(c) "Emergency services" means services provided in a hospital that is equipped to furnish the required care, after the sudden onset of a medical condition manifesting itself by acute symptoms of sufficient severity (including severe pain) that the absence of immediate medical attention could reasonably be expected to result in:

(1) placing the patient's health in serious jeopardy;

(2) serious impairment to bodily functions; or

(3) serious dysfunction of any bodily organ or part.

(d) "Family planning service" and "family planning supply" has the meaning given in Minnesota Rules part 9505.0280, subpart 1.

The commissioner shall reduce medical assistance reimbursement for physician and dental services by the amount of the copayment required to be assessed.

(b) Recipients who are children, pregnant women, institutionalized, or enrolled in a managed care plan shall not be assessed copayments. No copayment shall be assessed for emergency services or family planning services or supplies.

Subd. 3. [FEDERAL WAIVER.] The commissioner shall seek a waiver from the federal Health Care Financing Administration of the federal regulation that copayments be nominal in order to implement this section. The commissioner shall notify the chairs of the human services committees of the senate and house of representatives when the waiver authorized by this section is received.

Van Dellen moved to amend H. F. No. 5, the second engrossment, as amended, as follows:

Page 50, after line 29, insert:

"Subd. 9. [TIME LIMIT ON AFDC BENEFITS.] (a) The commissioner of human services shall seek a waiver of the requirements of the program of aid to families with dependent children, in order to limit the time that an AFDC household can continue to receive assistance. This time limitation shall become effective on the first day of the first month after receipt of federal approval. All families receiving AFDC benefits on that date may continue to receive benefits for no more than 24 additional consecutive months. All households that become eligible on or after that date may receive benefits for no more than 24 months out of a 48-month period. Households who lose eligibility for benefits because of the time limits imposed under this waiver are eligible to apply after 36 months have elapsed since losing eligibility due to the time limits for an additional 24 months of benefits out of another 48-month period. Recipients that lose eligibility due to the time limits, but who otherwise would be eligible for medical assistance, must be provided continuing categorical eligibility for medical assistance during the 36-month period. The 36-month period begins to run on the first day of the month subsequent to the month in which the household lost benefits due to the time limit. After receiving federal approval for the waiver, and after its implementation under subdivision 12, the commissioner of finance, with the assistance of the commissioner of human services, must estimate the savings resulting from implementation of the waiver request by January 1, 1998, and by each January 1 thereafter, and must transfer this amount to an account in the general fund to be known as the "welfare dependency education account." Money in this account shall not cancel and shall be appropriated by the legislature for education purposes.

(b) The waiver request must provide that for each month that each person in the assistance household meets at least one of the following conditions, the household may receive an additional month of benefit payments and a one-month extension to the household's 24-month benefit period:

(1) the person receives a supplemental security income payment;

(2) the person is the head of the household, is not a legally responsible relative of a dependent child in the household, and is not included in determining the amount of the household's benefit;

(3) the person is under 18 years of age;

(4) the person is incapacitated or is needed in the home to care for another member of the household who is incapacitated;

(5) the person is needed in the home to care for a child who is under the age of three;

(6) the person requires child care assistance in order to participate in the STRIDE program, is subject to the employment and training requirements of the STRIDE program, and child care assistance is not available to the person for at least the number of hours specified in the person's employability plan; or

(7) the county agency determines, in accordance with rules promulgated by the commissioner, that unusual circumstances exist that warrant an additional month of benefit payments and an extension of the benefit period."

Page 42, after line 12, insert:

"Sec. 29. Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 256D.03, subdivision 4, is amended to read:

Subd. 4. [GENERAL ASSISTANCE MEDICAL CARE; SERVICES.] (a) For a person who is eligible under subdivision 3, paragraph (a), clause (3), general assistance medical care covers, except as provided in paragraph (c):

(1) inpatient hospital services;

(2) outpatient hospital services;

(3) services provided by Medicare certified rehabilitation agencies;

(16) day treatment services for mental illness provided under contract with the county board;

(17) prescribed medications for persons who have been diagnosed as mentally ill as necessary to prevent more restrictive institutionalization;

(18) case management services for a person with serious and persistent mental illness who would be eligible for medical assistance except that the person resides in an institution for mental diseases;

(19) psychological services, medical supplies and equipment, and Medicare premiums, coinsurance and deductible payments;

(20) medical equipment not specifically listed in this paragraph when the use of the equipment will prevent the need for costlier services that are reimbursable under this subdivision; and

(21) services performed by a certified pediatric nurse practitioner, a certified family nurse practitioner, a certified adult nurse practitioner, a certified obstetric/gynecological nurse practitioner, or a certified geriatric nurse practitioner in independent practice, if the services are otherwise covered under this chapter as a physician service, and if the service is within the scope of practice of the nurse practitioner's license as a registered nurse, as defined in section 148.171.

(b) Except as provided in paragraph (c), for a recipient who is eligible under subdivision 3, paragraph (a), clause (1) or (2), general assistance medical care covers the services listed in paragraph (a) with the exception of special transportation services.

(c) Gender reassignment surgery and related services are not covered services under this subdivision.

(d) In order to contain costs, the commissioner of human services shall select vendors of medical care who can provide the most economical care consistent with high medical standards and shall where possible contract with organizations on a prepaid capitation basis to provide these services. The commissioner shall consider proposals by counties and vendors for prepaid health plans, competitive bidding programs, block grants, or other vendor payment mechanisms designed to provide services in an economical manner or to control utilization, with safeguards to ensure that necessary services are provided. Before implementing prepaid programs in counties with a county operated or affiliated public teaching hospital or a hospital or clinic operated by the University of Minnesota, the commissioner shall consider the risks the prepaid program creates for the hospital and allow the county or hospital the opportunity to participate in the program in a manner that reflects the risk of adverse selection and the nature of the patients served by the hospital, provided the terms of participation in the program are competitive with the terms of other participants considering the nature of the population served. Payment for services provided pursuant to this subdivision shall be as provided to medical assistance vendors of these services under sections 256B.02, subdivision 8, and 256B.0625. For payments made during fiscal year 1990 and later years, the commissioner shall consult with an independent actuary in establishing prepayment rates, but shall retain final control over the rate methodology.

(d) (e) The commissioner of human services may reduce payments provided under sections 256D.01 to 256D.21 and 261.23 in order to remain within the amount appropriated for general assistance medical care, within the following restrictions.

For the period July 1, 1985 to December 31, 1985, reductions below the cost per service unit allowable under section 256.966, are permitted only as follows: payments for inpatient and outpatient hospital care provided in response to a primary diagnosis of chemical dependency or mental illness may be reduced no more than 30 percent; payments for all other inpatient hospital care may be reduced no more than 20 percent.

Page 29, after line 23, insert:

"Sec. 18. [256.7361][BONUS FOR SCHOOL ATTENDANCE.]

Subdivision 1. [WAIVER.] The commissioner of human services in consultation with the commissioner of education shall, through use of all necessary federal waivers, which shall be sought as part of the waiver package authorized by this article, establish a pilot program, in one or more counties to be selected by the commissioner, to provide bonuses and sanctions in accordance with this section, to encourage no more than 100 teenagers randomly selected, who are under the age of 20 and who are receiving AFDC, to receive a high school diploma or equivalency degree.

Subd. 2. [MANDATORY PARTICIPANTS.] The following individuals selected to participate in the pilot program who do not have a high school diploma or an equivalency degree, and are not exempt under subdivision 3, shall be required to participate in the program: (a) teenagers who are receiving assistance as part of an AFDC household; and (b) custodial parents under the age of 20.

Subd. 3. [EXEMPTIONS.] Teenagers are exempt from mandatory participation in the pilot when any of the following circumstances apply:

(1) The teen is pregnant and the pregnancy is in the third month or later;

(2) The teen is the primary caregiver of a child who is less than three months old;

(3) The child care needed by the teen to attend school is not available;

(4) The teen or the teen's child has an illness that is expected to last one month or longer;

(5) In the opinion of the county social worker, there are exceptional circumstances which make participation impossible.

Subd. 4. [ASSESSMENT.] All teens required to participate under subdivision 2 must attend an assessment interview. If the teen misses two scheduled assessments without good reason, the family will lose $65 of their AFDC grant for each month the teen fails to complete the required assessment.

Subd. 5. [SCHOOL ATTENDANCE REQUIRED; BONUS; SANCTION.] (a) All teens participating in the pilot are required to attend a school or education program leading to a high school diploma or equivalent in accordance with a plan developed during the assessment interview.

(b) All teens attending a regular high school or GED program under an education plan are eligible for an additional $65 for every month in which they have two or fewer unexcused absences and no more than four total absences.

(c) If a teen has more than two unexcused absences in a month, the family AFDC grant is reduced by $65.

(d) If a teen has two or fewer unexcused absences but more than four total absences, there is no bonus paid and no sanctions imposed.

Subd. 6. [EXCUSED ABSENCES.] Absence from school is excused in the following circumstances:

(1) the teen or the teen's child was ill, injured or incapacitated.

(2) The teen's normal child care arrangement was unavailable, and no alternative was available.

(3) The teen's normal transportation to school or child care was unavailable and no alternative was available.

(4) The teen or the teen's child had a scheduled or emergency appointment for medical, dental, or vision care.

(5) The teen was needed to care for an ill family member.

(6) A member of the teen's family died.

(7) The teen had a scheduled or emergency appointment at a court or social services agency.

(8) Other exceptional circumstances.

In addition, absences caused by an illness or injury of the teen or the teen's child are not counted if verified by a physician's statement.

Subd. 7. [SUPPORT SERVICES PROVIDED.] Teens participating in the project are entitled to child care as necessary to attend school. They must also be provided with transportation assistance for this purpose. Each teen shall be assigned to a case manager, who is responsible for helping the teen remove barriers to school attendance."

Onnen, Wenzel, Sviggum and Murphy moved to amend H. F. No. 5, the second engrossment, as amended, as follows:

Page 53, after line 29, insert:

"Section 1. [145.4245] [WOMAN'S RIGHT TO KNOW ACT.]

Subdivision 1. [DEFINITIONS.] As used in this act, the following terms have the meaning given:

(a) "Abortion" means the use or prescription of any instrument, medicine, drug, or any other substance or device intentionally to terminate the pregnancy of a female known to be pregnant, with an intention other than to increase the probability of a live birth, to preserve the life or health of the child after live birth, or to remove a dead unborn child.

(b) "Attempt to perform an abortion" means an act, or an omission of a statutorily required act, that, under the circumstances as the actor believes them to be, constitutes a substantial step toward, and more than preparation for, the performance of an abortion in Minnesota in violation of this act.

(c) "Medical emergency" means any condition which, on the basis of the physician's good faith clinical judgment, so complicates the medical condition of a pregnant female as to necessitate the immediate abortion of her pregnancy to avert her death or for which a delay will create serious risk of substantial and irreversible impairment of a major bodily function.

(d) "Physician" means a person licensed under chapter 147.

(e) "Probable gestational age of the unborn child" means what, in the judgment of the physician, will with reasonable probability be the gestational age of the unborn child at the time the abortion is planned to be performed.

Subd. 2. [INFORMED CONSENT.] No abortion shall be performed in this state except with the voluntary and informed consent of the female upon whom the abortion is to be performed. Except in the case of a medical emergency, consent to an abortion is voluntary and informed only if:

(a) The female is told the following, by telephone or in person, by the physician who is to perform the abortion or by a referring physician, at least 24 hours before the abortion:

(1) the name of the physician who will perform the abortion;

(2) the particular medical risks associated with the particular abortion procedure to be employed including, when medically accurate, the risks of infection, hemorrhage, breast cancer, danger to subsequent pregnancies, and infertility;

(3) the probable gestational age of the unborn child at the time the abortion is to be performed; and

(4) the medical risks associated with carrying her child to term.

The information required by this section may be provided by telephone without conducting a physical examination or tests of the patient, in which case the information required to be provided may be based on facts supplied the physician by the female and whatever other relevant information is reasonably available to the physician. It may not be provided by a tape recording, but must be provided during a consultation in which the physician is able to ask questions of the female and the female is able to ask questions of the physician. If a physical examination, tests, or the availability of other information to the physician subsequently indicate, in the medical judgment of the physician, a revision of the information previously supplied to the patient, that revised information may be communicated to the patient at any time prior to the performance of the abortion. Nothing in this section may be construed to preclude provision of required information in a language understood by the patient through a translator.

(b) The female is informed, by telephone or in person, by the physician who is to perform the abortion, by a referring physician, or by an agent of either physician at least 24 hours before the abortion:

(1) that medical assistance benefits may be available for prenatal care, childbirth, and neonatal care;

(2) that the father is liable to assist in the support of her child, even in instances in which the father has offered to pay for the abortion; and

(3) that she has the right to review the printed materials described in section 145.4246. The physician or the physician's agent shall orally inform the female the materials have been provided by the state of Minnesota and that they describe the unborn child and list agencies which offer alternatives to abortion. If the female chooses to view the materials, they shall either be given to her at least 24 hours before the abortion or mailed to her at least 72 hours before the abortion by certified mail, restricted delivery to addressee, which means the postal employee can only deliver the mail to the addressee.

The information required by this section may be provided by a tape recording if provision is made to record or otherwise register specifically whether the female does or does not choose to review the printed materials.

(c) The female certifies in writing, prior to the abortion, that the information described in this section has been furnished her, and that she has been informed of her opportunity to review the information referred to in paragraph (b).

(d) Prior to the performance of the abortion, the physician who is to perform the abortion or the physician's agent receives a copy of the written certification prescribed by paragraph (c).

Sec. 2. [145.4246] [PRINTED INFORMATION.]

Within 90 days after this act is enacted, the department of health shall cause to be published, in English and in each language which is the primary language of two percent or more of the state's population, the following printed materials in such a way as to ensure that the information is easily comprehensible:

(1) geographically indexed materials designed to inform the female of public and private agencies and services available to assist a female through pregnancy, upon childbirth, and while the child is dependent, including adoption agencies, which shall include a comprehensive list of the agencies available, a description of the services they offer, and a description of the manner, including telephone numbers, in which they might be contacted or, at the option of the department of health, printed materials including a toll-free, 24-hour a day telephone number which may be called to obtain, orally, such a list and description of agencies in the locality of the caller and of the services they offer; and

(2) materials designed to inform the female of the probable anatomical and physiological characteristics of the unborn child at two-week gestational increments from the time when a female can be known to be pregnant to full term, including any relevant information on the possibility of the unborn child's survival and pictures or drawings representing the development of unborn children at two-week gestational increments, provided that any such pictures or drawings must contain the dimensions of the unborn child and must be realistic and appropriate for the stage of pregnancy depicted. The materials shall be objective, nonjudgmental, and designed to convey only accurate scientific information about the unborn child at the various gestational ages. The material shall also contain objective information describing the methods of abortion procedures commonly employed, the medical risks commonly associated with each procedure, the possible detrimental psychological effects of abortion, and the medical risks commonly associated with each procedure and the medical risks commonly associated with carrying a child to term.

The materials referred to in this section must be printed in a typeface large enough to be clearly legible. The materials required under this section must be available at no cost from the department of health upon request and in appropriate number to any person, facility, or hospital.

Sec. 3. [145.4247] [PROCEDURE IN CASE OF MEDICAL EMERGENCY.]

When a medical emergency compels the performance of an abortion, the physician shall inform the female, prior to the abortion if possible, of the medical indications supporting the physician's judgment that an abortion is necessary to avert her death or that a 24-hour delay will create serious risk of substantial and irreversible impairment of a major bodily function.

Sec. 4. [145.4248] [REMEDIES.]

Subdivision 1. [CIVIL REMEDIES.] Any person upon whom an abortion has been performed or the parent of a minor upon whom an abortion has been performed may maintain an action against the person who performed the abortion in knowing or reckless violation of this act for actual and punitive damages. Punitive damages may be sought and awarded only as provided under sections 549.191 and 549.20. Any person upon whom an abortion has been attempted without complying with this act may maintain an action against the person who attempted to perform the abortion in knowing or reckless violation of this act for actual and punitive damages. Punitive damages may be sought and awarded only as provided under sections 549.191 and 549.20.

If judgment is rendered in favor of the plaintiff in any action described in this section, the court shall also render judgment for a reasonable attorney's fee in favor of the plaintiff against the defendant. The remedies provided by this subdivision are in addition to any other legal or equitable remedies the aggrieved party may have and are not intended to diminish or substitute for those remedies or to be exclusive.

Subd. 2. [PROTECTION OF PRIVACY IN COURT PROCEEDINGS.] In every civil action brought under this act, the court shall rule whether the anonymity of any female upon whom an abortion has been performed or attempted shall be preserved from public disclosure if she does not give her consent to such disclosure. The court, upon motion or sua sponte, shall make such a ruling and, upon determining that her anonymity should be preserved, shall issue orders to the parties, witnesses, and counsel and shall direct the sealing of the record and exclusion of individuals from courtrooms or hearing rooms to the extent necessary to safeguard her identity from public disclosure. Each order must be accompanied by specific written findings explaining why the anonymity of the female should be preserved from public disclosure, why the order is essential to that end, how the order is narrowly tailored to serve that interest,

and why no reasonable less restrictive alternative exists. In the absence of written consent of the female upon whom an abortion has been performed or attempted, anyone, other than a public official, who brings an action under section 145.4248, subdivision 1, shall do so under a pseudonym. This section may not be construed to conceal the identity of the plaintiff or of witnesses from the defendant.

Sec. 5. [145.4249] [SEVERABILITY.]

If any provision, word, phrase, or clause of this act or the application thereof to any person or circumstance is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect the provisions, words, phrases, clauses, or applications of this act which can be given effect without the invalid provision, word, phrase, clause, or application and to this end, the provisions, words, phrases, and clauses of this act are declared to be severable."

Pawlenty moved to amend H. F. No. 5, the second engrossment, as amended, as follows:

Page 43, after line 23, insert:

"Sec. 30. Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 256D.09, subdivision 2a, is amended to read:

Subd. 2a. [REPRESENTATIVE PAYEE VENDOR PAYMENTS FOR DRUG DEPENDENT PERSONS.] Notwithstanding subdivision 1, the commissioner shall adopt rules, and may adopt emergency rules, governing the assignment of a representative payee and management of the general assistance or work readiness assistance grant of a drug dependent person as defined in section 254A.02, subdivision 5. The representative payee is responsible for

deciding how the drug dependent person's benefits can best be used to meet that person's needs. The determination of drug dependency must be made by an assessor qualified under Minnesota Rules, part 9530.6615, subpart 2, to perform an assessment of chemical use. Upon receipt of the assessor's determination of drug dependency, the county shall determine whether a representative payee will be assigned to manage the person's benefits. The chemical use assessment, the decision to refer a person for the assessment, and the county determination of whether a representative payee will be assigned are subject to the administrative and judicial review provisions of section 256.045. However, notwithstanding any provision of section 256.045 to the contrary, an applicant or recipient who is referred for an assessment and is otherwise eligible to receive a general assistance or work readiness benefit, may only be provided with emergency general assistance or vendor payments pending the outcome of an administrative or judicial review. If, at the time of application or at any other time, there is a reasonable basis for questioning whether a person applying for or receiving a financial assistance or work readiness assistance grant is drug dependent, as defined in section 254A.02, subdivision 5, the person may be referred for a chemical health assessment, and only emergency assistance payments or general assistance vendor payments may be provided until the assessment is complete and the results of the assessment made available to the county agency. A reasonable basis for questioning whether a person is drug dependent referring an individual for an assessment exists when:

(1) the person has required detoxification two or more times in the past 12 months;

(2) the person appears intoxicated at the county agency as indicated by two or more of the following:

(i) the odor of alcohol;

(ii) slurred speech;

(iii) disconjugate gaze;

(iv) impaired balance;

(v) difficulty remaining awake;

(vi) consumption of alcohol;

(vii) responding to sights or sounds that are not actually present;

(viii) extreme restlessness, fast speech, or unusual belligerence;

(3) the person has been involuntarily committed for drug dependency at least once in the past 12 months; or

(4) the person has received treatment, including domiciliary care, for drug abuse or dependency at least twice in the past 12 months.

The assignment to representative payee status must be reviewed at least every 12 months. The county agency shall designate the representative payee after consultation with the recipient. The county agency shall select the representative payee from appropriate individuals, or public or nonprofit agencies, including those suggested by the recipient, but the county agency's designation of representative payee prevails, subject to the administrative and judicial review provisions of section 256.045.

The assessment and determination of drug dependency, if any, must be made by an assessor qualified under Minnesota Rules, part 9530.6615, subpart 2 to perform an assessment of chemical use. The county shall only provide emergency general assistance or vendor payments to an otherwise eligible applicant or recipient who is determined to be drug dependent, except up to 15 percent of the grant amount the person would otherwise receive may be paid in cash. Notwithstanding subdivisions 1 and 2, the commissioner of human services shall also require county agencies to provide assistance only in the form of vendor payments to all eligible recipients who assert chemical dependency as a basis for eligibility under section 256D.05, subdivision 1, paragraph (a), clauses (1) and (6).

The determination of drug dependency shall be reviewed at least every 12 months. If the county determines a recipient is no longer drug dependent, the county may cease vendor payments and provide the recipient payments in cash."
