Page 253, after line 31 insert:
"B.  Supplemental funding for the regional health planning agencies shall be provided from the following sources:
1.  Special funds from Certificate of Public Need application fees in excess of those required to operate the Office of Health Resources Development, provided the Office may retain special fund balances each year not in excess of one month's operational needs in case of revenue shortfalls in the subsequent year.
2.  General fund appropriations in this item unexpended at the end of each year of the biennium.  Such general fund appropriations shall be reappropriated for expenditure by the regional health planning agencies in the succeeding fiscal year."


Explanation
(This amendment restores language from the 1994-96 and 1996-98 appropriations acts. That language directed excess nongeneral fund revenue, from Certificate of Public Need (COPN) fees, be used to administer the COPN program at the state and regional level and to support other health planning functions of regional agencies. The deleted language only allowed carryforward of unexpended general fund appropriations.)
