(a)
It is found and determined that the continued operations of the Title XX Services Program of the Department of Human Services, in accordance with the approved annual operations plan, are, from time to time, seriously impaired by either administrative oversights and delays by the United States Office of Grants Management or by the processes of federal fiscal year conversion. It is further found and determined that such delays in the proper preparation and transmittal of federal grant award authorizations and letter of credit instruments have created unnecessary hardships on the providers of services and the needy citizens of this state. Therefore, upon certification of the pending availability of federal funding by the Secretary of the Department of Human Services, the Chief Fiscal Officer of the State may grant temporary advances, the maximum amount not to exceed five million dollars ($5,000,000), from the Budget Stabilization Trust Fund to the appropriate account of the Department of Human Services so affected by such delays.
(b)
The Chief Fiscal Officer of the State shall recover within a period of twenty (20) days such temporary advances upon receipt of the grant award authorizations or letter of credit instruments.

(a)
It is found and determined that certain rules and regulations of the Social Security Administration and the Internal Revenue Service require the deduction of Federal Insurance Contributions Act and federal income tax withholding from persons providing services under individual purchase-of-service contracts, who are in fact independent contractors, or employees of the person receiving the service, and that there is presently no provision for payment of Federal Insurance Contributions Act and federal income tax withholding for these individuals. It is further found and determined that the use of individual contracts is necessary to the operation of the Title XIX and Title XX programs, particularly in the areas of day care and services to the elderly. Therefore, whenever the regulations of the Social Security Administration or the Internal Revenue Service require the deduction of Federal Insurance Contributions Act or federal income tax withholding for an individual providing services under a Title XX individual purchase-of-service contract, the Department of Human Services may pay the necessary Federal Insurance Contributions Act tax out of federal funds and state or local donated matching funds and may collect the necessary Federal Insurance Contributions Act and federal income tax withholding as agent for the client receiving the services.
(b)
Individuals for whom Federal Insurance Contributions Act tax is paid and Federal Insurance Contributions Act and federal income tax withholding is deducted under this section shall not be considered as employees of the state for the purposes of determining eligibility for unemployment compensation or workers' compensation, for the purpose of state income tax withholding, or for any other purposes.

(a)
(1)
The Secretary of the Department of Human Services, in accordance with rules established by the Chief Fiscal Officer of the State, shall have the authority to transfer funds and appropriations from the appropriate division of the Department of Human Services to the various agencies of the department which receive allotments of Title XX funds. These transfers shall be limited to the allotment of funds available to each agency within the department.

(B)
It is further intended that if transfer of appropriations among line items appropriated to the appropriate division of the department becomes necessary for effective operation of the program, these shall be made in accordance with rules established by the Chief Fiscal Officer of the State. However, no such transfer will be used to increase authorization for regular salaries.
(b)
The Chief Fiscal Officer of the State and the secretary shall cooperate to establish such fund accounts for deposit and disbursement of federal and local Title XX funds as are necessary for the orderly operation of a Title XX services program. The Chief Fiscal Officer of the State and the secretary shall establish procedures for the transfers of funds necessary to make reimbursement to providers or to agency fund accounts in payment for eligible services. These procedures will include provision for use of state matching funds where appropriated by law.
