive a rate 27 reduction of more than one percent on July 1, 2016, more than two 28 percent on July 1, 2017, or more than five percent on July 1, 2018. 29 To ensure that the appropriation for nursing homes remains cost 30 neutral, the department is authorized to cap the rate increase for 31 facilities in fiscal years 2017, 2018, and 2019. 32 NEW SECTION. Sec. 1904. 2021 c 334 s 984 is repealed. 33 NEW SECTION. Sec. 1905. If any provision of this act or its 34 application to any person or circumstance is held invalid, the 35 remainder of the act or the application of the provision to other 36 persons or circumstances is not affected. 37 p. 1396 ESSB 5187.SL
NEW SECTION. Sec. 1906. This act is necessary for the immediate 1 preservation of the public peace, health, or safety, or support of 2 the state government and its existing public institutions, and takes 3 effect immediately. 4 p. 1397 ESSB 5187.SL
Passed by the Senate April 23, 2023. Passed by the House April 23, 2023. Approved by the Governor May 16, 2023, with the exception of certain items that were vetoed. Filed in Office of Secretary of State May 17, 2023.
Note: Governor's explanation of partial veto is as follows: "I am returning herewith, without my approval as to Sections 124(5), 129(80), 129(92), 132(20), 147(7), 153(8), 202(26), 207(2), 207(3), 211(31), 223(5)(a), 223(6)(e), 223(7)(b), 225(20), 228(17), 310(38), 729, 743, 1220(4), page 1105, line 39, page 1106, line 1, 1517(47)(o), 1612(3), 1708, 119(3), 308(36), and 215(110), Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill No. 5187 entitled: "AN ACT Relating to fiscal matters." Section 124(5), page 33, Office of the State Auditor, Special Education Performance Audit Engrossed Substitute House Bill 1436 (Section 2) directs the Office of the State Auditor to conduct a special education performance audit and access records as authorized representatives of the education authorities. I vetoed this section of ESHB 1436, and no audit will be conducted. Therefore, no funding is needed. For this reason, I have vetoed Section 124(5). Section 129(80), pages 73-74, Department of Commerce, Human Service Provider Contracts Work Group This section directs the Department of Commerce to convene a work group to examine expenses allowed in human service provider contracts in Washington state's local and state contracting processes. Because the funding in this proviso expires before the report is due and an inadequate amount was provided to complete this work, I have vetoed Section 129(80). Section 129(92), page 78, and Section 917, pages 663-665, Department of Commerce, Housing Supply and Affordability Task Force Section 917 creates a task force comprised of legislators, local elected officials, state agency representatives and stakeholders to identify strategies to increase the diversity and supply of affordable housing. This task force is co-chaired by legislators and will receive staff support from the Department of Commerce. As a legislative task force, staff support should be provided by legislative staff and not executive branch agency staff. In addition, the funding provided in Section 129(92) is insufficient to complete this work. For these reasons, I have vetoed both Sections 129(92) and 917. Section 132(20), pages 102-103, Department of Commerce and Utilities and Transportation Commission, Net Metering Work Group This section directs the Department of Commerce and the Utilities and Transportation Commission to convene a work group to study the future of net metering in Washington state. Because funding was not provided to do this work, I have vetoed Section 132(20). However, I am directing the department and the commission to request funding in the next budget to adequately support a work group for this purpose. Section 147(7), page 132, Utilities and Transportation Commission, Compensation Information p. 1398 ESSB 5187.SL
This section requires communication providers who receive a distribution pursuant to RCW 80.36.650 to provide detailed compensation information for their officers, directors and the five highest paid employees to the commission. This adds requirements to the underlying statute, and therefore, it should have been amended. This work is also unfunded. For these reasons, I have vetoed Section 147(7). Section 153(8), page 139, Department of Enterprise Services, Building Code Council Technical Advisory Group This section directs the State Building Code Council to convene a technical advisory group to evaluate the implementation and enforcement of laws, codes and rules related to smoke control and fire/smoke dampers and make recommendations for changes. The funding provided for this work is inadequate. For this reason, I have vetoed Section 153(8). Section 202(26), page 163, Department of Social & Health Services, Feasibility Study This section requires the agency to report on the feasibility of using the former Naselle Youth Camp facility to create additional forensic bed capacity for individuals in jails awaiting admission to the state hospitals who are class members of Trueblood, et al. v. Department of Social and Health Services, et al. This feasibility study is unfunded and duplicative of the Office of Financial Management task force that is created in Section 913 of this budget bill. For these reasons, I have vetoed Section 202(26). However, I am directing the OFM task force to consider the use of the Naselle Youth Camp for forensic bed capacity in its work. Sections 207(2) and 207(3), pages 206-207, Department of Social & Health Services, Community Notice and Consultation on Placement of Sexually Violent Predators These provisos are administratively burdensome for the Department of Social and Health Services Special Commitment Center program when siting Less Restrictive Alternatives in communities throughout the state. These additional administrative tasks will likely result in the delay and availability of placement options for individuals ordered by a court to be moved out of the McNeil Island facility. For this reason, I have vetoed Sections 207(2) and 207(3). Section 211(31), pages 222-224, Health Care Authority, Performance Measures and Per Capita Forecast Work Group This section requires the Health Care Authority to develop new managed care performance measures for calendar year 2025 in collaboration with the Medical Assistance Expenditure Forecast Work Group. Quality measure determination is not within the scope or expertise of this work group and would be better addressed by health care clinical and policy subject matter experts. For this reason, I have vetoed Section 221(31). Section 223(5)(a), page 352, and Section 223(6)(e), page 353, Department of Corrections, Discharge Planning Requirements These sections fund the expanded discharge planning requirements for the Department of Corrections in Second Substitute Senate Bill 5134. Sufficient funding was not provided for this purpose. Therefore, I have vetoed Sections 223(5)(a) and 223(6)(e). Section 223(7)(b), page 354, Department of Corrections, Restrictive Housing Health Evaluations p. 1399 ESSB 5187.SL
This section requires the Department of Corrections to conduct a mental and physical health medical evaluation on incarcerated persons who have been in restrictive housing and provide a report by June 30, 2024. Funding provided for this purpose is insufficient to evaluate all of the individuals required, and it is unclear that the information gathered would be useful. We are making consistent investments to reduce the use of restrictive housing in Washington prisons and alleviate its known negative impacts. For these reasons, I have vetoed Section 223(7)(b). Section 225(20), pages 360-361, Employment Security Department, Washington Cares Program The Employment Security Department and the Department of Social and Health Services collaborate on communications and outreach efforts of the Washington Cares program. The requirements in this section are redundant to the collaboration already occurring and required in RCW 50B.04.020(6). It is also unclear which agency has final approval authority on employer communications related to the program. For these reasons, I have vetoed Section 225(20). However, I am directing the Employment Security Department to continue collaborating with the agencies involved in the Washington Cares program on external communications of the program to ensure consistent and agreed upon messaging is provided to employers and Washingtonians. Section 228(17), page 380, Department of Children, Youth, and Families, SSB 5672 This section provides funding for Substitute Senate Bill 5672 that did not pass the Legislature. For this reason, I have vetoed Section 228(17). Section 310(38), pages 446-447, Department of Natural Resources, Lease Approval Requirement This section requires the Department of Natural Resources to seek approval for nearly all new leases or existing lease renewals from the Board of Natural Resources (Board). This would require the Board to review and approve hundreds of state trust land, forestland, upland and aquatic land leases every month. The Board also does not have legal oversight of state aquatic lands and leases entered into by the department. In addition, the funding provided for this work is insufficient and would result in delays for the agency, the Board, and lessees, as well as a loss of revenue for trust beneficiaries and aquatic accounts that serve as a funding source for other agencies. For these reasons, I have vetoed Section 310(38). Section 729, pages 630-631, Office of Financial Management, Lease Cost Pool The lease cost pool is an ineffective approach to managing lease costs and is redundant to the existing modified pre-design process that reviews space needs and budgets. For these reasons, I have vetoed Section 729. Section 743, pages 635-638, Office of Financial Management, Office Space Use Reductions This section refers to outdated data for leases that have already been renewed. For this reason, I have vetoed Section 743. However, I am directing the Office of Financial Management, in collaboration with the Department of Enterprise Services, to identify expiring leased office space that can be reduced. Funds saved will be moved to reserve status. p. 1400 ESSB 5187.SL
Section 1220(4), Page 1105, line 39, and page 1106, line 1, Department of Corrections, General Fund-State Appropriation (FY 2023) The 2023 supplemental budget provisos over $17 million for the Department of Corrections to pay for COVID-19 expenditures from fiscal year 2021 that were expected to be paid with federal funds. However, the Legislature did not provide additional funding. The department does not anticipate having this much available in its base budget at the end of the fiscal year. Section 1220(4) includes an $8.4 million reduction tied to lower caseloads that can be restored to provide the agency with the funding it needs to close the fiscal year. For this reason, I have vetoed the change to the fiscal year 2023 General Fund-State appropriation in Section 1220(4). Section 1517(47)(o), page 1305, Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction, ESSER Federal Funding This section reduces the appropriation of Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) III funding for the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction. This reduction in funding includes fiscal years 2021, 2022 and 2023. A portion of this funding is within closed fiscal years and can no longer have changes in appropriation. For this reason, I have vetoed Section 1517(47)(o). However, I am asking OSPI to prioritize spending down ESSER II before ESSER III to ensure that all federal funding is spent prior to its expiration date. Section 1612(3), pages 1372-1373, Arts Commission, Coronavirus State Fiscal Recovery Proviso This section amends the appropriation for a closed fiscal year and cannot be legally implemented. Therefore, I have vetoed Section 1612(3). Section 1708, pages 1378-1380, Office of Financial Management, Office Space Use Reductions This section requires agencies to reduce leased office space in the current biennium. Agencies do not have time to complete this work. In addition, the section refers to outdated data for many leases that have already been renewed and for which the space cannot be reduced. For these reasons, I have vetoed Section 1708. The following sections provide funding to agencies to implement bills which did not pass the Legislature. Because the funding has lapsed, I have vetoed Section 119(3), Section 308(36), and Section 215(110). Section 119(3), page 23, Public Disclosure Commission, ESSB 5284, Campaign Finance Disclosure Section 308(36), page 433, Department of Fish & Wildlife, 2SHB 1010, Sanitary Control of Shellfish Section 215(110), page 290, Health Care Authority, HB 1681, Problem Gambling For these reasons I have vetoed Sections 124(5), 129(80), 129(92), 132(20), 147(7), 153(8), 202(26), 207(2), 207(3), 211(31), 223(5)(a), 223(6)(e), 223(7)(b), 225(20), 228(17), 310(38), 729, 743, 1220(4), page 1105, line 39, page 1106, line 1, 1517(47)(o), 1612(3), 1708, 119(3), 308(36), and 215(110) of Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill No. 5187. With the exception of Sections 124(5), 129(80), 129(92), 132(20), 147(7), 153(8), 202(26), 207(2), 207(3), 211(31), 223(5)(a), 223(6)(e), 223(7)(b), 225(20), 228(17), 310(38), 729, 743, 1220(4), p. 1401 ESSB 5187.SL
page 1105, line 39, page 1106, line 1, 1517(47)(o), 1612(3), 1708, 119(3), 308(36), and 215(110), Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill No. 5187 is approved." (End of Bill) p. 1402 ESSB 5187.SL
