14 31 shall be prorated to the appropriate programs according to the
14 32 percentages specified in those sections, except additional
14 33 funds shall not be prorated for administrative expenses.
14 34 2. If funds received from the federal government from

25 17 advantageous to Iowa. All of the following requirements shall
25 18 apply in order for the department to make such a
25 19 determination:
25 20 (1) Early implementation will result in additional federal
25 21 funding for the family investment program or the JOBS program.
25 22 (2) The early implementation of the block grant provisions
25 23 will not disadvantage any applicant or recipient of assistance
25 24 under the family investment program by resulting in reduced
25 25 benefits, terminated eligibility, or denied eligibility to the
25 26 extent those conditions would not have resulted under Iowa's
25 27 welfare reform provisions in effect prior to the early
25 28 implementation of the federal block grant provisions. The
25 29 department may satisfy this requirement by using one hundred
25 30 percent state funds to offset any disadvantage to an applicant
25 31 or recipient for services eligible for federal financial
25 32 participation prior to the early implementation of the federal
25 33 block grant provisions if the increase in state funds used
25 34 does not exceed any additional federal funding received under
25 35 the block grant.
26 1 (3) The department can reasonably make computer system and
26 2 procedural changes necessary to implement the provisions
26 3 within any federally mandated time frames as necessary to
26 4 qualify for early implementation of the federal block grant
26 5 provisions.
26 6 (4) The state will not incur any excessive financial risks
26 7 with early implementation of the federal block grant
26 8 provisions.
26 9 2. If the federal legislation described is enacted, the
26 10 department shall seek input from the individuals of the work
26 11 group which considered the state human investment policy or a
26 12 successor interagency task force which makes recommendations
26 13 to the department concerning the family investment program.
26 14 3. If all of the conditions of subsections 1 and 2 are
26 15 met, the department may take steps to notify the United States
26 16 department of health and human services, or some other such
26 17 entity as designated in the federal legislation, that the
26 18 state of Iowa is opting for early implementation of the
26 19 federal welfare reform block grant provisions. If the
26 20 department takes steps to elect early implementation of the
26 21 federal block grant provisions, the department shall notify
26 22 the fiscal committee of the legislative council, the
26 23 legislative fiscal bureau, the chairpersons and ranking
26 24 members of the senate and house committees on human resources,
26 25 and the chairpersons and ranking members of the senate and
26 26 house appropriations subcommittee on human services of all of
26 27 the following:
26 28 a. The findings that the conditions in subsection 1 are
26 29 met.
26 30 b. The notice to the federal government of electing early
26 31 implementation of the block grant provisions.
26 32 c. Fiscal impacts of electing early implementation of the
26 33 block grant provisions.
26 34 4. If allowed by federal law, the department may
26 35 discontinue the provisions for control groups as required by
27 1 the federal government and apply welfare reform policies to
27 2 all applicants and recipients of assistance in the family
27 3 investment program equally. The department shall make
27 4 notifications similar to those required in subsection 3 of any
27 5 decision to continue or discontinue control groups.
27 6 5. The department of human services may adopt
27 7 administrative rules under section 17A.4, subsection 2, and
27 8 section 17A.5, subsection 2, paragraph "b", to implement the
27 9 provisions of this section and the rules shall become
27 10 effective immediately upon filing, unless the effective date
27 11 is delayed by the administrative rules review committee,
27 12 notwithstanding section 17A.4, subsection 5, and section
27 13 17A.8, subsection 9, or a later effective date is specified in
27 14 the rules. Any rules adopted in accordance with this
27 15 subsection shall not take effect before the rules are reviewed
27 16 by the administrative rules review committee. Any rules
27 17 adopted in accordance with the provisions of this subsection
27 18 shall also be published as notice of intended action as
27 19 provided in section 17A.4.
27 20 Sec. 59. FEDERAL FUNDING STUDY. The legislative council
27 21 is requested to provide for a review during the 1996
27 22 legislative interim of issues associated with federal funding
27 23 and federal block grants. Issues considered may include but
27 24 are not limited to all of the following:
27 25 1. Methods for the general assembly to provide greater
27 26 oversight.
27 27 2. Methods for appropriations subcommittees to effectively
27 28 incorporate planning for federal funding and grants into
27 29 budget deliberations.
27 30 3. An analysis of the impact of federal funding and grants
27 31 and their associated federal requirements upon the
27 32 effectiveness and efficiency of the state and local government
27 33 agencies administering the federal funding and grants.
27 34 4. Methods for analysis of the cash flows associated with
27 35 federal funding and grants, including variations between state
28 1 and federal fiscal years, and the multiple year commitment of
28 2 federal funding known as "forward funding."
28 3 5. Policy analysis tools for use in addressing new and
28 4 revised federal block grants and federal funding.
