"[SCHOOL
RESOURCE OFFICERS]
Section 334.
(a) For
the period commencing July 1, 2014, and ending June 30, 2016, one million six
hundred thousand dollars ($1,600,000.00) 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 a 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

all persons described under 42 U.S.C. § 1396a(a)(10)(A)(i)(VIII), subject to
the following:
(i) The waiver
shall be limited to a maximum period of three (3) years without additional
legislative authorization and shall not be administered during any period in
which the federal medical assistance percentage, as currently provided pursuant
to 42 U.S.C. § 1396d(y), is less than ninety percent (90%);

shall include premium assistance for eligible higher income individuals to
enable their enrollment in a qualified health plan through the health insurance

(iii) The program
shall include cost sharing as authorized under federal law and regulations for
eligible moderate income individuals;

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;
(v) 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
article 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;

(133%) of the federal poverty level, calculated as provided in the Patient Protection
and Affordable Care Act, P.L. 111-148;
(viii) Initial
and continuing income eligibility standards shall be structured to avoid
creating a disincentive for a beneficiary to increase that beneficiary's
household income.
(c) In
negotiating the waiver pursuant to this section, the department 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;
(iii) 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;
(iv) 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;
(v) 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.
(d) The healthcare reserve account is created and
shall consist of monies appropriated but unspent as a result of Medicaid
expansion under this footnote. The monies shall be identified by the directors
of affected agencies. Identified funds shall be transferred to the account pursuant to the governor's

"[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.".
