Amend CSSB 1 by adding the following rider after the Article II appropriations to the Health and Human Services Commission: ____. Fiscal Accountability for Programs for Persons With Mental Retardation. It is the intent of the legislature that the executive commissioner of the Health and Human Services Commission adopt rules that prohibit the commission from enforcing minimum spending thresholds currently contained in the fiscal accountability requirements beginning with the 2008 cost reports for the intermediate care facilities for persons with mental retardation and home and community-based services waiver programs. The 2007 cost reports will continue to have minimum spending thresholds currently contained in the fiscal accountability spending requirements applied. If before implementing this provision the commission determines that a waiver or authorization from a federal agency is necessary for implementation of the provision, the commission shall request the waiver or authorization and may delay implementing the provision until the waiver or authorization is granted.
