These funds shall be used to provide additional services and programs for persons with developmental disabilities in order to eliminate the Developmental Disabilities Services Division Waiting List for all people waiting as of May 1, 2022, and to implement a twenty-five percent (25%) increase in rates for all services within the Home and Community–Based Services Waivers to ensure access to services for people with developmental disabilities and those served through the ADvantage Waiver.

SECTION 8. A. The Director of the Office of Management and Enterprise Services shall transfer monies appropriated from the General Revenue Fund to the Department of Human Services' disbursing funds in the amounts and ratios requested by the agency except that the cumulative amount transferred shall not exceed the cumulative amount of equal monthly allotments of the appropriations from the General Revenue Fund.
B. Monies appropriated or collected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023, may be transferred to these disbursing funds for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022, to satisfy encumbrances and obligations of the fiscal year; provided, that monies equal in amount are transferred from appropriations or collections for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022, to the disbursing funds for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023, to satisfy encumbrances and obligations of the fiscal year. All transfer requests shall be in writing to the Director of the Office of Management and Enterprise Services.
C. The Department of Human Services shall maintain records of such interyear transfers.
SECTION 9. The Director of Human Services may request the Director of the Office of Management and Enterprise Services to transfer monies between the Department of Human Services Support Service Providers Grant Program Fund and the Human Services Disbursing Fund or the Department of Human Services Medical and Assistance Fund, as needed for the expenditure of funds.
SECTION 10. Appropriations made by Enrolled Senate Bill No. 1040 of the 2nd Session of the 58th Oklahoma Legislature, not including appropriations made for capital outlay purposes, may be budgeted for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023 (hereafter FY–23), or may be budgeted for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024 (hereafter FY–24). Funds budgeted for FY–23 may be encumbered only through June 30, 2023, and must be expended by November 15, 2023. Any funds remaining after November 15, 2023, and not budgeted for FY–24, shall lapse to the credit of the proper fund for the then current fiscal year. Funds budgeted for FY–24 may be encumbered only through June 30, 2024. Any funds remaining after November 15, 2024, shall lapse to the credit of the proper fund for the then current fiscal year. These appropriations shall not be budgeted in both fiscal years simultaneously. Funds budgeted in FY–23, and not required to pay obligations for that fiscal year, may be budgeted for FY–24, after the agency to which the funds have been appropriated has prepared and submitted a budget work program revision removing these funds from the FY–23 budget work program and after such revision has been approved by the Office of Management and Enterprise Services.
Approved May 26, 2022.
