"[SCHOOL
RESOURCE OFFICERS]
Section 334.
(a) For
the period commencing July 1, 2014, and ending June 30, 2016, three million two
hundred thousand dollars ($3,200,000.00) is appropriated from the school
foundation program account to the department of education to provide assistance
to school districts for the acquisition of school resource officers for
enhancing the protection and safety of students, faculty and staff attending or
employed within the schools of the district.
Assistance shall be predicated upon promoting community and cost sharing
in addressing school safety and security, and shall be prioritized among school
districts as follows:
(i) School
districts not employing school resource officers during the school year
immediately preceding that school year for which financial assistance
application is submitted;
(ii) School
districts comprised of rural schools located outside of population centers that
would experience a reduced response time through the employment of a school
resource officer;
(iii) School
districts entering into agreements with local law enforcement agencies and
other school districts in sharing school safety and security costs;
(iv) School
districts using any financial assistance received under this section to
supplement existing school resource officers employed by the district to
increase daily school resource officer contacts within its schools.
(b) Each
school district may apply to the department of education for financial
assistance under this section on or before May 15 of the school year
immediately preceding the school year for which application is submitted. Application shall be on a form and in a
manner prescribed by the department and assistance shall be based upon prior
school year attendance reports.
Application review shall be in accordance with a process established by
department rule and regulation and shall at minimum, require the following
documentation:
(i) The
district's safety and security plan, identifying how the district would deploy
financial assistance under this section, including a description of the duties
which would be assigned to the school resource officer, describing the impact
of the program on school operations and assurance that local law enforcement is
included within its safety and security plan and that local law enforcement
agencies provide respective safety and security plans to the district;
(ii) Assurance
that the district would restrict expenditures of financial assistance to the
costs of employing school resource officers and to safety and security
equipment approved by the department as necessary to execute its safety and
security plan;
(iii) A
report of any federal funds available to the applicant district for the costs
of employing school resource officers or security aides within its schools.
(c) On
or before July 1 following the date of application, the department shall notify
each district of its eligibility to receive financial assistance, together with
an estimate of the amount of assistance the eligible district would receive for
the school year of application. The
department shall distribute assistance under this section to each eligible
district on or before August 1 of the appropriate school year.
(d) Financial
assistance under this section shall be based upon prior year attendance reports
submitted by each eligible school district pursuant to W.S. 21‑13‑309(m)(iv). The amount of assistance shall be computed by
the department for the eligible applicant district as if the education resource
block grant model contained a component for school resource officers generating
one (1) FTE position for a total district ADM of one thousand (1,000) or less,
and one (1) additional FTE position for each additional one thousand (1,000)
district ADM thereafter. The FTE
positions shall be funded at a salary equal to forty-nine thousand five hundred
dollars ($49,500.00) per school year, adjusted for regional cost differences as
determined for each district under W.S. 21‑13‑309(m)(v)(C), but not
adjusted for any other compensation related benefit. The amount received under this subsection
shall also be reduced by all federal funds received by the school district for
the purpose of funding salaries for school resource officers. Each FTE position
generated under this subsection above the first FTE shall be prorated up and
down from the FTE position level specified for each district similar to computational
operation of other components within the block grant model. "FTE" and "ADM" as used
in this section shall be as defined in ATTACHMENT "A", as referenced
in W.S. 21‑13‑101(a)(xvii).
(e) Financial
assistance to each qualifying applicant school district shall be made by the
department from the amount appropriated under this section and shall be in
addition to the foundation program amount computed for that district under W.S.
21‑13‑309(p). District
expenditures of amounts distributed under this section shall be solely for
district security resource officers in accordance with the safety and security
plan submitted by the district under subsection (b) of this section, and for
necessary safety and security equipment approved by the department. The department may withhold or request
repayment of a portion or the entire amount to be distributed to any district
under this section for noncompliance with program documentation required to be
submitted by the applicant district. Any appropriated amounts not expended or
encumbered under this section as of June 30, 2016, including any amounts
distributed to districts which are not spent by June 30, 2016, shall revert to
the foundation program account.
(f) Each
district shall report to the department of education on expenditures of amounts
distributed under this section, together with additional information required
by the department on the use of school resource officers and an evaluation of
the impact of these officers and the use of any safety and security equipment
procured from the financial assistance received under this section, on the
effectiveness of the district's school safety and security programs as
documented by data. The department shall
compile the information reported by districts under this subsection and on or
before October 1, 2015, and again on or before October 1, 2016, report the
compilation to the joint education interim committee.
(g) Information
reported under subsection (f) of this section, together with other available
data and resources, shall be used by the joint education interim committee in
undertaking recalibration of the education resource block grant model pursuant
to W.S. 21‑13‑309(t).
(h) This section is effective immediately.".

"[MEDICAID
EXPANSION]
Section 334.
(a) The director
of the department of health, the insurance commissioner and the governor shall
negotiate with the center for Medicare and Medicaid services for a
demonstration waiver to provide Medicaid coverage for all persons described
under 42 U.S.C. § 1396a(a)(10)(A)(i)(VIII), subject to the following:
(i) No agency or
person on behalf of the state shall commit the state of Wyoming to any
expansion of Medicaid made optional as a result of the United States Supreme
Court decision in Nat. Fedn. of Indep.
Business v. Sebelius, 132 S. Ct. 2566 (U.S. 2012), until approved by the
legislature during its 2015 general session;
(ii) The
department shall submit the terms of the proposed waiver to the joint
appropriations interim committee and the joint labor, health and social
services interim committee by November 1, 2014 or as soon as practicable after
that date;
(iii) The waiver
shall be limited to the period of time during which the federal medical
assistance percentage for the expansion population is ninety-five percent (95%)
or greater;
(iv) The program
shall include premium assistance for eligible higher income individuals to
enable their enrollment in a qualified health plan through the health insurance
exchange or an employer sponsored group plan;
(v) The program
shall include cost sharing as authorized under federal law and regulations for
eligible moderate income individuals;
(vi) The program
shall include for eligible lower income individuals the same benefits with the
same restrictions as provided those persons who would be eligible for Medicaid
without regard to the expansion of eligibility authorized by the Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act, P.L. 111-148;
(vii) The program
shall provide for state general fund cost neutrality, which for purposes of
this paragraph means that the average cost of care for recipients under this
section is reasonably estimated to not exceed the average cost of care provided
to similar recipients under the traditional Medicaid program and provides the
maximum realized financial benefit to the state;
(viii) Premiums
shall not exceed two percent (2%) of annual income for beneficiaries whose
income is less than or equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the federal
poverty level;
(ix) Maximum
annual out-of-pocket expense shall not exceed limits applicable to health
insurance policies obtained through the federally operated health insurance
exchange in Wyoming by individuals whose income is greater than one hundred
percent (100%) and less than or equal to one hundred thirty-three percent
(133%) of the federal poverty level, calculated as provided in the Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act, P.L. 111-148;
(x) Initial and
continuing income eligibility standards shall be structured to avoid creating a
disincentive for a beneficiary to increase that beneficiary's household income.
(b) In
negotiating the waiver pursuant to this section, the department, the
commissioner and the governor shall consider whether the waiver shall include:
(i) Provision of
wellness benefits and waiver of co-pay or deductible provisions for wellness
benefits;
(ii) Cost sharing
incentives for beneficiaries who attain or maintain specified uniform standards
of healthy behaviors, including, at a minimum, completion of an approved annual
health risk assessment to identify unhealthy characteristics such as alcohol or
substance disorders, tobacco use, obesity and immunization deficiencies;
(iii) Accounts similar to a health savings account
or medical savings accounts for nonaged, nondisabled eligible beneficiaries. The
accounts shall allow a participant to purchase cost effective high
deductible health insurance and promote independence and self-sufficiency;
(iv) An option for beneficiaries
to remain in the program with the same benefit and financing structure even if
the beneficiary's household income drops below one hundred percent (100%) of
the federal poverty level.
(c) The healthcare reserve account is created and
shall consist of monies appropriated but unspent as a result of Medicaid
expansion. The monies shall be identified by the directors of affected
agencies. Identified funds
shall be transferred to the account pursuant to the governor's authority under
W.S. 9‑2‑1005(b)(ii). Funds in the account shall not be expended
without further legislative enactment.
(d) This section
is effective immediately.".

The
Honorable Tom Lubnau
Speaker
of the House
Wyoming
House of Representatives
State
Capitol Building
Cheyenne,
WY 82002
Dear
Speaker Lubnau,
The budget is sound – it maintains our goal of
reversing the steep upward trajectory of the last decade and remaining
essentially flat. At the same time, the
budget invests in Wyoming’s future with $175 million to local governments. The existing formula for distribution gives
local governments the ability to invest in cities, towns and counties and
provides predictability.
Both the Legislature and I have focused on measures
to maintain Wyoming’s strong economy today and to position us well for the future. We have focused on investment intended to
diversify and strengthen economic drivers including $15.7 million for the
unified network, $50 million for large business recruitment, $15 million for an
integrated carbon capture test center and $226 million for capital
construction. These efforts have direct
benefit to education, jobs, healthy communities and future opportunity.
In looking to diversify, we must continue to pay
attention to those industries that not only shaped our state but remain the
bedrock of our current success. These
industries are agriculture, natural resources (coal, oil, natural gas, uranium,
trona and others) and tourism. In
support of these industries, this budget includes funding for predator control,
the wildlife trust fund, brucellosis, the energy strategy, international market
development for Wyoming products and new tourism marketing efforts. Importantly, this budget also recognizes the
contributions of the University of Wyoming, community colleges and state
employees providing compensation increases that focus on the value of a
competent workforce and recognize high performance. Health programs such as medical homes, 2-1-1,
reduction of the developmental disability waitlist and evaluation funding
availability are likewise addressed.
While I am pleased with the budget, there are some
areas where I have, after consultation with legislators, exercised my line item
veto. In some instances, this was
necessary to correct an unintended consequence or to provide necessary flexibility.
Vetoes in the Department of Education, Game and Fish
capital construction, the strategic investments and projects account (Section
300) and prior fire season appropriations (Section 303) were, in my mind,
needed to enable flexibility in the use of the appropriated funds. I vetoed Limitation on Salary Increases
(Section 323) for much the same reason and I believe the objective can be
accomplished without the footnote.
I have also made two vetoes that moved money from
other accounts into the General Fund.
Section 300 moves money from the strategic investments and projects
account back into the General Fund and Section 337 appropriates funds
designated for local capital construction into the General Fund. These shifts were not necessary to balance the
budget and I believe my veto eliminates any confusion.
I vetoed language in two footnotes in the Office of
State Lands and Investments budget out of concern the budget provisions were
legislative in nature and did not belong in the budget bill.
I am vetoing language in Section 329 (e) and in
Section 334 (d)(iv) and (d)(v) which I believe will enable the task forces to
work more efficiently and effectively toward the goal of providing reports and
recommendations.
Sincerely,
Matthew H. Mead
Governor
