 Chapter 12

Appropriations

SECTION 17. REPORT TO LEGISLATIVE MANAGEMENT - TRANSITIONAL LIVING FACILITY. Subdivision 3 of section 1 of this Act includes funding of $547,000 from the general fund and $182,000 from other funds for an eight-unit transitional living facility in the southeast human service center region. The department of human services shall provide a report to the budget section in December 2014 on the status of the facility. SECTION 18. LEGISLATIVE INTENT - DEMOLITION OF DEVELOPMENTAL CENTER BUILDINGS. It is the intent of the sixty-third legislative assembly that the department of human services demolish the refectory and pleasant view buildings at the developmental center at westwood park, Grafton. If the amount of $220,000 included in the developmental center line item in subdivision 3 of section 1 of this Act is insufficient to provide for the demolition of both buildings, the department of human services may request emergency commission approval for additional funding from the state contingencies appropriation. SECTION 19. LEGISLATIVE INTENT - DEPUTY DIRECTOR POSITION. The removal of the full-time equivalent position in the administration and support division does not preclude the department of human services from employing a deputy director. The department may use an existing full-time equivalent position for the purpose of a deputy director position. SECTION 20. LEGISLATIVE INTENT - ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORDS. Because the electronic health records system is needed for the state hospital to maintain accreditation, the reduction of the funding in the information technology division does not preclude the department of human services from procuring an electronic health records system if the department can initiate the project within its 2013-15 biennium appropriation for the information technology division or field services division. SECTION 21. APPROPRIATION. There is appropriated out of any moneys in the general fund in the state treasury, not otherwise appropriated, the sum of $1,243,082, or so much of the sum as may be necessary, and from special funds derived from federal funds and other income, the sum of $159,349,321, or so much of the sum as may be necessary, to the department of human services for the purpose of funding the following initiatives, for the biennium beginning July 1, 2013, and ending June 30, 2015. The department of human services is authorized four full-time equivalent positions.
