as follows:

 On page 3, after line 26, by inserting the following:

 ``Sec. 4. K.S.A. 47-434 is hereby amended to read as follows: 47-434. As used in this act:

not to exceed $.05 per head on all sheep inspected in brand inspection areas of the state.
In addition to the per head fee, the livestock commissioner may charge and collect an on-
site inspection fee and a mileage fee for each mile necessarily and actually traveled in going
to and returning from the place of inspection. The livestock commissioner may, when brand

are yielding more than is required for the purposes for which such fees are collected, the
commissioner may reduce such fees for such period as the commissioner deems justified.
In the event the livestock commissioner, after reducing such fees, finds that sufficient rev-
enues are not being produced by the reduced fees to properly administer and enforce this
act and acts of which this section is amendatory or supplemental, the commissioner may
increase such fees to such rate as will, in the commissioner's judgment, produce sufficient
revenue for the purposes provided in this section, but not exceeding $.75 per head on cattle

 (c) The livestock commissioner shall remit all moneys received under K.S.A. 47-434

except any amounts received for brand inspection services of livestock outside of a county
option area. All expenditures from such fund shall be made in accordance with appropriation
acts upon warrants of the director of accounts and reports issued pursuant to vouchers

operator, the market operator shall be required to supply sufficient funds to provide such
amount. Any amount lesser or greater than the $40 amount specified, shall be determined

section to the livestock commissioner. The commissioner shall remit all such amounts re-
ceived to the state treasurer at least monthly. Upon receipt of any such remittance the state
treasurer shall deposit the entire amount thereof in the state treasury and the same shall be

the 15th day of each month the amounts collected during the preceding calendar month.

 (b) (c) The fee per head provided for in this section shall be in addition to the inspection
fee stated in K.S.A. 47-1008, and amendments thereto, to the license fee payable to the
commissioner for licenses mentioned and described in K.S.A. 47-1002, and amendments
thereto, and to the fee provided for in K.S.A. 74-534, and amendments thereto.

 (c) (d) The commissioner shall determine annually the amount of funds which will be
required, in addition to the funds received for fees imposed under K.S.A. 47-1001a and 47-
1001e, and amendments thereto, to properly enforce and administer the laws contained in
article 10 of chapter 47 of the Kansas Statutes Annotated, and amendments thereto, and
shall fix and adjust from time to time the fee per head imposed under this section in such
reasonable sum as may be necessary for such purposes, except that the fee per head fixed
under this section shall not be more than $.15. The fee per head in effect on the day
preceding the effective date of this act shall continue in effect until the commissioner fixes
a different fee per head under this section.

CONFERENCE COMMITTEE REPORT
      Mr. President and Mr. Speaker: Your committee on conference on Senate amend-
ments to HB 2034, submits the following report:

 On page 7, after line 26, by inserting the following:

 ``Sec. 5. K.S.A. 1999 Supp. 74-4927 is hereby amended to read as follows: 74-4927. (1)
The board may establish a plan of death and long-term disability benefits to be paid to the
members of the retirement system as provided by this section. The long-term disability
benefit shall not be payable until the member has been prevented from carrying out each
and every duty pertaining to the member's employment as a result of sickness or injury for
a period of 180 days and the annual benefit shall not exceed an amount equal to 66 2/3% of
the member's annual rate of compensation on the date such disability commenced and shall
be payable in equal monthly installments. In the event that a member's compensation is not
fixed at an annual rate but on an hourly, weekly, biweekly, monthly or any other basis than
annual, the board shall prescribe by rule and regulation a formula for establishing a reason-
able rate of annual compensation to be used in determining the amount of the death or
long-term disability benefit for such member. Such plan shall provide that:

 (A) For deaths occurring prior to January 1, 1987, the right to receive such death benefit
shall cease upon the member's attainment of age 70 or date of retirement whichever first
occurs. The right to receive such long-term disability benefit shall cease (i) for a member
who becomes eligible for such benefit before attaining age 60, upon the date that such
member attains age 65 or the date of such member's retirement, whichever first occurs, (ii)
for a member who becomes eligible for such benefit at or after attaining age 60, the date
that such member has received such benefit for a period of five years, upon the date that
such member attains age 70, or upon the date of such member's retirement, whichever first
occurs, (iii) for all disabilities incurred on or after January 1, 1987, for a member who
becomes eligible for such benefit at or after attaining age 70, the date that such member
has received such benefit for a period of 12 months or upon the date of such member's
retirement, whichever first occurs, and (iv) for all disabilities incurred on or after January
1, 1987, for a member who becomes eligible for such benefit at or after attaining age 75,
the date that such member has received such benefit for a period of six months or upon
the date of such member's retirement, whichever first occurs.

 (B) Long-term disability benefit payments shall be in lieu of any accidental total disability
benefit that a member may be eligible to receive under subsection (3) of K.S.A. 74-4916
and amendments thereto. The member must make an initial application for social security
disability benefits and, if denied such benefits, the member must pursue and exhaust all
administrative remedies of the social security administration which include, but are not
limited to, reconsideration and hearings. Such plan may provide that any amount which a
member receives as a social security benefit or a disability benefit or compensation from
any source by reason of any employment including, but not limited to, workers compensation
benefits may be deducted from the amount of long-term disability benefit payments under
such plan. During the period in which such member is pursuing such administrative rem-
edies prior to a final decision of the social security administration, social security disability
benefits may be estimated and may be deducted from the amount of long-term disability
benefit payments under such plan. Such long-term disability payments shall accrue from
the later of the 181st day of total disability or the first day upon which the member ceases
to draw compensation from the employer. If the social security benefit, workers compen-
sation benefit, other income or wages or other disability benefit by reason of employment,
or any part thereof, is paid in a lump-sum, the amount of the reduction shall be calculated
on a monthly basis over the period of time for which the lump-sum is given. In no case shall
a member who is entitled to receive long-term disability benefits receive less than $50 per
month. As used in this section, ``workers compensation benefits'' means the total award of
disability benefit payments under the workers compensation act notwithstanding any pay-
ment of attorney fees from such benefits as provided in the workers compensation act.

 (C) The plan may include other provisions relating to qualifications for benefits; schedules
and graduation of benefits; limitations of eligibility for benefits by reason of termination of
employment or membership; conversion privileges; limitations of eligibility for benefits by
reason of leaves of absence, military service or other interruptions in service; limitations on
the condition of long-term disability benefit payment by reason of improved health; require-
ments for medical examinations or reports; or any other reasonable provisions as established
by rule and regulation of uniform application adopted by the board.

 (D) On and after April 30, 1981, the board may provide under the plan for the continu-
ation of long-term disability benefit payments to any former member who forfeits the en-
titlement to continued service credit under the retirement system or continued assistance
in the purchase of retirement annuities under K.S.A. 74-4925 and amendments thereto and
to continued long-term disability benefit payments and continued death benefit coverage,
by reason of the member's withdrawal of contributions from the retirement system or the
repurchase of retirement annuities which were purchased with assistance received under
K.S.A. 74-4925 and amendments thereto. Such long-term disability benefit payments may
be continued until such individual dies, attains age 65 or is no longer disabled, whichever
occurs first.

 (E) Any visually impaired person who is in training at and employed by a sheltered
workshop for the blind operated by the secretary of social and rehabilitation services and
who would otherwise be eligible for the long-term disability benefit as described in this
section shall not be eligible to receive such benefit due to visual impairment as such im-
pairment shall be determined to be a preexisting condition.

 (2) (A) In the event that a member becomes eligible for a long-term disability benefit
under the plan authorized by this section such member shall be given participating service
credit for the entire period of such disability. Such member's final average salary shall be
computed in accordance with subsection (17) of K.S.A. 74-4902 and amendments thereto
except that the years of participating service used in such computation shall be the years of
salaried participating service.

 (B) In the event that a member eligible for a long-term disability benefit under the plan
authorized by this section shall be disabled for a period of five years or more immediately
preceding retirement, such member's final average salary shall be adjusted upon retirement
by the actuarial salary assumption rates in existence during such period of disability. Effec-
tive July 1, 1993, such member's final average salary shall be adjusted upon retirement by
5% for each year of disability after July 1, 1993, but before July 1, 1998. Effective July 1,
1998, such member's final average salary shall be adjusted upon retirement by an amount
equal to the lesser of: (i) The percentage increase in the consumer price index for all urban
consumers as published by the bureau of labor statistics of the United States department
of labor minus 1%; or (ii) four percent per annum, measured from the month the disability
occurs to the month that is two months prior to the month of retirement, for each year of
disability after July 1, 1998.

 (C) In the event that a member eligible for a long-term disability benefit under the plan
authorized by this section shall be disabled for a period of five years or more immediately
preceding death, such member's current annual rate shall be adjusted by the actuarial salary
assumption rates in existence during such period of disability. Effective July 1, 1993, such
member's current annual rate shall be adjusted upon death by 5% for each year of disability
after July 1, 1993, but before July 1, 1998. Effective July 1, 1998, such member's current
annual rate shall be adjusted upon death by an amount equal to the lesser of: (i) The
percentage increase in the consumer price index for all urban consumers published by the
bureau of labor statistics of the United States department of labor minus 1%; or (ii) four
percent per annum, measured from the month the disability occurs to the month that is
two months prior to the month of death, for each year of disability after July 1, 1998.

 (3) (A) To carry out the legislative intent to provide, within the funds made available
therefor, the broadest possible coverage for members who are in active employment or
involuntarily absent from such active employment, the plan of death and long-term disability
benefits shall be subject to adjustment from time to time by the board within the limitations
of this section. The plan may include terms and provisions which are consistent with the
terms and provisions of group life and long-term disability policies usually issued to those
employers who employ a large number of employees. The board shall have the authority to
establish and adjust from time to time the procedures for financing and administering the
plan of death and long-term disability benefits authorized by this section. Either the insured
death benefit or the insured disability benefit or both such benefits may be financed directly
by the system or by one or more insurance companies authorized and licensed to transact
group life and group accident and health insurance in this state.

 (B) The board may contract with one or more insurance companies, which are authorized
and licensed to transact group life and group accident and health insurance in Kansas, to
underwrite or to administer or to both underwrite and administer either the insured death
benefit or the long-term disability benefit or both such benefits. Each such contract with
an insurance company under this subsection shall be entered into on the basis of competitive
bids solicited and administered by the board. Such competitive bids shall be based on
specifications prepared by the board.

 (i) In the event the board purchases one or more policies of group insurance from such
company or companies to provide either the insured death benefit or the long-term disability
benefit or both such benefits, the board shall have the authority to subsequently cancel one
or more of such policies and, notwithstanding any other provision of law, to release each
company which issued any such canceled policy from any liability for future benefits under
any such policy and to have the reserves established by such company under any such
canceled policy returned to the system for deposit in the group insurance reserve of the
fund.

 (ii) In addition, the board shall have the authority to cancel any policy or policies of group
life and long-term disability insurance in existence on the effective date of this act and,
notwithstanding any other provision of law, to release each company which issued any such
canceled policy from any liability for future benefits under any such policy and to have the
reserves established by such company under any such canceled policy returned to the system
for deposit in the group insurance reserve of the fund. Notwithstanding any other provision
of law, no premium tax shall be due or payable by any such company or companies on any
such policy or policies purchased by the board nor shall any brokerage fees or commissions
be paid thereon.

 (4) (A) There is hereby created in the state treasury the group insurance reserve fund.
Investment income of the fund shall be added or credited to the fund as provided by law.
The cost of the plan of death and long-term disability benefits shall be paid from the group
insurance reserve fund, which shall be administered by the board. Except as otherwise
provided by this subsection, each participating employer shall appropriate and pay to the
system in such manner as the board shall prescribe in addition to the employee and employer
retirement contributions an amount equal to .6% of the amount of compensation on which
the members' contributions to the Kansas public employees retirement system are based
for deposit in the group insurance reserve fund. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
subsection, no participating employer shall appropriate and pay to the system any amount
provided for by this subsection for deposit in the group insurance reserve fund for the period
commencing on April 1, 2000, and ending on June 30, 2001.

 (B) The director of the budget and the governor shall include in the budget and in the
budget request for appropriations for personal services a sum to pay the state's contribution
to the group insurance reserve fund as provided by this section and shall present the same
to the legislature for allowances and appropriation.

 (C) The provisions of subsection (4) of K.S.A. 74-4920 and amendments thereto shall
apply for the purpose of providing the funds to make the contributions to be deposited to
the group insurance reserve fund.

 (D) Any dividend or retrospective rate credit allowed by an insurance company or com-
panies shall be credited to the group insurance reserve fund and the board may take such
amounts into consideration in determining the amounts of the benefits under the plan
authorized by this section.

 (5) The death benefit provided under the plan of death and long-term disability benefits
authorized by this section shall be known and referred to as insured death benefit. The
long-term disability benefit provided under the plan of death and long-term disability ben-
efits authorized by this section shall be known and referred to as long-term disability benefit.

 (6) The board is hereby authorized to establish an optional death benefit plan. Except as
provided in subsection (7), such optional death benefit plan shall be made available to all
employees who are covered or may hereafter become covered by the plan of death and
long-term disability benefits authorized by this section. The cost of the optional death benefit
plan shall be paid by the applicant either by means of a system of payroll deductions or
direct payment to the board. The board shall have the authority and discretion to establish
such terms, conditions, specifications and coverages as it may deem to be in the best interest
of the state of Kansas and its employees which should include term death benefits for the
person's period of active state employment regardless of age, but in no case, on and after
January 1, 1989, shall the maximum allowable coverage be less than $200,000. The cost of
the optional death benefit plan shall not be established on such a basis as to unreasonably
discriminate against any particular age group. The board shall have full administrative re-
sponsibility, discretion and authority to establish and continue such optional death benefit
plan and the director of accounts and reports of the department of administration shall when
requested by the board and from funds appropriated or available for such purpose establish
a system to make periodic deductions from state payrolls to cover the cost of the optional
death benefit plan coverage under the provisions of this subsection (6) and shall remit all
deductions together with appropriate accounting reports to the system. There is hereby
created in the state treasury the optional death benefit plan reserve fund. Investment income
of the fund shall be added or credited to the fund as provided by law. All funds received by
the board, whether in the form of direct payments, payroll deductions or otherwise, shall
be accounted for separately from all other funds of the retirement system and shall be paid
into the optional death benefit plan reserve fund, from which the board is authorized to
make the appropriate payments and to pay the ongoing costs of administration of such
optional death benefit plan as may be incurred in carrying out the provisions of this sub-
section (6).

 (7) Any employer other than the state of Kansas which is currently a participating em-
ployer of the Kansas public employees retirement system or is in the process of affiliating
with the Kansas public employees retirement system may also elect to affiliate for the pur-
poses of subsection (6). All such employers shall make application for affiliation with such
system, to be effective on January 1 next following application. Such optional death benefit
plan shall not be available for employees of employers specified under this subsection until
after July 1, 1988.

EXPLANATION OF VOTE
 Mr. Speaker: From Lansing to Liberal. From Brewster to Fort Scott. The assault on
the KPERS retirement system has begun: This war can only end in one of two ways. The
majority party will realize the real goal--complete privatization or the quarter of a million
members of the KPERS system will send those legislators leading this assault on KPERS
back to private life in November. I'm voting no on HB 2034.--Richard Alldritt

 Mr. Speaker: I vote no on HB 2034 because I believe it's irresponsible for the state to
raid its employees' retirement fund in order to make up budget shortfall. Placing a mora-
torium on the death and disability benefit contribution to KPERS begins a very dangerous
precedent that the KPERS Board of Trustees has warned this legislature not to establish.
While I support several positive aspects of this bill, such as the partial 13th check, I cannot
support attempts to raid a healthy retirement system to make up for the state's fiscal mis-
management.--Ruby Gilbert, L. Candy Ruff

   Mr. Speaker: Placing a moratorium on death and disability benefit contributions begins
a dangerous precedent which violates one fundamental principle--the state cannot raid its
employees' retirement fund to make up budget shortfalls. The federal government made
the same misstep when for decades they used Social Security to shore up their budget.
While I support some form of a 13th check, removing the 3 out of 4 hiring freeze and
increased overtime eligibility, I will not allow KPERS to go down the same road Social
Security has. The fundamental principle must stand that we cannot raid KPERS funds to
balance the budget.--Jim Garner, Bill Feuerborn, Annie Kuether

EXPLANATION OF VOTE
 Mr. Speaker: H. Sub. for SB 326 provides increases in Base Budget funding and Special
Education only if the state receives federal Medicaid money that currently only 5 states
receive. This budget refuses to commit state dollars to education. Apparently, Kansas schools
and Kansas children aren't important enough to use state dollars for needed increases. It is
also a sad commentary on the Kansas House of Representatives' level of commitment to
public education for the past eight years when a proposed 1.3% increase is considered a
major step forward. I vote no.--Sue Storm

MESSAGE FROM THE SENATE

 The Senate adopts conference committee report on SB 425.

 The Senate adopts conference committee report on SB 664.

 The Senate adopts conference committee report on HCR 5059.

CONFERENCECOMMITTEE REPORT

 Mr. President and Mr. Speaker: Your committee on conference on Senate amend-
ments to HCR 5059, submits the following report:

 The House accedes to all Senate amendments to the concurrent resolution, and your
committee on conference further agrees to amend the concurrent resolution, as printed
with Senate Committee of the Whole amendments, as follows:

 On page 1, in line 14, before ``WHEREAS''; by inserting ``Section 1''; in line 22, by striking
``depressed'' and inserting ``volatile''; in line 39, by stiking ``A 1998 study'' and inserting ``The
1999, Kansas Innovation Index'';

 On page 2, after line 20, by inserting new material to read as follows:

 ``Sec. 2. WHEREAS, Unfunded mandates by the United States Congress and the exec-
utive branch of the federal government increasingly strain already tight state government
budgets if the states are to comply; and

 WHEREAS, To further compound this assault on state revenues, federal district courts,
with the blessing of the United States Supreme Court, continue to order states to levy or
increase taxes to supplement their budgets to comply with federal mandates; and

 WHEREAS, The court's actions are an intrusion into a legitimate legislative debate over
state spending priorities and not a response to a constitutional directive; and

 WHEREAS, The Constitution of the United States of America does not allow, nor do
the states need, judicial intervention requiring tax levies or increases as solutions to poten-
tially serious problems; and

 WHEREAS, This usurpation of legislative authority begins a process that over time could
threaten the fundamental concept of separation of powers that is precious to the preservation
of the form of our government embodied by the Constitution of the United States of Amer-
ica; and

 WHEREAS, Fifteen states, including Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Delaware,
Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Nevada, New York, Oklahoma, South Da-
kota, Tennessee and Utah, have petitioned the United States Congress to propose an amend-
ment to the Constitution of the United States of America that reads as follows: ``Neither
the Supreme Court nor any inferior court of the United States shall have the power to
instruct or order a state or political subdivision thereof, or an official of such state or political
subdivision, to levy or increase taxes.'': Now, therefore,

 Be it resolved by the Senate of the State of Kansas, the House of Representatives concurring
therein: That the Kansas Legislature respectfully requests and petitions the Congress of the
United States to propose submission to the states for their ratification an amendment to the
Constitution of the United States of America to restrict the ability of the United States
Supreme Court or any inferior court of the United States to mandate any state or political
subdivision of the state to levy or increase taxes; and

 Be it further resolved: That the Secretary of State is hereby directed to send enrolled
copies of this section to the President of the United States; the President pro tempore of
the United States Senate; the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives; each
member of the Kansas Congressional Delegation; each member of the United States Su-
preme Court and the United States Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit and all federal
district court judges for the district of Kansas; and each member of the Kansas Supreme
Court and the Kansas Court of Appeals and all Kansas district court judges.

 Sec. 3. WHEREAS, In Brown v. Board of Education, a unanimous Supreme Court of
the United States recognized that education is perhaps the most important function of state
and local governments; in Wisconsin v. Yoder, the Supreme Court recognized that the
provision of public schools ranks at the very apex of the function of a state; in San Antonio
Independent School District v. Rodriquez, the Supreme Court refused to invalidate the
Texas system of financing its public schools opining that education is one of the most im-
portant services performed by the state and declining to intrude in an area which tradition-
ally has been reserved for state legislatures; and

 WHEREAS, The architects of America's Constitution and Bill of Rights constructed a
unique form of federalism under which the people delegated to the national government
certain limited powers while reserving all other authority to the states and the people; the
powers of the two government levels were carefully balanced and each had distinct roles
with most day-to-day functions being left at the level closest to the people; the founders
expected state power to rival national power; and

 WHEREAS, America's unique form of federalism worked for a while, but has been se-
verely eroded over the years; the states have become enfeebled while the federal government
has consolidated power and now involves itself in every conceivable area of governance,
including the most local of concerns; nowhere is encroachment by the federal government
on states' rights more apparent than in the area of education, specifically special education;
and

 WHEREAS, The states were and are well aware of the constitutional obligation to provide
public education for children with disabilities; many of the states enacted constitutionally
sound special education laws prior to enactment in 1975 by Congress of Public Law 94-
142, the Education for All Handicapped Children Act, known since 1990 as the Individuals
with Disabilities Education Act or IDEA; nearly six million American children receive spe-
cial education services provided by the states at a cost of almost $40 billion, only about $5.7
billion of which is federal money; and

 WHEREAS, Enactment of the IDEA transferred decisions about the ways in which
special education services would be provided from state capitals to Washington, D.C.; in an
effort to alleviate the intrusion that transfer of control over special education had upon an
area traditionally reserved to the states, the Act authorized appropriation of a sum equal to
40% of the average per pupil expenditure for general education pupils; Congressional ap-
propriations have never come near the authorization level; and

 WHEREAS, A recent report by the Kansas State Department of Education provided the
Kansas Legislature with the estimated special education expenditures in Kansas for fiscal
year 2001; the report estimated expenditures for special education in the amount of
$483,300,437, and was broken down by anticipated state, local, and federal aid percentages;
the report revealed that federal aid, including medicaid reimbursement of approximately
$16 million, would comprise only 11.7% of the total expenditures for special education; if
increased to the authorized 40% level, federal aid would increase from $56,500,000 to
$193,320,175; and

 WHEREAS, The National Council on Disability recently reported that many children
with disabilities are receiving substandard schooling because the states are not complying
with federal rules on special education; the response of officials at the U.S. Department of
Education, the federal agency responsible for overseeing compliance with the IDEA, was
predictable, not an assertion that the agency would make an intense effort to get Congress
to provide assistance to the states in the form of increased dollars, at least to a level more
nearly approaching the 40% level of expenditures authorized for special education, but with
a threat to be more aggressive in monitoring and enforcing compliance; and

 WHEREAS, In 1998, the Kansas Legislature adopted a concurrent resolution memori-
alizing the Congress to assume its fair share of the costs of special education services by
increasing funding to a level more nearly approaching the level authorized by the Individuals
with Disabilities Education Act; and

 WHEREAS, Kansas Congressman Jerry Moran took heed of the Kansas Legislature's
resolution and wrote a letter to President Clinton. The letter, dated January 20, 2000, and
fully endorsed by the Kansas Legislature, contained the following excerpts:

      ``Dear Mr. President:

       As you prepare for the State of the Union address and your budget submission to
      Congress, I encourage you to place a high priority on funding special education. The
      greatest issue facing Kansas Governor Bill Graves and the Kansas Legislature is finding
      the necessary resources to meet the needs of Kansas students.

       ``Congress first mandated special education in 1975 and pledged to assist state and
      local governments by paying 40 percent of the costs of educating students with disabil-
      ities. Unfortunately, the federal government has never met its obligation.

       ``Mr. President, I share your goals of improving school facilities, hiring and training
      more teachers and making better technology available to students, but rather than rolling
      out a list of expensive new federal programs, let's go back and fulfill a commitment made
      25 years ago to fund special education. Doing so would free up billions of dollars na-
      tionwide that states could use to address their own unique education needs.

       ``As you prepare your budget and as you prepare to address the nation, I hope you
      will make special education your priority. It is important, not only to those children who
      participate in special education programs, but to every child whose education is so im-
      portant to the future of our country.''; and

 WHEREAS, Kansas Congressman Dennis Moore also recognizes that Kansas and the
other states are struggling under the burden of exploding special education costs as evi-
denced by the following remarks made at a Kansas PTA rally:

       ``When I visited the school districts in the Kansas Third, I did not find one local
      district that did not receive funding from the Individuals with Disabilities Education
      Act. Nor did I find any school district that disagreed with its goals.

       ``Instead, what I did discover in every district was a school board struggling to find
      the fiscal resources to comply--fiscal resources that Congress promised when it passed
      the bill, but has never provided.

       ``Many of my colleagues have lauded this year's increase from 9% of the total cost for
      special education in the U.S. to 12% in FY 2000. But guess what? When Congress passed
      the legislation in 1975, it committed to fund 40% of the cost. Congress has never come
      close to meeting this goal, and that has left local school districts to pick up the difference.
      Increasing the federal appropriations would free up state and local education dollars
      without adding additional federal red tape and bureaucracy.''; and in a letter to President
      Clinton, Congressman Moore wrote:

       ``In 1975, Congress agreed to fund 40 percent of the excess costs to educate children
      with disabilities. For fiscal year 2000, Congress funded 12 percent. Last year I visited
      every school district in my congressional district and met with parents, administrators,
      teachers and school board members. I found that each school district receives funding
      from IDEA, and every school district agrees with its goals. But I also discovered that
      every district was struggling to find the fiscal resources to meet these goals--resources
      that Congress promised when it passed the bill, but has never provided. Every child in
      our country deserves to be educated, and it should be a federal commitment of the first
      order that we support our school districts in this endeavor. Keeping our promise to local
      schools would free up state and local education dollars without adding additional federal
      red tape and bureaucracy.``; and

 WHEREAS, The Kansas Legislature has devoted considerable effort and a great amount
of time during the 2000 session in an attempt to address concerns regarding delivery of
special education services and to find some solution to the rapidly escalating costs of pro-
viding such services; in the course of its study of the matter, the Legislature received reports
from the Kansas State Department of Education and from embattled providers of special
education services in the field; the reports were overwhelmingly disturbing and revealed
that from 1990 through 1998, Kansas realized a 29% increase in the number of pupils with
disabilities, a 32% increase in the number of professionals, and a 150% increase in the
number of paraprofessionals; one special education cooperative reported a 48% increase in
expenditures for special education from the 1990-91 school year through the 1999-2000
school year; school districts are experiencing continuing growth in the population of children
with severe disabilities, in the number of behavior disordered pupils and in other high need
populations of children, such as children with autism or traumatic brain injury, who require
high cost programs; the 1997 IDEA amendments added several new specific disabling con-
ditions; the quality and quantity of special education teachers is a major concern as the
growth in numbers of pupils and severity of disabilities increase and the pool of trained
teachers decreases; special education professionals face stress, burnout and increased pa-
perwork even though the 1997 amendments to the IDEA were supposed to reduce paper-
work; one director of special education services stated that he had been a special education
professional since 1972 and was more worried than in his whole career about the increasing
demands on the system to serve more pupils, with more severe disabilities, to higher stan-
dards than ever before, with fewer trained, skilled teachers and decreasing financial re-
sources; and

 WHEREAS, On February 7, 2000, President Clinton sent Congress a $1.84 trillion
budget proposal that devotes more than $300 billion to more than 100 new programs; while
many of the centerpieces of the budget proposal may be praiseworthy, legislators and school
officials in Kansas would rather the Congress, in drafting its own spending proposals, honor
the commitment to fully fund the federal share of special education costs before adopting
any spending proposal that is dedicated to new programs: Now, therefore,

 Be it resolved by the Senate of the State of Kansas, the House of Representatives concurring
therein: That the Legislature, in recognition that children with disabilities have a funda-
mental right to be provided with a free and appropriate public education and that the
Congress of the United States has enacted a federal law for the purpose of assisting the
states in honoring that fundamental right and in the belief that projected federal budget
surpluses present the federal government with the tremendous opportunity to assume its
fair share of the costs of providing special education services, hereby strongly urges the
President and the Congress of the United States to put a new twist on the old joke about
federal officials appearing in a state and saying ''we're here to help`` by increasing funding
for the provision of special education services for children with disabilities from the average
federal share of 12% nationwide to the 40% level authorized by the Individuals with Disa-
bilities Education Act; and

 Be it further resolved: That the Secretary of State is hereby directed to send enrolled
copies of this section to The Hon. William Clinton at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., Washington,
D.C. 20500; The Hon. Richard Riley at U.S. Dept. of Education, 400 Maryland Ave. NW,

      Mr. President and Mr. Speaker: Your committee on conference on House amend-
ments to SB 248, submits the following report:

 The Senate accedes to all House amendments to the bill, and your committee on con-
ference further agrees to amend the bill, as printed with House Committee of the Whole
amendments, as follows:

 On page 1, by striking all in lines 22 through 43;

 On page 2, by striking all in lines 1 through 43;

 On page 3, by striking all in lines 1 through 23 and inserting new material to read as
follows:

 ``Section 1. K.S.A. 75-5321a is hereby amended to read as follows: 75-5321a. The secretary
of social and rehabilitation services shall take necessary actions to transfer the administration
of certain long-term care programs and services to the secretary of aging. The programs
shall include the nursing facility services payment program, the home and community based
nursing facility services for the frail elderly waiver program, the case management for the
frail elderly program and the income eligible (home care) program. Excluding nursing fa-
cility programs, the programs to be transferred shall not include long-term care programs
for individuals under the age of 65 with mental illness, mental retardation, other mental
disabilities or physical disabilities. All such transfers shall be made only in accordance with
federal grant requirements related to such programs.

 New Sec. 2. (a) The secretary of social and rehabilitation services and the secretary of
aging shall take necessary actions to establish an intergovernmental transfer program as a
part of the nursing facility services payment program within the medicaid state plan.

 (b) In implementing the intergovernmental transfer program, the secretary of aging shall
disburse moneys received from the federal government for the intergovernmental transfer
program and moneys transferred from the state general fund to the intergovernmental trans-
fer fund for the program to units of government which have entered into participation
agreements with the secretary of aging and the secretary of social and rehabilitation services.
The amount of moneys disbursed to the units of government from moneys transferred from
the state general fund to the intergovernmental transfer fund for the program shall not
exceed the amount necessary to match federal funds available to the state under the inter-
governmental transfer program. The secretary of aging shall periodically calculate the
amount of federal funds available under the program according to the methodology pre-
scribed for the intergovernmental transfer program in the medicaid state plan.

 (c) The secretary of social and rehabilitation services and the secretary of aging are au-
thorized to enter into intergovernmental transfer program participation agreements with
units of government which own and operate nursing facilities. The participation agreements
may permit the units of government to retain a participation fee specified by the secretary
of aging from moneys received under the intergovernmental transfer program which are
otherwise required to be transferred back to the secretary of aging.

 (d) (1) There is hereby established the intergovernmental transfer fund in the state treas-
ury which shall be administered by the secretary of aging in accordance with this act. All
expenditures from the intergovernmental transfer fund shall be to disburse the state match
amount under the intergovernmental transfer program and shall be made in accordance
with appropriation acts upon warrants of the director of accounts and reports issued pursuant
to vouchers approved by the secretary of aging or the secretary's designee. Subject to the
provisions of appropriation acts, when the secretary of aging determines that an amount of
federal medicaid moneys is available for the intergovernmental transfer program, the sec-
retary of aging shall determine the amount required as the state match and shall certify that
amount to the director of accounts and reports. Upon receipt of each such state match
certification, the director of accounts and reports shall transfer the amount certified by
revenue transfer from the state general fund to the intergovernmental transfer fund. Upon
the crediting of such state match amount in the intergovernmental transfer fund, the sec-
retary of aging shall disburse the amount of federal moneys and the state match amount to
the units of government that have entered into participation agreements under the program.

 (2) Each unit of government receiving a disbursement under the intergovernmental trans-
fer program shall reimburse the amount of money received, less the amount of the partic-
ipation fee, to the secretary of aging. Upon receipt of each amount of moneys from partic-
ipating units of government under the intergovernmental transfer program, the secretary of
aging shall deposit the entire amount in the state treasury to the credit of the intergovern-
mental transfer fund. The secretary of aging shall determine the amount of each such deposit
that was transferred from the state general fund to match medicaid federal funds under the
intergovernmental transfer program and shall certify such amount to the director of accounts
and reports. Upon receipt of each such certification, the director of accounts and reports
shall retransfer the amount certified from the intergovernmental transfer fund to the state
general fund.

 (e) There is hereby established the intergovernmental transfer administration fund in the
state treasury which shall be administered by the secretary of aging in accordance with this
act. All expenditures from the intergovernmental transfer administration fund shall be to
pay the costs of administering the intergovernmental transfer program and shall be made
in accordance with appropriation acts upon warrants of the director of accounts and reports
issued pursuant to vouchers approved by the secretary of aging or the secretary's designee.
The secretary of aging shall recover the costs of administering the intergovernmental transfer
program from the intergovernmental transfer fund by certifying the amount of such costs
to the director of accounts and reports each calendar quarter. Upon receipt of each certi-
fication of costs from the secretary of aging under this subsection, the director of accounts
and reports shall transfer the amount certified from the intergovernmental transfer fund to
the intergovernmental transfer administration fund.

 (f) After each amount of moneys is credited to the intergovernmental transfer fund and
the amount of the state match that had been transferred from the state general fund has
been transferred back to the state general fund pursuant to subsection (d)(2), and after the
transfer of the amount certified by the secretary of aging to the intergovernmental transfer
administration fund pursuant to subsection (e), if any, the director of accounts and reports
shall transfer the remaining amount in the intergovernmental transfer fund as follows:

 (1) During the period from the effective date of this act through June 30, 2001, 60% of
such amount shall be transferred to the senior services trust fund established by section 3
and amendments thereto, 9.7% of such amount shall be transferred to the state medicaid
match fund--department on aging established by subsection (o)(1), 15.3% of such amount
shall be transferred to the state medicaid match fund--SRS established by subsection (o)(2),
10% of such amount shall be transferred to the long-term care loan and grant fund estab-
lished by subsection (h) and 5% of such amount shall be transferred to the HCBS programs
fund established by subsection (p); and

 (2) after June 30, 2001, 70% of such amount shall be transferred to the senior services
trust fund, 5% of such amount shall be transferred to the long-term care loan and grant
fund and 25% of such amount shall be transferred to the following special revenue funds
in an amount specified by appropriation acts of the legislature for each such fund: State
medicaid match fund--department on aging and the state medicaid match fund--SRS.

 (g) There is hereby established the senior services fund in the state treasury which shall
be administered by the secretary of aging in accordance with this act. All expenditures from
the senior services fund shall be made in accordance with appropriation acts upon warrants
of the director of accounts and reports issued pursuant to vouchers approved by the secretary
of aging or the secretary's designee. Moneys in the senior services fund shall be used by the
secretary of aging only for projects intended (1) to reduce future medicaid costs to the state,
(2) to help seniors avoid premature institutionalization, (3) to improve the quality of care
or the quality of life of seniors who are customers of long-term care programs, (4) to satisfy
state matching requirements for senior service programs authorized by federal law, or (5)
to provide financial assistance under the senior pharmacy assistance program. Moneys cred-
ited to the senior services fund from income of investments of the moneys in the senior
services trust fund shall not be used to create or fund any entitlement program not in
existence on the effective date of this act.

 (h) There is hereby established the long-term care loan and grant fund in the state treasury
which shall be administered by the secretary of aging in accordance with this act. All ex-
penditures from the long-term care loan and grant fund shall be made in accordance with
appropriation acts upon warrants of the director of accounts and reports issued pursuant to
vouchers approved by the secretary of aging or the secretary's designee. Moneys in the long-
term care loan and grant fund shall be used to make loans under the long-term care loan
program developed by the secretary of aging in accordance with this section and grants
under the long-term grant program developed by the secretary of aging in accordance with
this section.

care loan program in accordance with this section. Subject to the provisions of this section
and the provisions of appropriation acts, the secretary of aging may enter into loan agree-
ments for market-rate, low-interest or no-interest, fully or partially secured or unsecured
loans with repayment provisions and other terms and conditions as may be prescribed by
the secretary under such program. Loans under the long-term care loan program may be
made for the following:

 (1) Converting all or parts of some types of licensed adult care homes from their existing
licensure types to different licensure types to meet demonstrated changing service demands
in their communities;

 (2) converting private residences to licensed homes plus facilities, as defined by K.S.A.

 (5) rural hospitals contracting for physician, physician assistant or licensed professional

 (j) The secretary of aging may consider the following factors to prioritize and select loans
under the long-term care loan program, grants under the long-term care grant program and
projects financed from the senior services fund:

 (1) Type of loan--higher interest is preferable to lower interest and more secured is
preferable to less secured;

60 beds or more;

 (3) availability and utilization of the same type of facilities or services in the proposed
loan or project area;

 (4) type of facility owner or borrower--unit of government, not-for-profit organizations,

grant fund within the state treasury and used to make new loans or grants under this section.
The repayment of a loan or of a senior services fund project contract or grant may not be
forgiven, in whole or in part, except as authorized by law.

 (l) The secretary of aging is hereby authorized to develop and implement a long-term
care grant program in accordance with this section. Subject to the provisions of this section
and the provisions of appropriation acts, the secretary of aging may make competitive match-
ing grants under such terms and conditions as may be prescribed by the secretary under
such program. Grants under the long-term care grant program may be made only from the

contingency fee agreement. Compensation for reasonable attorney fees for services per-
formed in an appeal of a judgment in any such action to the court of appeals shall be

EXPLANATION OF VOTE
 Mr. Speaker: To ask this body, or any member, to act responsibly on a 14-page confer-
ence committee report, incorporating into a single bill three separate measures dealing with
the significant issues of ethics, campaign finance, and competitive bidding on services, within
less than 5 minutes after having been handed the report, is unconscionable. Under such
circumstances any affirmative votes would be irresponsible. On adoption of the conference
committee report for S. Sub. for HB 2627, I must vote no.--Ward Loyd
