     1  Notwithstanding  any  inconsistent provision of law, the funds appropri-
     2  ated herein  shall  be  available  for  reimbursement  of  local  social
     3  services  district  expenditures for the provision and administration of
     4  the  following  family  and  children's  services:  foster care services
     5  including expenditures for care, maintenance, supervision,  tuition  and
     6  independent  living  services;  supervision of foster children placed in

     7  federally funded job corps  programs;  care,  maintenance,  supervision,
     8  tuition, and independent living services for adjudicated juvenile delin-
     9  quents and persons in need of supervision placed in residential programs
    10  operated   by   authorized  agencies  and  in  out-of-state  residential
    11  programs; preventive services provided pursuant to section 409-a of  the
    12  social  services  law;  aftercare  services;  and  adoption services and
    13  administration other than adoption subsidies. Of the amount appropriated
    14  herein, state reimbursement to each local social  services  district  to
    15  cover  the  costs of those district expenditures for all such family and
    16  children's services identified herein that  are  otherwise  reimbursable
    17  shall be limited to the district's allocation, herein referred to as the
    18  district's  family  and children's services block grant allocation. Such

    19  allocation shall be based on the district's pro rata share of their  SFY
    20  2000-2001  family  and  children's  services  block grant allocation and
    21  shall be subject to the approval of the  director  of  the  budget.  The
    22  state  shall  not  be  responsible for reimbursing local social services
    23  districts for any portion of any federal or state sanctions or disallow-
    24  ances taken under federal or state law for such  family  and  children's
    25  services when such sanctions or disallowances result from the failure of
    26  the  local  social  services  districts  to comply with federal or state
    27  funding requirements including, but not limited to, failure to  document
    28  eligibility  for  federal  or  state funds in the case record; provided,
    29  however if the office  determines  that  any  federal  disallowance  for
    30  services  provided  January 1, 1999 and May 31, 1999 results solely from

    31  the late enactment of the state  legislation  implementing  the  federal
    32  adoption  and  safe  families act, the state shall be solely responsible
    33  for the full amount of the disallowance or sanction; provided,  further,
    34  however,  this provision shall be deemed to apply both prospectively and
    35  retroactively regardless of whether such sanctions or disallowances  for
    36  services  provided  or  claims  made  prior  to  or after April 1, 2001;
    37  provided further, however,  that  the  office  of  children  and  family
    38  services  shall  suspend  taking  state  sanctions  against local social
    39  services district for violations of the provisions of section  153-d  of
    40  the  social  services law for services provided from January 1, 1994 and
    41  thereafter and shall  discontinue  collecting  data  from  its  computer
    42  systems  and  reporting on each local social services district's compli-

    43  ance with such section during  the  suspension  period.  Nothing  herein
    44  shall  preclude  the office from continuing during the suspension period
    45  to conduct the monitoring activities authorized under other sections  of
    46  the  social  services law.  Funds appropriated herein may be used as the
    47  state share for federal title IV-B subpart 2 funds to  the  extent  that
    48  such  match  is determined jointly by the office and the director of the
    49  budget to be not otherwise available and  to  the  extent  permitted  by
    50  federal  law  and  regulations.    The  office, with the approval of the
    51  director of the budget, may reduce a district's block  grant  allocation
    52  by the state share decrease related to federal retroactive reimbursement
    53  for  family  and children's services.   The office, with the approval of
    54  the director of the budget, may reduce a district's  block  grant  allo-

    55  cation  by  the  state share of disallowances or sanctions taken against
    56  the district pursuant to social services law or federal law.
