This appropriation includes $25,500,000 in

year 2015 for student tuition relief. The
Board of Trustees may not set the tuition
rate in any undergraduate degree-granting
program for the 2013-2014 and 2014-2015
academic years at a rate greater than the
2012-2013 academic year rate. The student
tuition relief may not be offset by increases
in mandatory fees, charges, or other
assessments to the student.

To the extent that appropriations under
this subdivision are insufficient to meet
obligations contained in a labor deleted text begin or program
deleted text end contract, the Board of Trustees shall fund
those obligations through reductions in costs
deleted text begin associated with central administration of
the system and executive administration of
individual campuses,deleted text end or through reallocation
of deleted text begin nonstatedeleted text end funds received by the system.
new text begin In the event layoffs are necessary to meet
these obligations, Minnesota State Colleges
and Universities will reduce personnel in
accordance with Minnesota Statutes, section
43A.046.
new text end

These outstanding obligations may not be
funded through reduction in any program or
service that directly impacts students or that
is newly-authorized by the legislature for the
2014-2015 biennium, or through increased
fees or costs directly assessed to students.

$17,000,000 in fiscal year 2014 is for
retention of talented faculty and staff. No
later than April 1, 2014, the Board of Trustees
must report to the legislative committees with
jurisdiction over higher education finance
and policy on the expenditure of these funds.

The report must include:

(1) the aggregate number of positions retained
systemwide, and by individual campus;

(2) the criteria used to determine whether a
position qualified for retention funds from
this appropriation;

(3) the allocation of this appropriation
among employment categories including,
but not limited to, central administrative
staff, executive administration on individual
campuses, directors or chairs of individual
programs and departments, faculty, academic
support and student services staff, auxiliary
services, and other employment categories as
appropriate, and the average compensation
increase for positions within each category;

(4) an itemized accounting of this
appropriation's allocation by individual
employment position, including each
position's job title, the full compensation
and benefit structure for that position before
and after this appropriation is allocated,
the percent increase in compensation and
benefits for that position as a result of
this appropriation, and data comparing the
compensation and benefit structure offered
with similar positions at peer institutions; and

(5) the number of talented faculty and staff
positions targeted for retention that were not
able to be retained, and the reasons those
positions were not retained.

$18,000 each year is for transfer to the Cook
County Higher Education Board to provide
educational programming and academic
support services to remote regions in
northeastern Minnesota. This appropriation
is in addition to the $102,000 per fiscal year
this project currently receives. The project
shall continue to provide information to the
Board of Trustees on the number of students
served, credit hours delivered, and services
provided to students. The base appropriation
under this paragraph is $120,000 each year.

$7,278,000 in fiscal year 2015 is for a
leveraged equipment program. For the
purpose of this section, "equipment" means
equipment for instructional purposes for
programs that the board determines would
produce graduates with skills for which there
is a high employer need within the state. An
equipment acquisition may be made under
this appropriation only if matched by cash or
in-kind contributions from nonstate sources.

No later than January 15, 2015, the Board
of Trustees shall submit a report to the
legislative committees with oversight over
higher education finance and policy on the
expenditure of these funds to date. The
reports must also list each donor, and the
amount contributed by the donor, or in the
case of an in-kind contribution, the nature
and value of the contribution, received to
date for purposes of the required match.

$50,000 in fiscal year 2014 is to convene
a mental health issues summit. This is a
onetime appropriation.

Five percent of the fiscal year 2015
appropriation in this subdivision is available

Trustees of the Minnesota State Colleges and
Universities (MnSCU) demonstrates to the
commissioner of management and budget
that the board has met at least three of the
following five performance goals:

(1) increase by at least four percent in
fiscal year 2013, compared to fiscal year
2010, graduates or degrees, diplomas, and
certificates conferred;

(2) increase by at least one percent the fall
2013 persistence and completion rate for fall
2012 entering students compared to the fall
2010 rate for fall 2009 entering students;

(3) increase by at least four percent the fiscal
year 2013 related employment rate for 2012
graduates compared to the 2011 rate for 2010
graduates;

(4) by 2014, MnSCU must collect data on
the number of Open Educational Resources
(OER) tools and services offered and
formulate a plan to actualize a one percent
reduction in expenses directly related to the
cost of instruction incurred by students; and

(5) reallocate $22,000,000 that became
available through expense realignment in
fiscal year 2014.

"Open Educational Resources" includes,

guides, worksheets, journals, video, audio
recordings, massive open online courses, or
other innovative course configuration.

"Cost of instruction" means average tuition,
average fees, average cost to student for
textbooks and related course material.

By August 1, 2013, the Board of Trustees
and the Minnesota Office of Higher
Education must agree on specific numerical
indicators and definitions for each of the five
goals that will be used to demonstrate the
Minnesota State Colleges and Universities'
attainment of each goal. On or before April
1, 2014, the Board of Trustees must report
to the legislative committees with primary
jurisdiction over higher education finance and
policy the progress of the Minnesota State
Colleges and Universities toward attaining
the goals. The appropriation base for the
next biennium shall include appropriations
not made available under this subdivision for
failure to meet performance goals.

standards necessary for graduation. Average daily membership for a pupil shall equal the
number of hours of teacher contact time and independent study time divided by 1,020.

authority, if approved, first becomes payable. Only one election to approve an increase
may be held in a calendar year. Unless the referendum is conducted by mail under
subdivision 11, paragraph (a), the referendum must be held on the first Tuesday after the
first Monday in November. The ballot must state the maximum amount of the increased
revenue per adjusted pupil unit. The ballot may state a schedule, determined by the board,
of increased revenue per adjusted pupil unit that differs from year to year over the number
of years for which the increased revenue is authorized or may state that the amount shall
increase annually by the rate of inflation. For this purpose, the rate of inflation shall be the

"Shall the increase in the revenue proposed by (petition to) the board of .........,
School District No. .., be approved?"

Section 1.

Minnesota Statutes 2012, section 124D.522, is amended to read:


124D.522 ADULT BASIC EDUCATION SUPPLEMENTAL SERVICE
GRANTS.

(a) The commissioner, in consultation with the policy review task force under
section 124D.521, may make grants to nonprofit organizations to provide services that
are not offered by a district adult basic education program or that are supplemental to
either the statewide adult basic education program, or a district's adult basic education
program. The commissioner may make grants for: staff development for adult basic
education teachers and administrators; training for volunteer tutors; training, services, and
materials for serving disabled students through adult basic education programs; statewide
promotion of adult basic education services and programs; development and dissemination
of instructional and administrative technology for adult basic education programs;
programs which primarily serve communities of color; adult basic education distance
learning projects, including television instruction programs; and other supplemental
services to support the mission of adult basic education and innovative delivery of adult
basic education services.

(b) The commissioner must establish eligibility criteria and grant application
procedures. Grants under this section must support services throughout the state, focus on
educational results for adult learners, and promote outcome-based achievement through
adult basic education programs. Beginning in fiscal year 2002, the commissioner may
make grants under this section from the state total adult basic education aid set aside for
supplemental service grants under section 124D.531. Up to one-fourth of the appropriation
for supplemental service grants must be used for grants for adult basic education programs
to encourage and support innovations in adult basic education instruction and service
delivery. A grant to a single organization cannot exceed deleted text begin 20deleted text end new text begin 40new text end percent of the total
supplemental services aid. Nothing in this section prevents an approved adult basic
education program from using state or federal aid to purchase supplemental services.

Sec. 2.

Minnesota Statutes 2013 Supplement, section 256B.04, subdivision 21, is
amended to read:


Subd. 21.

Provider enrollment.

(a) If the commissioner or the Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid Services determines that a provider is designated "high-risk," the
commissioner may withhold payment from providers within that category upon initial
enrollment for a 90-day period. The withholding for each provider must begin on the date
of the first submission of a claim.

(b) An enrolled provider that is also licensed by the commissioner under chapter
245Anew text begin or that is licensed by the Department of Health under chapter 144A and has a
HCBS designation on the home care licensenew text end must designate an individual as the entity's
compliance officer. The compliance officer must:

(1) develop policies and procedures to assure adherence to medical assistance laws
and regulations and to prevent inappropriate claims submissions;

(2) train the employees of the provider entity, and any agents or subcontractors of
the provider entity including billers, on the policies and procedures under clause (1);

(3) respond to allegations of improper conduct related to the provision or billing of
medical assistance services, and implement action to remediate any resulting problems;

(4) use evaluation techniques to monitor compliance with medical assistance laws
and regulations;

(5) promptly report to the commissioner any identified violations of medical
assistance laws or regulations; and

(6) within 60 days of discovery by the provider of a medical assistance
reimbursement overpayment, report the overpayment to the commissioner and make
arrangements with the commissioner for the commissioner's recovery of the overpayment.

The commissioner may require, as a condition of enrollment in medical assistance, that a
provider within a particular industry sector or category establish a compliance program that
contains the core elements established by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

(c) The commissioner may revoke the enrollment of an ordering or rendering
provider for a period of not more than one year, if the provider fails to maintain and, upon
request from the commissioner, provide access to documentation relating to written orders
or requests for payment for durable medical equipment, certifications for home health
services, or referrals for other items or services written or ordered by such provider, when
the commissioner has identified a pattern of a lack of documentation. A pattern means a
failure to maintain documentation or provide access to documentation on more than one
occasion. Nothing in this paragraph limits the authority of the commissioner to sanction a
provider under the provisions of section 256B.064.

(d) The commissioner shall terminate or deny the enrollment of any individual or
entity if the individual or entity has been terminated from participation in Medicare or
under the Medicaid program or Children's Health Insurance Program of any other state.

(e) As a condition of enrollment in medical assistance, the commissioner shall
require that a provider designated "moderate" or "high-risk" by the Centers for Medicare
and Medicaid Services or the commissioner permit the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid
Services, its agents, or its designated contractors and the state agency, its agents, or its
designated contractors to conduct unannounced on-site inspections of any provider location.
The commissioner shall publish in the Minnesota Health Care Program Provider Manual a
list of provider types designated "limited," "moderate," or "high-risk," based on the criteria
and standards used to designate Medicare providers in Code of Federal Regulations, title
42, section 424.518. The list and criteria are not subject to the requirements of chapter 14.
The commissioner's designations are not subject to administrative appeal.

(f) As a condition of enrollment in medical assistance, the commissioner shall
require that a high-risk provider, or a person with a direct or indirect ownership interest in
the provider of five percent or higher, consent to criminal background checks, including
fingerprinting, when required to do so under state law or by a determination by the
commissioner or the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services that a provider is
designated high-risk for fraud, waste, or abuse.

(g)(1) Upon initial enrollment, reenrollment, and revalidation, all durable medical
equipment, prosthetics, orthotics, and supplies (DMEPOS) suppliers operating in
Minnesota and receiving Medicaid funds must purchase a surety bond that is annually
renewed and designates the Minnesota Department of Human Services as the obligee, and
must be submitted in a form approved by the commissioner.

(2) At the time of initial enrollment or reenrollment, the provider agency must
purchase a performance bond of $50,000. If a revalidating provider's Medicaid revenue
in the previous calendar year is up to and including $300,000, the provider agency must
purchase a performance bond of $50,000. If a revalidating provider's Medicaid revenue
in the previous calendar year is over $300,000, the provider agency must purchase a
performance bond of $100,000. The performance bond must allow for recovery of costs
and fees in pursuing a claim on the bond.

(h) The Department of Human Services may require a provider to purchase a
performance surety bond as a condition of initial enrollment, reenrollment, reinstatement,
or continued enrollment if: (1) the provider fails to demonstrate financial viability, (2) the
department determines there is significant evidence of or potential for fraud and abuse by
the provider, or (3) the provider or category of providers is designated high-risk pursuant
to paragraph (a) and as per Code of Federal Regulations, title 42, section 455.450. The
performance bond must be in an amount of $100,000 or ten percent of the provider's
payments from Medicaid during the immediately preceding 12 months, whichever is
greater. The performance bond must name the Department of Human Services as an
obligee and must allow for recovery of costs and fees in pursuing a claim on the bond.

(a) To be eligible for guardianship
assistance under this section, there must be a judicial determination under section
260C.515, subdivision 4, that a transfer of permanent legal and physical custody to a
relative is in the child's best interest. For a child under jurisdiction of a tribal court, a
judicial determination under a similar provision in tribal code indicating that a relative
will assume the duty and authority to provide care, control, and protection of a child who
is residing in foster care, and to make decisions regarding the child's education, health
care, and general welfare until adulthood, and that this is in the child's best interest is
considered equivalent. Additionally, a child must:

(1) have been removed from the child's home pursuant to a voluntary placement
agreement or court order;

(3) meet the agency determinations regarding permanency requirements in
subdivision 2;

(4) meet the applicable citizenship and immigration requirements in subdivision 3;

(5) have been consulted regarding the proposed transfer of permanent legal and
physical custody to a relative, if the child is at least 14 years of age or is expected to attain
14 years of age prior to the transfer of permanent legal and physical custody; and

(6) have a written, binding agreement under section 256N.25 among the caregiver or
caregivers, the financially responsible agency, and the commissioner established prior to
transfer of permanent legal and physical custody.

(b) In addition to the requirements in paragraph (a), the child's prospective relative
custodian or custodians must meet the applicable background study requirements in
subdivision 4.

(c) To be eligible for title IV-E guardianship assistance, a child must also meet any
additional criteria in section 473(d) of the Social Security Act. The sibling of a child
who meets the criteria for title IV-E guardianship assistance in section 473(d) of the
Social Security Act is eligible for title IV-E guardianship assistance if the child and
sibling are placed with the same prospective relative custodian or custodians, and the
legally responsible agency, relatives, and commissioner agree on the appropriateness of
the arrangement for the sibling. A child who meets all eligibility criteria except those
specific to title IV-E guardianship assistance is entitled to guardianship assistance paid
through funds other than title IV-E.

Negotiation of agreement.

(a) When a child is determined to be eligible
for guardianship assistance or adoption assistance, the financially responsible agency, or,
if there is no financially responsible agency, the agency designated by the commissioner,
must negotiate with the caregiver to develop an agreement under subdivision 1. If and when
the caregiver and agency reach concurrence as to the terms of the agreement, both parties
shall sign the agreement. The agency must submit the agreement, along with the eligibility
determination outlined in sections 256N.22, subdivision 7, and 256N.23, subdivision 7, to

child's level has changed, the financially responsible agency or, if there is no financially
responsible agency, the agency designated by the commissioner or the commissioner's
