SECTION 6.13.(b) The Office of State Personnel shall adopt a policy implementing the relevant portions of G.S. 143C 6 8, as amended by this section, for State employees.
SECTION 6.13.(c) This section becomes effective September 1, 2012.
MANAGEMENT FLEXIBILITY REDUCTIONS TO ENSURE ADEQUATE FUNDS ARE AVAILABLE TO COVER MEDICAID SHORTFALLS
SECTION 6.14.(a) The General Assembly finds that:
(1) In recent fiscal years, Medicaid program costs have grown disproportionately more than the remainder of the State budget.
(2) Addressing large and frequent Medicaid program shortfalls has required the reallocation of funds that could have been used for other purposes.
(3) To cover an early draw down of Medicaid funds during the 2009 2010 fiscal year, the 2011 General Assembly was required to make an additional one hundred twenty five million dollars ($125,000,000) available to the Medicaid program.
(4) To cover a shortfall in the 2011 2012 Medicaid budget, the 2012 Session of the 2011 General Assembly was required to appropriate additional funds for the Medicaid program.
(5) To ensure that adequate funds are available to cover any potential shortfall in the 2012 2013 Medicaid budget, it is necessary to implement management flexibility reductions across State government.
SECTION 6.14.(b) In order to provide adequate funds to cover any potential shortfall in the 2012 2013 Medicaid budget while minimizing the impact on State government services, the Director of the Budget shall ensure that cost savings required through the management flexibility reductions in this act are realized so that at least fifty percent (50%) of the cost savings are realized by December 31, 2012.
