Current through Register Vol. 43, No. 28, July 11, 2024
(a) Community
			 mental health centers may apply for state financing under L. 1987, Ch. 249,
			 Sections 1 through 12 by submitting an annual budget request to the secretary
			 of social and rehabilitation services.
(b) Budget requests shall be submitted to the
			 secretary by July 1 of each year unless a delay is granted in writing.
(c) Budgets shall be submitted on
			 forms and according to instructions prescribed by the secretary.
(d) When an existing program is adequately
			 serving a geographic area, a duplicate program shall not be requested in the
			 budget of a center. Reasonable efforts shall be made to make the existing
			 service available to all citizens in the area through contractual agreement
			 with the provider of the existing service, if necessary.
(e) When a new program is to be implemented
			 by a center, the center must notify the secretary 45 days in advance of program
			 initiation in order to receive approval as a non-duplicate program in the
			 center catchment area. In determining whether a new program duplicates an
			 existing program, the secretary will consider pre-existing programs in the
			 center catchment area and the availability of the pre-existing programs to all
			 groups of catchment area citizens.
(f) As soon as state appropriation bills are
			 signed into law, the amount available for each center that has submitted a
			 budget shall be determined by the secretary. The amount shall be equal to the
			 amount that the center's average grant would have been under the Kansas
			 community mental health assistance act for the fiscal years ending on June 30,
			 1986, June 30, 1987, and June 30, 1988, if such act had not been repealed and
			 if appropriations for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1988 to finance grants
			 under such act had remained constant from the previous fiscal year plus each
			 mental health center's pro rata share of any increase in moneys, including any
			 inflation adjustments, appropriated for such purpose. The amounts so determined
			 shall be paid to the centers in four payments on July 1, October 1, January 1
			 and April 1.
(g) Each center shall
			 submit a quarterly report within 30 working days after the end of each calendar
			 quarter. The report shall be on forms and in such detail as prescribed by the
			 secretary.
(h) Each center shall
			 file a copy of its annual audit report that has been certified by an
			 independent auditor.
(i)
			 Underpayments, overpayments or payments exceeding the maximum allowed by
			 statute shall be subtracted from or added to the payment made on April 1.
(j) The secretary may withdraw
			 funds from any center for one or more of the following reasons:
(1) not being substantially administered
			 according to the annual budget;
(2) loss of license granted in accordance
			 with the provisions of
			 K.S.A.
			 75-3307b and amendments thereto; or
(3) net loss in a new program
			 which did not receive approval by the secretary and which is found to be a
			 duplicate program within the center catchment area. The secretary shall verify
			 the amount of income and disbursements related to such programs in determining
			 any net loss with audits conducted by auditors of the department of social and
			 rehabilitation services. The amount withdrawn will be equal to the net loss of
			 the program determined after each 12 months of operation.
