PART AAA

Sec. AAA-1. 5 MRSA §1582, sub-§4, as amended by PL 2011, c. 1, Pt. S, §1, is further amended to read:

4. Use of savings; personal services funds. Savings accrued from unused funding of employee benefits may not be used to increase services provided by employees. Accrued salary savings generated within an appropriation or allocation for Personal Services may be used for the payment of nonrecurring Personal Services costs only within the account where the savings exist. Accrued savings generated from vacant positions within a General Fund account's appropriation for Personal Services may be used to offset Personal Services shortfalls in other General Fund accounts that occur as a direct result of Personal Services appropriation reductions for projected vacancies, and accrued savings generated within a Highway Fund account's allocations for Personal Services may be used to offset Personal Services shortfalls in other Highway Fund accounts that occur as a direct result of Personal Services allocation reductions for projected vacancies; except that the transfer of such accrued savings is subject to review by the joint standing committee of the Legislature having jurisdiction over appropriations and financial affairs. Costs related to acting capacity appointments and emergency, unbudgeted overtime for which it is impractical to budget in advance may be used with the approval of the appointing authority. Other actions such as retroactive compensation for reclassifications or reallocations and retroactive or one-time settlements related to arbitrator or court decisions must be recommended by the department or agency head and approved by the State Budget Officer. Salary and employee benefits savings may not be used to fund recurring Personal Services actions either in the account where the savings exist or in another account. At the close of each fiscal year, except for the Division of Forest Protection account within the Department of Conservation, the Disproportionate Share - Riverview Psychiatric Center and the Disproportionate Share - Dorothea Dix Psychiatric Center accounts within the Department of Health and Human Services and the Education in the Unorganized Territory account within the Department of Education, any unexpended General Fund Personal Services appropriations to executive branch agencies including accounts that are authorized to carry unexpended balances forward must lapse to the Salary Plan program, General Fund account in the Department of Administrative and Financial Services.

Sec. AAA-2. 34-B MRSA §1409, sub-§9, ¶A, as enacted by PL 1983, c. 459, §7, is amended to read:

A. The chief administrative officer shall apply the benefits toward deposit any such funding received for the care and treatment of the resident in accordance with charges made by the department as General Fund undedicated revenue.

Sec. AAA-3. 34-B MRSA §1409, sub-§13, as amended by PL 2005, c. 256, §4, is repealed.

Sec. AAA-4. 34-B MRSA §1409, sub-§14, as enacted by PL 1991, c. 528, Pt. Q, §6 and affected by Pt. RRR and enacted by c. 591, Pt. Q, §6 and amended by PL 2005, c. 236, §3, is repealed.

Sec. AAA-5. 34-B MRSA §1409, sub-§15, as amended by PL 2011, c. 1, Pt. S, §2, is further amended to read:

15. General Fund accounts; disproportionate share hospital match. The commissioner shall establish General Fund accounts to provide the General Fund match for eligible disproportionate share hospital components in for the care and treatment of residents of the Riverview Psychiatric Center and the Dorothea Dix Psychiatric Center. Any unencumbered balances of General Fund appropriations remaining at the end of each fiscal year must be carried forward to be used for the same purposes. Available unencumbered balances at the end of each fiscal year in the Personal Services line category of the accounts may be transferred to the All Other line category by financial order upon the recommendation of the State Budget Officer and approval of the Governor. Reimbursement received from the Medicaid program for disproportionate share hospital match must be deposited in the General Fund as undedicated revenue.

Sec. AAA-6. Department of Health and Human Services; state psychiatric centers; transfers and adjustments to position count. The Commissioner of Health and Human Services shall review the current organizational structure of the State's psychiatric centers to improve organizational efficiency and cost-effectiveness within the centers. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the State Budget Officer is authorized to transfer position counts and available balances by financial order in order to achieve the purposes of this section. In accordance with the requirements of the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 5, section 1585, a financial order describing such a transfer must be submitted by the Department of Administrative and Financial Services, Bureau of the Budget to the Office of Fiscal and Program Review 30 days before a transfer is to be implemented. In the case of extraordinary emergency transfers, the 30-day prior submission requirement may be waived by vote of the joint standing committee of the Legislature having jurisdiction over appropriations and financial affairs. Any transfer or adjustment pursuant to this section that would result in a program or mission change must be reported to the joint standing committee of the Legislature having jurisdiction over health and human services matters for review before the associated financial order is submitted to the Governor for approval. These transfers are considered adjustments to authorized position count, appropriations and allocations.’
