2009-A163 - Summary

2009-A163 - Sponsor Memo

                                BILL NUMBER:A163

TITLE OF BILL:
An act to amend chapter 50 of the laws of 2008, enacting the public
protection and general government budget; to amend chapter 53 of the
laws of 2008, enacting the education, labor and family assistance budg-
et; to amend chapter 54 of the laws of 2008, enacting the health and
mental hygiene budget; and to amend chapter 55 of the laws of 2008,
enacting the transportation, economic development and environmental
conservation budget, in relation to the support of state government

PURPOSE:
This bill would amend the enacted 2008-09 Budget appropriation bills, as
amended this past August, to effect savings proposed by the Governor to
address the multi-year Financial Plan gap and respond to the worsening
national economic conditions faced by the State. Other bills being
proposed in concert with this legislation would make non-appropriation
statutory changes needed to implement the proposed savings.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Effective immediately upon enactment, this bill makes the following
changes to appropriations highlighted as follows:

* Reduces appropriations for Local Government Efficiency Grants and
Efficiency Incentive Grants by amounts that will honor existing grant
awards in full, but reduce funding for new grants by 50 percent and

limit Local Government Efficiency Grant administrative expenses to
$500,000, generating savings of $1.7 million in 2008-09 and $13.6
million in 2009-10;

* Reduces 2008-09 funding for arts grants by $7 million;

* Increases 2008-09 General Fund support by $12 million to accommodate
greater Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) spending that will result from
State University of New York (SUNY) tuition rate increases;

* Increases 2008-09 tuition revenue offset appropriations for SUNY by
$76 million and reduces General Fund support for SUNY by $68 million,
reflecting resident tuition rate increases of 14 percent;

* Reduces 2008-09 General Fund support by $11 million for SUNY Community
College base operating aid and $4 million for CUNY Community College
base operating aid;

* Achieves over $70 million in savings in Medicaid and certain other
Health programs and offsetting HCRA revenues (other statutory changes
needed to produce this savings are proposed in a separate bill);

* Achieves $1 million in 2008-09 savings by delaying implementation of
slots for the foster care Bridges to Health Medicaid Waiver program
until 2011-12;

* Reduces appropriations for Mental Hygiene-related purposes by elimi-
nating enriched Unified Services funding for certain counties and lower-
ing funding to the NYC Department of Education for prevention services
that are not predicated upon evidence-based practices;

* Reduces 2008-09 funding for new and enhanced legislative programs by a
cumulative total of 50 percent in 2008-09 and 2009-10;

* Reduces the 2008-09 Human Services Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) by
one percentage point for certain programs administered by the Department
of Health, Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services, Office of
Children and Family Services, Office of Mental Health, Office of Mental
Retardation and Developmental Disabilities, and State Office for the
Aging;

* Reduces 2008-09 General Fund Local Assistance for various economic
development initiatives by $8.5 million;

* Reduces 2008-09 Environmental Protection Fund appropriations by $50
million in various categories relating to Open Space, Solid Waste and
Parks and Recreation;

* Achieves $2 million in 2008-09 savings by reducing appropriations for
the Neighborhood Preservation Program and the Rural Preservation
Program;

* Achieves $3 million in 2008-09 savings by eliminating the operating
subsidy for the New York City Housing Authority;

* Achieves $25 million in 2008-09 Financial Plan relief by creating
three new bonded capital appropriations for affordable housing programs
that were previously supported on a pay-as-you-go basis;

* Shifts the funding for Timothy's Law and various Department of Health
programs from the General Fund to the Insurance Department's industry
assessment;

* Achieves $3 million in 2008-09 savings by eliminating a one-time
appropriation from 2007-08 for diesel emissions reduction costs; and

* Achieves $1.1 million in 2008-09 savings by eliminating a one-time
2008-09 appropriation for multi-modal projects;

STATEMENT IN SUPPORT:
The Financial Plan savings resulting from this bill are part of the
package of savings options proposed to help close the gap and to help
ensure that the current year's budget remains in balance if economic
conditions deteriorate further.

BUDGETARY IMPLICATIONS:
In combination with other legislation that proposes statutory changes
and fund transfers, this bill would produce the savings noted above.

These savings would substantially reduce the current 2008-09 and 2009-10
projected and beyond.

  by  the  office.  Each  authorized  agency
  operating  a  congregate  care  or  foster
  boarding  home  program  in New York state
  for which the office sets a maximum  state
  aid  rate pursuant to section 398-a of the

  identified herein that are otherwise reim-
  bursable  by  the state from April 1, 2008
  through March 31, 2009 shall be limited to
  a   district    allocation,    hereinafter

  allocation.  Notwithstanding   any   other
  provision  of  law, such block grant allo-
  cation shall be based, in  part,  on  each

  for  the  12  month period ending June 30,
  2007 that are submitted on or before Janu-
  ary 2, 2008 and, in part,  on  such  other
  factors  as  determined  by  the office of
  children and family services and  approved
  by the director of the budget. Any portion
  of a social services district's allocation
  from funds appropriated herein not claimed
  by  such  district during the state fiscal
  year may be  used  by  such  district  for
  expenditures    on   preventive   services
  provided pursuant to section 409-a of  the
  social  services  law,  independent living
  services and aftercare  services  provided
  pursuant  to regulations of the department
  of  family  assistance,  claimed  by  such
  district during the next state fiscal year
  up   to  the  amount  remaining  from  the
  district's foster care block  grant  allo-
  cation,  provided however, that any claims
  for such services during  the  next  state
  fiscal year in excess of such amount shall
  be  subject  to  98  PERCENT OF 65 percent
  state  reimbursement  exclusive   of   any
  federal  funds  made  available  for  such
  purposes, in accordance with directives of
  the department of  family  assistance  and
  subject to the approval of the director of
  the  budget.  Any  claims  submitted  by a
  social services district for reimbursement
  for a particular  state  fiscal  year  for
  which  the  social  services district does
  not receive state or federal reimbursement
  during that state fiscal year may  not  be
  claimed   against  that  district's  block
  grant apportionment  for  the  next  state
  fiscal year.
The  office of children and family services,
  with the approval of the director  of  the
  budget,  may  reduce  a  district's  block
  grant  allocation  by  the   state   share
  decrease  related  to  federal retroactive
  reimbursement   for   such   foster   care
  services  identified  herein.  The office,

  grant allocation by  the  state  share  of

  document eligibility for federal or  state
  funds in the case record; provided, howev-
  er,  if  the  office  determines  that any
  federal disallowance for services provided
  between January 1, 1999 and May  31,  1999
  results  solely from the late enactment of
  the  state  legislation  implementing  the
  federal  adoption  and  safe families act,
  the state shall be solely responsible  for
  the  full  amount  of  the disallowance or
  sanction; provided, further, however, this
  provision shall be deemed  to  apply  both
  prospectively and retroactively regardless
  of whether such sanctions or disallowances
  are  for  services provided or claims made
  prior to or after April 1, 2008.
Notwithstanding any other provision of  law,
  any  federal disallowance resulting from a
  federal title IV-E eligibility  review  or
  audit  that  uses  extrapolated  statistic
  techniques shall be passed  along  by  the
  state  to  any  and  all  social  services
  districts that the office of children  and
  family  services  has  determined have not
  complied with the title  IV-E  eligibility
  requirements  or have not taken the neces-
  sary actions  to  ensure  compliance  with
  such   requirements   including,  but  not
  limited to, failing to: assess  and  fully
  document all the criteria and have readily
  available  all  the necessary documents to
  establish and continue title  IV-E  eligi-
  bility  for  all title IV-E eligible chil-
  dren  within  the  required  time  frames;
  claim  title  IV-E  funding only for cases
  that meet all of the title IV-E  eligibil-
  ity  criteria;  and  fully  implement  the
  social  services  payment  system  on   or
  before  April  1,  2005 for all direct and
  voluntary agency foster care services.
Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, the
  office of  children  and  family  services
  shall  impose on social services districts
  any federal  disallowance  issued  against
  the  state  as a result of a federal title

S. 250                             16                             A. 163

  IV-E secondary eligibility review  regard-
  less  of  the  date  the children may have
  entered foster care, the date  the  eligi-
  bility  or payment errors occurred, or the
  filing date  of  any  federal  claims  for
  reimbursement; provided, however, that the
  state  shall be responsible for the disal-
  lowed costs and  expenditures  related  to
  the  placement  of  children in a facility
  operated by the  office  of  children  and
  family services, which shall be determined
  in the same manner as the disallowed costs
  and   expenditures   for  social  services
  districts other than the city of New York.
  In order to reimburse the federal  govern-
  ment  for the full amount of any disallow-
  ance imposed on the state by  the  federal
  administration  for  children and families
  within the timeframes necessary  to  avoid
  any  potential  interest  payments on such
  amount, the office of children and  family
  services   is  authorized  to  immediately
  offset  funds  otherwise   due   to   each
  district for a pro rata share of the total
  disallowed  costs  based on the percentage
  of applicable federal  title  IV-E  claims
  made  by  that  district  for the relevant
  time  period  as  compared  to  the  total
  applicable  statewide  title  IV-E claims.
  The amount  of  the  offset  against  each
  district  will  be adjusted, if necessary,
  upon completion of the disallowance  allo-
  cation  process.  The  final allocation of
  the amount  of  any  federal  disallowance
  resulting  from  a  title  IV-E  secondary
  eligibility  review  shall  be   allocated
  among  the districts so that each district
  shall  be  responsible  for   the   amount
  attributable  to  each  of  the district's
  children or cases that are  determined  by
  the federal review to be unallowable. Each
  district  shall  also be responsible for a
  portion of the federal extrapolated disal-
  lowance amount based on the relative error
  rate for the district.   The city  of  New
  York's  error  rate  will  be based on the
  federal sample and federal statistics. For
  all social services districts  other  than
  the  city of New York, the error rate will
  be based on  a  review  conducted  by  the
  district  of  a  sample of children and/or
  cases determined by the office of children
  and family services and a re-review  of  a
  sub-sample by the office of those children
  and/or cases determined by the office. The
  office  of  children  and  family services

S. 250                             17                             A. 163

  will  determine  what  is  reasonable   in
  establishing  the  size  of the sample and
  sub-sample for each district.  The  office
  of  children  and  family  services  shall
  notify each social  services  district  of
  the  sample  of children and/or cases from
  the federal audit period that  the  social
  services  district  must review. Any child
  or case from the social services  district
  that  was  included  in the federal sample
  will  automatically  be  included  in  the
  social  services  district's review sample
  and the determination made at the  federal
  review  regarding  that child or case will
  govern for  the  purposes  of  the  social
  services  district's  review.  The  social
  services district must complete and submit
  the results of its review to the office of
  children and  family  services  within  60
  days  of receipt of the sample.  The error
  rate for the district will be based on the
  findings of the district's review and  the
  office  of  children  and family services'
  re-review. If a social  services  district
  does  not  complete  its  review within 60
  days of  receiving  the  sample  from  the
  office  of  children  and family services,
  the office of children and family services
  shall assign an error rate to  the  social
  services  district  based  on the relative
  percentage of  the  district's  applicable
  title  IV-E claims for the relevant period
  as compared to applicable statewide  title
  IV-E  claims  for  that  period  and other
  circumstances that the office of  children
  and  family services may consider in order
  to allocate 100  percent  of  the  federal
  disallowance.  The  office of children and
  family services shall  apply  each  social
  services  district's  error  rate  to  the
  total amount of the district's  applicable
  title  IV-E  claims  including  associated
  administrative  expenses.  The   resulting
  dollar  amounts  for  all  of  the  social
  services  districts  will  be  summed   to
  derive  the  total  amount  of  title IV-E
  claims deemed to be in error statewide. To
  establish a  disallowance  percentage  for
  each  social services district, the amount
  of the district's title IV-E claims deemed
  to be in error  will  be  divided  by  the
  amount  of  statewide  title  IV-E  claims
  deemed  to  be  in  error.  The  resulting
  disallowance  percentage for each district
  will be applied to the entire  title  IV-E
  extrapolated  disallowance  calculated  by

S. 250                             18                             A. 163

  the federal review to determine the amount
  of the extrapolated disallowance for which
  the district is responsible. Each district
  will  be  credited  for the amount already
  disallowed for any individual children  or
  cases  found  to  be  in  error during the
  federal  review.  The   exclusive   appeal
  rights for the review of the amount of the
  federal   disallowance  assigned  to  each
  social services district shall be pursuant
  to article 78 of the civil  practice  laws
  and  rules; provided, however, that in any
  such action all  of  the  social  services
  districts  shall  be  joined  as necessary
  parties and the venue of any  such  action
  shall  be in Rensselaer county. Any social
  services district that fails  to  complete
  its  sample  review  in  the required time
  frames shall have no right to  appeal  and
  shall  not  be  a  necessary  party to any
  action brought by another social  services
  district.
