A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO AMEND THE LAW REGARDING FACILITIES PAID FOR FROM WILLIE M. FUNDS THAT CAN NO LONGER BE USED FOR WILLIE M. PROGRAMS.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  Section 82(b) of Chapter 500 of the 1989 Session Laws reads as rewritten:
"(b)	Funds for Department of Human Resources.  It is the intent of the General Assembly that funds appropriated in Section 5 of this act to the Department of Human Resources for serving members of the Willie M. Class be expended only for programs serving members of the Willie M. Class identified in Willie M., et al. vs. Martin, et al., formerly Willie M., et al. vs. Hunt, et al., including evaluations of potential class members.  It is recognized that therapeutic or economic reasons may, at times, require certain of these services to serve a mixed clientele of Willie M. Class members and other clients.  To the maximum extent possible, however, these funds shall be expended solely for the benefit of Willie M. Class members; except that this limitation shall not apply when facilities that have been acquired with Willie M. funds can no longer practicably be used to serve Willie M. Class members. The Department shall reallocate these funds among services to Willie M. Class members during the year as it deems advisable in order to use the funds efficiently in providing appropriate services to Willie M. Class children."
Sec. 2.  This act is effective upon ratification.
