1 11
1 12 Section 1. MENTAL HEALTH, MENTAL RETARDATION, AND
1 13 DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES SERVICES FUND LEVY REVISIONS.
1 14 1. For the purposes of this section, "base year
1 15 expenditures" and "qualified mental health, mental
1 16 retardation, and developmental disabilities services" mean the
1 17 same as provided in section 331.438, and "services fund" means
1 18 the same as provided in section 331.424A.
1 19 2. A county may request approval of the county finance
1 20 committee in accordance with this section for revision of the
1 21 county's base year expenditures amount. A county is eligible
1 22 for a revision if the county made a major error in
1 23 establishing the county's base year expenditures amount by
1 24 underreporting the county's qualified mental health, mental
1 25 retardation, and developmental disabilities services
1 26 expenditures to the county finance committee and the
1 27 underreported expenditures amount was also included in the
1 28 county's final budget certified for the fiscal year beginning
1 29 July 1, 1995. For the purposes of this section, a major error
1 30 is a failure to include qualified mental health, mental
1 31 retardation, and developmental disabilities services
1 32 expenditures associated with the operation of a county care
1 33 facility, group home, or similar program.
1 34 3. A county's revision request shall be submitted to the
1 35 county finance committee which may approve or reject the
2 1 request in whole or in part, based upon the committee's
2 2 determination as to the extent to which an underreporting
2 3 error occurred. The revision request must be submitted within
2 4 ten days of the effective date of this Act, and a decision by
2 5 the county finance committee to approve or reject the revised
2 6 amount must be issued within twenty days of the effective date
2 7 of this Act. The decision of the county finance committee is
2 8 final.
2 9 4. If the county's request for revision of the county's
2 10 base year expenditures amount is approved under subsection 3,
2 11 the county board may by resolution provide for transfer of
2 12 moneys from the county's general fund to the county's services
2 13 fund for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1996. The amount
2 14 of the transfer shall not exceed the net revision amount of
2 15 the request approved under subsection 3.
2 16 5. For the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1997, for a
2 17 county for which a revision is approved under this section, to
2 18 the extent the county uses the revision to increase the
2 19 maximum levy authorized for the services fund of the county in
2 20 excess of the services fund levy certified in the county's
2 21 final budget for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1996, the
2 22 amount of increase shall be offset by an equivalent decrease
2 23 in the levy amount certified by the county for general county
2 24 services.
2 25 Sec. 2. EFFECTIVE DATE. This Act, being deemed of
2 26 immediate importance, takes effect upon enactment.
