(b) Upon receiving federal approval, the department shall fully implement this section beginning with the 2010–11 fiscal year. The department shall perform all acts necessary to secure the maximum level of federal financial participation for payments resulting from the Nondesignated Public Hospital IGT Pool. The department shall make every effort to implement this section for the 2010–11 fiscal year so that all allocations will be determined, all intergovernmental transfers will be received by the state, and federal financial participation will be drawn in order for the department to make payments due to each nondesignated public hospital prior to July 1, 2011.
