     (a) FTE authorization.

 

     (b) Spending authorization for personnel-related costs, by

 

fund source, under the spending plan.

 

     (c) Actual year-to-date expenditures for personnel-related

 

costs, by fund source, through the end of the prior month.

 

     (d) The projected year-end balance or shortfall for personnel-

     (c) That updates are provided to the medical care advisory

 

council, behavioral health advisory council, and developmental

 

disabilities council.

 

     (2) In addition to the pilot project described in subsection

 

(1), the department shall continue to implement up to 3 pilot

 

projects to achieve fully financially integrated Medicaid

 

behavioral health and physical health benefit and financial

 

integration demonstration models. These demonstration models shall

 

use single contracts between the state and each licensed Medicaid

 

health plan that is currently contracted to provide Medicaid

 

services in the geographic area of the pilot project. The

 

department shall ensure that the pilot projects described in this

 

subsection are implemented in a manner that ensures at least all of

2 years.

 

     (4) For the duration of any pilot projects and demonstration

 

model, the department shall require that contracts between CMHSPs

 

and the Medicaid health plans within their pilot region mandate

 

that any and all realized benefits and cost savings of integrating

 

the physical health and behavioral health systems shall be

 

reinvested in services and supports for individuals having or at

 

risk of having a mental illness, an intellectual or developmental

 

disability, or a substance use disorder. Any and all realized

 

benefits and cost savings shall be specifically reinvested in the

 

counties where the savings occurred in accordance with the Medicaid

 

state plan and any applicable Medicaid waiver.

 

     (5) It is the intent of the legislature that the primary

 

purpose of the pilot projects and demonstration model is to test

 

how the state may better integrate behavioral and physical health

 

delivery systems in order to improve behavioral and physical health

 

outcomes, maximize efficiencies, minimize unnecessary costs, and

 

achieve material increases in behavioral health services without

 

increases in overall Medicaid spending.

 

     (6) The department shall continue to partner with 1 of the

 

state's research universities at least 6 months before the


completion of each pilot project or demonstration model authorized

 

under this section to evaluate the pilot project or demonstration

 

model. The evaluation must include all of the following:

demonstration model and will be provided to the department, the

 

house and senate appropriations subcommittees on the department

 

budget, the house and senate fiscal agencies, the house and senate

 

policy offices, and the state budget office.

 

     (7) By November 1 of the current fiscal year, the department

 

shall report to the house and senate appropriations subcommittees

 

on the department budget, the house and senate fiscal agencies, the

 

house and senate policy offices, and the state budget office on the

 

progress toward implementation of the pilot projects and

 

demonstration model described in this section, and a summary of all

 

projects. The report shall also include information on policy

 

changes and any other efforts made to improve the coordination of

 

supports and services for individuals having or at risk of having a

 

mental illness, an intellectual or developmental disability, a

 

substance use disorder, or a physical health need.

 

     (8) Upon completion of any pilot project or demonstration

 

model advanced under this section, the managing entity of the pilot

 

project or demonstration model shall submit a report to the senate

 

and house appropriations subcommittees on the department budget,

 

the senate and house fiscal agencies, the senate and house policy

 

offices, and the state budget office within 30 days of completion

 

of that pilot project or demonstration model detailing their

 

experience, lessons learned, efficiencies and savings revealed,

 

increases in investment on behavioral health services, and

 

recommendations for extending pilot projects to full implementation


or discontinuation.

 

     Sec. 299. (1) No state department or agency shall issue a

 

request for proposal (RFP) for a contract in excess of

 

$5,000,000.00, unless the department or agency has first considered

 

issuing a request for information (RFI) or a request for

 

qualification (RFQ) relative to that contract to better enable the

 

department or agency to learn more about the market for the

 

products or services that are the subject of the RFP. The

 

department or agency shall notify the department of technology,

 

management, and budget of the evaluation process used to determine

 

if an RFI or RFQ was not necessary prior to issuing the RFP.

 

     (2) From funds appropriated in part 1, for all RFPs issued

 

during the current fiscal year where an existing service received

 

proposals by multiple vendors, the department shall notify all

 

vendors within 30 days of the RFP decision. The notification to

 

vendors shall include details on the RFP process, including the

 

respective RFP scores and the respective cost for each vendor. If

 

the highest scored RFP or lowest cost RFP does not receive the

 

contract for an existing service offered by the department, the

 

notification shall issue an explanation for the reasons that the

 

highest scored RFP or lowest cost RFP did not receive the contract

 

and detail the incremental cost target amount or service level

 

required that was required to migrate the service to a new vendor.

details as to why a cost or service difference is justifiable if

 

the highest scored or lowest cost vendor does not receive the

 

contract.

appropriations subcommittees on the department budget, the senate

 

and house fiscal agencies, the senate and house policy offices, and

 

the state budget office by September 30 of the current fiscal year,

 

a report that includes the following:

 

     (a) A summary of all RFPs issued for a contract in excess of

 

$5,000,000.00 including whether an RFI or RFQ was considered, and

 

whether an RFI or RFQ was issued before issuing the RFP or whether

 

the issuance of an RFI or RFQ was determined not to be necessary.

 

     (b) A summary of all RFPs during the current fiscal year if an

 

existing service received proposals by multiple vendors.

 

     (c) A list of all finalized RFPs if there was a divergence

 

from awarding the contract to the lowest-cost or highest-scoring

 

vendor, and details as to why a divergence is justifiable as

 

provided in the notification to vendors under subsection (2).

amount being counted as title IV-D program income in accordance

 

with federal regulations at 45 CFR 304.50.

 

     (2) The department shall notify the chairs of the house and
