service accounts shown below, and no other, to finance and account for the operations of state

associated with providing the services, and allocate the costs of central administrative services

26

across all fund types, so that federal and other non-general fund programs share in the costs of

     SECTION 5. Section 35-3-20 of the General Laws in Chapter 35-3 entitled "State Budget"

6

is hereby amended to read as follows:

7

     35-3-20. State budget reserve and cash stabilization account.

8

     (a) There is hereby created within the general fund a state budget reserve and cash

9

stabilization account, which shall be administered by the state controller and which shall be used

10

solely for the purpose of providing such sums as may be appropriated to fund any unanticipated

11

general revenue deficit caused by a general revenue shortfall.

12

     (b) In carrying out the provisions of § 35-3-20.1, the state controller shall, based on that

13

fiscal years estimate, transfer the amounts needed to fund cash requirements during the fiscal year;

14

the transfer shall be adjusted at the end of the fiscal year in order to conform to the requirements of

15

§ 35-3-20.1. To the extent that funds so transferred are not needed by the Rhode Island Capital Plan

16

fund the funds may be loaned back to the general fund.

17

     (c) For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009, whenever the aggregate of the monies and

18

securities held for the credit of the state budget reserve and cash stabilization account exceeds three

19

and four tenths of one percent (3.4%) of total fiscal year resources, consisting of the aggregate of

20

(1) actual revenues from taxes and other departmental general revenue sources; and (2) the general

21

revenue balance available for appropriations at the beginning of the fiscal year; the excess shall be

22

transferred to the Rhode Island Capital Plan fund, to be used solely for capital projects. Provided

23

further, the applicable percentage shall increase by four-tenths of one percent (.4%) for the

24

succeeding four (4) fiscal years as follows:

28

     Fiscal years ending June 30, 2013 and thereafter 5.0%

29

     (d) At any time after the third quarter of a fiscal year, that it is indicated that total resources

30

which are defined to be the aggregate of estimated general revenue, general revenue receivables,

31

and available free surplus in the general fund will be less than the estimates upon which current

32

appropriations were based, the general assembly may make appropriations from the state budget

33

reserve and cash stabilization account for the difference between the estimated total resources and

34

the original estimates upon which enacted appropriations were based, but only in the amount of the

 

LC002461 - Page 38 of 53

1

difference based upon the revenues projected at latest state revenue estimating conference pursuant

2

to chapter 16 of title 35 as reported by the chairperson of that conference.

3

     (e) Whenever a transfer has been made pursuant to subsection (d), that transfer shall be

4

considered as estimated general revenues for the purposes of determining the amount to be

5

transferred to the Rhode Island Capital Plan fund for the purposes of subsection 35-3-20.1(b).

6

     (f) Whenever a transfer has been made pursuant to subsection (d), the amount of the transfer

7

shall be transferred to the Rhode Island Capital Plan fund from funds payable into the general

8

revenue fund pursuant to § 35-3-20.1 in the fiscal year following the fiscal year in which the transfer

9

was made, except that in fiscal year 2010 there shall be no repayment of the amount transferred,

10

and the repayment shall be made in fiscal year 2011, and except that in fiscal year 2021,

11

$90,000,000 $7,500,000 of the repayment amount shall be transferred, and except that in fiscal year

12

2022, $42,500,000 of the repayment amount shall be transferred, and the remainder of the

13

repayment shall be made in fiscal year 2022 2023.

     (d) For purposes of this section the following words and phrases have the following

     (1) "Hospital" means the actual facilities and buildings in existence in Rhode Island,

24

licensed pursuant to § 23-17-1 et seq. on June 30, 2010, and thereafter any premises included on

26

conversions) and § 23-17-6(b) (change in effective control), that provides short-term acute inpatient

27

and/or outpatient care to persons who require definitive diagnosis and treatment for injury, illness,

28

disabilities, or pregnancy. Notwithstanding the preceding language, the negotiated Medicaid

29

managed care payment rates for a court-approved purchaser that acquires a hospital through

30

receivership, special mastership, or other similar state insolvency proceedings (which court-

31

approved purchaser is issued a hospital license after January 1, 2013) shall be based upon the newly

32

negotiated rates between the court-approved purchaser and the health plan, and such rates shall be

33

effective as of the date that the court-approved purchaser and the health plan execute the initial

34

agreement containing the newly negotiated rate. The rate-setting methodology for inpatient hospital

 

LC002461 - Page 41 of 53

1

payments and outpatient hospital payments set forth in §§ 40-8-13.4(b) and 40-8-13.4(b)(2),

2

respectively, shall thereafter apply to negotiated increases for each annual twelve-month (12)

9

any taxable year beginning on or after January 1, 2020, net patient-services revenue includes the

10

amount of any Payroll Protection Program loan forgiven for federal income tax purposes as

11

authorized by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act and/or the Consolidated

13

law, to the extent that the amount of loan forgiven exceeds $150,000 and to the extent the funds

14

from any Payroll Protection Program loan otherwise would be included in net patient-services

15

revenue of the Hospital by law.

16

     (e) The tax administrator shall make and promulgate any rules, regulations, and procedures

17

not inconsistent with state law and fiscal procedures that he or she deems necessary for the proper

32

promulgation of emergency rules and regulations under § 42-35-2.10. The provisions of this

33

subsection (8) shall sunset on December 31, 2021.; and

34

2

speaker of the house, senate president, and chairpersons of the house and senate finance

3

committees, is specifically authorized to exclude the amount of any Payroll Protection Program

5

Economic Security Act and/or the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, and/or any other

6

subsequent federal stimulus relief packages enacted by law, from state tax based on revenue

7

estimates in any given year.

8

     SECTION 3. Section 44-11-11 of the General Laws in Chapter 44-11 entitled “'Net

9

income’ defined” is hereby amended to read as follows:

10

     44-11-11. “Net income” defined.

     (ii) Any specific exemptions;

15

     (iii) The tax imposed by this chapter; and minus:

16

     (iv) For any taxable year beginning on or after January 1, 2020, the amount of any Payroll

17

23

     (v)(vi) The federal net operating loss deduction.

24

     (2) All binding federal elections made by or on behalf of the taxpayer applicable either

28

Revenue Code to be taken into taxable income in connection with the taxpayer's election of the

29

foreign tax credit.

30

     (b) A net operating loss deduction shall be allowed, which shall be the same as the net

31
