 ---RESPITE CARE SERVICE

Sec. 7.1.  (a) A respite care program is established to provide needy relief to caregivers of patients who cannot be left alone because of mental or physical problems and whose incomes preclude coverage under North Carolina's Medicaid eligibility standards.

(b)       Those eligible for respite care under the program established by this act are limited to those unpaid caregivers who are caring for patients who require constant supervision and who cannot be left alone either (i) because of memory impairment or other problems that make them subject to wandering, or make them dangerous to themselves or others, or (ii) because of physical immobility, regardless of etiology, that renders them unsafe alone.

(c)       Respite care services provided by the programs established by this section shall include:

(1)       Attendance and companion services for the patient in order to provide released time to the caregiver;

(2)       Personal care services, including meal preparation, to the patient of the caregiver;

(3)       Patient assessment and care planning for the patient of the caregiver;

(4)       Counseling and training in the caregiving role, including coping mechanisms and behavior modification techniques;

(5)       Counseling in accessing available local, regional, and State services;

(6)       Adult Day Care where cost effective; and

(7)       Temporarily institutionalizing the patient of the caregivers to provide the caregiver total respite, when the mental or physical stress on the caregiver necessitates this respite. This institutionalization may last for no more than a total of 30 days per year per patient. Program funds may provide no more than the current domiciliary care reimbursement rate for this institutionalization. The services described by subdivisions (1) through (5) of this subsection shall be limited to a maximum of 20 hours of service per month per caretaker. Duration of the service period shall be unlimited for as long as the caretaker continues to qualify as a caretaker as defined by subsection (b) of this section.

(d)       The program established by this section shall be administered by the Council of Government in each region, which shall contract for service provision with an existing agency to be chosen by the same process as used for federal contracting. The Council in each region shall choose the respite care service provider on the basis of a competitive bidding process open to all existing respite care service providers. Criteria for selection shall include documented capacity to provide care, adequacy of quality assurance, training, supervision, abuse prevention and complaint mechanisms proposed by the provider, and lowest cost.

(e)       Eligibility for initial and continued receipt of services shall be determined by review of application forms submitted to the Division of Aging, Department of Human Resources.

(f)        Caregivers receiving respite care services through the program established by this section shall pay for some of the services on a sliding scale depending on their ability to pay, but not less than twenty percent (20%) of the cost of these services. The Division of Aging, Department of Human Resources shall specify rates of payment for the services.

(g)       Up to three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000) in Social Services Block Grant funds may be expended for this purpose in this section in fiscal year 1986-87. These funds shall be allocated as follows:

(1)       Sufficient funds to establish and maintain a full- time position of Respite Care Services Consultant within the Division of Aging, Department of Human Resources. This consultant shall provide ongoing technical assistance to the Area Agencies on Aging and prepare an annual fiscal report on the program for presentation to the Joint Legislative Commission on Governmental Operations and to the Fiscal Research Division of the Legislative Services Office no later than the first of May each year.

(2)       All other funds to the Area Agencies on Aging, proportionally based on the number of elderly citizens of 75 years or more in the regions, to fund the respite care program established by this act. Revenues received from clients' payments shall be used by the provider agencies to provide additional respite services, as defined by this section. This funding allocation may be changed by the Secretary of the Department of Human Resources upon the recommendation of the Director of the Division of Aging, the Respite Care Service Consultant in the Division of Aging, and the Area Agencies on Aging, after these entities have considered utilization of services, patient age, marital status, caregiver capacities, dependency, disease and mental status data on clients served by the programs. These data shall be provided annually to the Area Agencies on Aging by all respite care service providers.

"§ 115C-174.11. Components of the testing program.-(a) Annual Testing Program. In order to assess the effectiveness of the educational process, and to ensure that each pupil receives the maximum educational benefit from the educational process, the State Board of Education shall implement an annual statewide testing program in basic subjects. It is the purpose of this testing program to help local school systems and teachers identify and correct student needs in basic skills rather than to provide a tool for comparison of individual students or to evaluate teacher performance. The annual testing program shall be conducted each school year for the first, second, third, sixth and eighth grades. Students in these grade levels who are enrolled in special education programs or who have been officially designated as eligible for participation in such programs may be excluded from the testing program if special testing procedures are required for testing such students. The State Board of Education shall select annually the type or types of tests to be used in the testing program.

(1)       The State Board of Education shall adopt tests or other measurement devices which may be used to assure that graduates of the public high schools and graduates of nonpublic schools supervised by the State Board of Education pursuant to the provisions of Part 1 of Article 39 of this Chapter possess the skills and knowledge necessary to function independently and successfully in assuming the responsibilities of citizenship.

(2)       The tests shall be administered annually to all tenth grade students in the public schools. Students who fail to attain the required minimum standard for graduation in the tenth grade shall be given remedial instruction and additional opportunities to take the test up to and including the last month of the twelfth grade.

Students in the tenth grade who are enrolled in special education programs or who have been officially designated as eligible for participation in such programs may be excluded from the testing programs.

(3)       The State Board of Education may develop and validate alternate means and standards for demonstrating minimum competence. These standards, which must be more difficult than the tests adopted pursuant to subdivision (1) of this subsection, may be passed by students in lieu of the testing requirement of subdivision (2) of this subsection.

(4)       Funds appropriated for the purpose of remediation support for students who fail the high school competency test shall be distributed in accordance with rules promulgated by the State Board of Education. The State Board of Education shall allocate remediation funds to institutions administered by the Department of Human Resources on the same basis as funds allocated to other local education agencies.

(c)       Competency Based Curriculum Testing. In order to provide achievement information and educational accountability as part of the Basic Education Program, the State Board of Education may acquire, in the most cost-efficient manner, achievement tests and test information to evaluate achievement in those grades and courses as specified in the Basic Education Program. Information from these tests may be used as one criterion by teachers and local school personnel in arriving at student grades and in making administrative decisions.

"§ 115C-174.12. Responsibilities of agencies.-(a)       The State Board of Education shall review the recommendations of the Commission on Testing and select the tests that it believes will provide the best measures of the levels of academic achievement attained by students in various subject areas.

Sec. 182.  (a)       The State of North Carolina received oil overcharge funds in the case of United States v.

Exxon the sum of one million dollars ($1,000,000) for the 1986-87 fiscal year to the Low Income Weatherization Program and the sum of six hundred forty thousand dollars ($640,000) for low income energy assistance payments in the Low Income Energy Block Grant Program. These funds shall be disbursed and spent in accordance with applicable federal court orders and other related federal law and regulations. All funds received in the case of United States v. Exxon and any remaining interest or investment funds earned on account of these funds are appropriated to the Special Reserve for Oil Overcharge Funds. Also, all funds received by the State of North Carolina during the 1986-87 fiscal year in other oil overcharge cases to afford restitution to the citizens of the State are appropriated to the Special Reserve for Oil Overcharge Funds. Funds from the special reserve may be expended only as authorized by the General Assembly.

Sec. 206.  (a)       It is the intent of the General Assembly to operate a prison system that complies with all provisions of the State and federal constitutions and to continue to protect the people of the State from those who refuse to obey the rules of society.  The General Assembly finds that two million five hundred thousand dollars ($2,500,000), in addition to other funds that have been appropriated for the prison system, may be needed to accomplish this intent and is the maximum amount that can be reasonably spent in an orderly fashion during the 1986-87 fiscal year. Therefore, funds are appropriated in Section 2 of this act in the sum of two million five hundred thousand dollars ($2,500,000) to a Reserve for Prison Needs.

(b)       Funds from this reserve shall be spent to purchase land in Buncombe County for Craggy Prison, to renovate and operate a facility for female minimum custody inmates in Building A at Cherry Hospital, to reduce the caseload of probation and parole officers as provided in subsection (c) of this section, and to operate the Cameron Morrison facility as provided in Section 208 of this act. Funds in this reserve not needed for these purposes shall be spent as directed by the General Assembly.

(c)       Of the funds in the Reserve for Prison Needs, up to one million one hundred thousand dollars ($1,100,000) may be used to reduce the caseload of probation officers and parole officers by adding the following new positions in the Department of Correction:

(1)       Effective October 1, 1986, 26 probation officers, 4 parole officers in prerelease and aftercare, and 4 support personnel positions.

(2)       Effective February 1, 1987, 26 additional probation officers, 4 additional parole officers in prerelease and aftercare, and 4 additional support personnel positions.

The Department may not assign any of the probation officers or parole officers for which funds are provided in this section to supervisory positions. Also, no additional supervisory positions may be created that decrease the number of currently established probation officer or parole officer positions.

The General Assembly finds that this is the maximum number of probation and parole officers and support personnel that can be hired and used effectively before the convening of the regular 1987 Session of the General Assembly. The General Assembly intends to reexamine the issue of probation and parole officers' caseloads early in the 1987 Session and to allocate additional funds from the reserve to further reduce probation and parole officers' caseloads if necessary and appropriate. ---RENOVATION AND USE OF BUILDING A AT CHERRY HOSPITAL

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, to the extent practical, the Department shall use inmate labor and force account labor to renovate Building A at Cherry Hospital.

(b)       Building A is transferred from the Department of Human Resources to the Department of Correction, Division of Prisons, effective on the date renovations or the designs for renovations begin. On or before that date, the Department of Human Resources shall close the building and may not expend any funds to continue its operations after that date.
