01:36 PM -- HB 17-1292
Representative Young, bill sponsor, presented House Bill 17-1292 to the committee and distributed a handout and amendment L.001 (Attachments A and B). The bill establishes guidelines and new processes relating to the establishment of provider rates for licensed out-of-home placement providers that are paid by counties using child welfare block grant funding. By September 29, 2017, the Department of Human Services (DHS) must contract with an independent entity to conduct a salary survey and an actuarial analysis of the delivery of child welfare services, and to develop a new rate setting methodology for out-of-home-placement providers. The contractor is to involve the DHS, counties, and placement providers in the development of the new rate setting methodology, and if any of these stakeholders disagree with the rate methodology developed, they may submit alternative methodologies to the JBC by February 1, 2018. The DHS must submit the new rate setting methodology developed by the contractor to the JBC by April 2, 2018. The new methodology must be implemented by July 1, 2018, except for rates that require approval by the federal Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services.

The bill specifies various factors that the DHS must include in the ongoing development of the rate setting methodology, including cost-of-living adjustments and provider rate increases approved by the General Assembly. The rate setting methodology must be reviewed annually by the DHS with the involvement of counties and placement providers. Beginning September 1, 2018, and each September 1 thereafter, the DHS, with input from counties, must submit a report to the JBC on workload and cost changes concerning child welfare services.

06:56 PM -- SB 17-025
Representative Singer, bill sponsor, presented Senate Bill 17-025 to the committee and distributed amendment L.010 (Attachment L). The reengrossed bill, recommended by the Committee on Cost-Benefit Analysis of Legalized Marijuana, requires the Colorado Department of Education (CDE), with assistance from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE), to create and maintain a resource bank of materials and curricula related to marijuana. The bill requires that CDE solicit input from people both inside and outside the marijuana industry, and allows CDE to contract for services related to the development of the resource bank and curricula.
The resource bank must be available by July 1, 2017 and free to school districts, charter schools, and Boards of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES). The bill encourages school districts, charter schools, and BOCES to provide feedback to CDE and recommend changes, and for CDE to update the resource bank based on the feedback. If requested, CDE must also assist districts, charter schools, and BOCES with developing a marijuana-related curriculum.
The bill authorizes use of the Marijuana Tax Cash Fund (MTCF) to cover expenses related to developing and maintaining the resource bank and providing technical assistance. Representative Singer responded to committee questions on the bill.
07:05 PM -- Diane Carleson, Smart Colorado, testified in support of the bill.
