The value of a schedule reduction day shall be one-tenth of the base biweekly pay for an employee on an annual twenty-six pay period schedule and the employee's pay shall be reduced accordingly as a voluntary schedule reduction day pursuant to section 5-248c of the general statutes. There shall be one schedule reduction day before June 30, 2009, [three] four schedule reduction days between July 1, 2009, and June 30, 2010, and [three] four schedule reduction days between July 1, 2010, and June 30, 2011. The schedule reduction days shall be accomplished as provided in this section.

(c) For an employee who cannot be assigned the fixed schedule reduction days set forth in subsection (b) of this section due to the unique and varied nature of the services provided by such employee:
(1) The appointing authority may vary the assignment of personnel and may grant alternate dates as schedule reduction days provided one schedule reduction day shall be taken on or before June 4, 2009. This obligation may be extended up to ninety days into the next fiscal year based upon operational need. [Three] Four schedule reduction days shall be taken between July 1, 2009, and June 30, 2010, and [three] four schedule reduction days shall be taken between July 1, 2010, and June 30, 2011.
(2) Appointing authorities shall work cooperatively with employees who are unable to take any fixed schedule reduction day set forth in subsection (b) of this section as one or more of such employee's schedule reduction days to come to an agreement on alternative schedule reduction days. For each such schedule reduction day, the employee shall take one day off, or equivalent hours, without pay. The scheduling of such days off shall be with the goal of avoiding any additional costs to the employer and the need to schedule replacement coverage.
(d) The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court may order judges of the superior court to take schedule reduction days in accordance with the provisions of this section.
(e) Any schedule reduction day provided for under this section during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009, shall be treated as a paid vacation day in the case of any full-time or part-time state employee, whether included or not included in any prevailing bargaining unit contract, if such employee took a voluntary unpaid schedule reduction day after January 13, 2009, but prior to the effective date of this section, except, if such employee in the executive or judicial branch who is unable to accrue a vacation day due to having the maximum number of vacation days such employee is permitted to accumulate pursuant to section 5-250 of the general statutes, then such employee shall be given a paid personal day for use during the calendar year. Such vacation day shall not be deducted from such employee's accrued vacation time. The provisions of this subsection shall not apply to employees of the legislative branch, however all such legislative employees shall be subject to a one-day salary reduction during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009.
(f) Notwithstanding subsection (a), (b) or (c) of this section, employees of the constituent units of higher education exempt from the classified service or not included in any prevailing bargaining unit contract shall be required to take three schedule reduction days between July 1, 2009, and June 30, 2010, and three schedule reduction days between July 1, 2010, and June 30, 2011. Such schedule reduction days may be taken on any of the days specified in subsection (b) of this section, or as provided under subsection (c) of this section.
Sec. 33. (Effective from passage) (a) Notwithstanding sections 12-3, 17a-9, 17a-452, 29-179i and 32-1d of the general statutes, the employment of each deputy commissioner of a state agency shall be terminated effective July 1, 2010, and no deputy commissioner position shall be filled or refilled prior to July 1, 2011.
(b) Any savings realized under subsection (a) of this section to an appropriated fund other than the General Fund shall be transferred and credited to the resources of the General Fund for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2010.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision of the general statutes or any public or special act, the state shall continue to provide coverage, under a group hospitalization and medical and surgical insurance plan sponsored by the state under section 5-259, for the dependents of any state employee and the state employee who is a member of the armed forces of any state or of any reserve component of the armed forces of the United States and who has been called to active service in the armed forces of any state or the United States for (1) Operation Enduring Freedom, (2) Operation Noble Eagle, (3) a related emergency operation or a military operation whose mission was substantially changed as a result of the attacks of September 11, 2001, (4) federal action or state action authorized by the Governor in support of the federal Department of Homeland Security's Operation Liberty Shield, military operations that are authorized by the President of the United States that entail military action against Iraq, or federal action or state action authorized by the Governor to combat terrorism within the United States, or (5) federal action or state action authorized by the Governor or the President of the United States that entails service or military action as part of Operation Jump Start at the border of the United States and Mexico, for the duration of such call-up to active service, provided such state employee and dependents were covered by the insurance plan on the date the state employee was called to active service and the state employee continues to pay any amount that the employee was required to pay for coverage before being called to active service. Any payment required to be made by the employee for coverage under this subsection may be deducted from compensation provided under subsection (c) of this section. The state shall reimburse any state employee who has paid premiums for the continuation of any such group hospitalization and medical and surgical insurance plan between the date such state employee was called to active service and November 20, 2001. The reimbursement shall be in the amount of the state's portion of the premiums so paid.
(c) Notwithstanding any provision of the general statutes or any public or special act, any state employee who is a member of the armed forces of any state or of any reserve component of the armed forces of the United States and who has been called to active service in the armed forces of any state or the United States for (1) Operation Enduring Freedom, (2) Operation Noble Eagle, (3) a related emergency operation or a military operation whose mission was substantially changed as a result of the attacks of September 11, 2001, (4) federal action or state action authorized by the Governor in support of the federal Department of Homeland Security's Operation Liberty Shield, military operations that are authorized by the President of the United States that entail military action against Iraq, or federal action or state action authorized by the Governor to combat terrorism within the United States, or (5) federal action or state action authorized by the Governor or the President of the United States that entails service or military action as part of Operation Jump Start at the border of the United States and Mexico, shall continue to accrue all vacation time, equivalent leave time and sick time to which the employee would be entitled if he or she had continued working in his or her state position during the time of such active service, and shall be credited with such accrued vacation time, equivalent leave time or sick time, except that if the accrual of such vacation time, equivalent leave time or sick time pursuant to this subsection while on active service would cause the employee to exceed any limit on leave time pursuant to any provision of the general statutes, the regulations of Connecticut state agencies or a collective bargaining agreement, the limit shall be temporarily waived to allow the employee to use the excess leave time before the later of the following: (A) From the date of the state employee's discharge from active service until the state employee returns to state employment, (B) not later than one hundred twenty calendar days after the state employee returns to state employment, (C) not later than one hundred twenty calendar days after the state employee is credited with such excess leave time, or (D) for state employees in teaching or professional positions in Unified School District #1 established pursuant to section 18-99a within the Department of Correction who were credited with equivalent leave time pursuant to this section, not later than one year after the employee is credited with such excess leave time. The employee shall be entitled to a leave of absence with pay as provided in section 27-33 from the date on which the employee was called to active service. After the expiration of such leave of absence with pay, the state employee shall receive part pay for the duration of such call-up to active service if the compensation received by the state employee for such active service is less than the employee's base rate of pay [, plus longevity,] in the employee's primary position. The state employee shall not be required to exhaust accrued vacation time, equivalent leave time or sick time in order to be eligible for the paid leave of absence and part pay under this subsection. As used in this section, "equivalent leave time" means leave time classified as other than vacation time or sick time and includes, but is not limited to, leave time classified as recess rather than vacation time.
(d) No state employee shall be deemed ineligible for any benefit under this section or under any other provision of this chapter solely because such employee's leave time is classified as recess or other equivalent leave time rather than vacation time pursuant to the provisions of a collective bargaining agreement, including a collective bargaining agreement covering a state employee in a teaching, instructional or professional position in the Unified School Districts 1, 2 or 3.

(b) Clinical policies, medical policies, clinical criteria or any other generally accepted clinical practice guidelines used to assist in evaluating the medical necessity of a requested health service shall be used solely as guidelines and shall not be the basis for a final determination of medical necessity.
(c) Upon denial of a request for authorization of services based on medical necessity, the individual shall be notified that, upon request, the Department of Social Services shall provide a copy of the specific guideline or criteria, or portion thereof, other than the medical necessity definition provided in subsection (a) of this section, that was considered by the department or an entity acting on behalf of the department in making the determination of medical necessity.

Eligibility criteria concerning income shall be the same as the medically needy component of the Medicaid program, except that earned monthly gross income of up to one hundred fifty dollars shall be disregarded. Unearned income shall not be disregarded. No person who has family assets exceeding one thousand dollars shall be eligible. No person shall be eligible for assistance under this section if such person made, during the three months prior to the month of application, an assignment or transfer or other disposition of property for less than fair market value. The number of months of ineligibility due to such disposition shall be determined by dividing the fair market value of such property, less any consideration received in exchange for its disposition, by five hundred dollars. Such period of ineligibility shall commence in the month in which the person is otherwise eligible for benefits. Any assignment, transfer or other disposition of property, on the part of the transferor, shall be presumed to have been made for the purpose of establishing eligibility for benefits or services unless such person provides convincing evidence to establish that the transaction was exclusively for some other purpose.
(b) Each person eligible for state-administered general assistance shall be entitled to receive medical care through a federally qualified health center or other primary care provider as determined by the commissioner. The Commissioner of Social Services shall determine appropriate service areas and shall, in the commissioner's discretion, contract with community health centers, other similar clinics, and other primary care providers, if necessary, to assure access to primary care services for recipients who live farther than a reasonable distance from a federally qualified health center. The commissioner shall assign and enroll eligible persons in federally qualified health centers and with any other providers contracted for the program because of access needs.

Ancillary services include, but are not limited to, radiology, laboratory, and other diagnostic services not available from a recipient's assigned primary care provider, and durable medical equipment. Specialty services are services provided by a physician with a specialty that are not included in ancillary services. Ancillary or specialty services provided under the program shall not exceed such services provided under the state-administered general assistance program on July 1, 2003, except for nonemergency medical transportation and vision care services which may be provided on a limited basis within available appropriations. Notwithstanding any provision of this subsection, the commissioner may provide, or require a contractor to provide, home health services or skilled nursing facility coverage for state-administered general assistance recipients being discharged from a chronic disease hospital when the provision of such services or coverage is determined to be cost effective by the commissioner.
(c) Pharmacy services shall be provided to recipients of state-administered general assistance through the federally qualified health center to which they are assigned or through a pharmacy with which the health center contracts. Recipients who are assigned to a community health center or similar clinic or primary care provider other than a federally qualified health center or to a federally qualified health center that does not have a contract for pharmacy services shall receive pharmacy services at pharmacies designated by the commissioner. The Commissioner of Social Services or the managed care organization or other entity performing administrative functions for the program as permitted in subsection (d) of this section, shall require prior authorization for coverage of drugs for the treatment of erectile dysfunction.

(d) The Commissioner of Social Services shall contract with federally qualified health centers or other primary care providers as necessary to provide medical services to eligible state-administered general assistance recipients pursuant to this section. The commissioner shall, within available appropriations, make payments to such centers based on their pro rata share of the cost of services provided or the number of clients served, or both. The Commissioner of Social Services shall, within available appropriations, make payments to other providers based on a methodology determined by the commissioner. The Commissioner of Social Services may reimburse for extraordinary medical services, provided such services are documented to the satisfaction of the commissioner. For purposes of this section, the commissioner may contract with a managed care organization or other entity to perform administrative functions, including a grievance process for recipients to access review of a denial of coverage for a specific medical service, and to operate the program in whole or in part. Provisions of a contract for medical services entered into by the commissioner pursuant to this section shall supersede any inconsistent provision in the regulations of Connecticut state agencies. A recipient who has exhausted the grievance process established through such contract and wishes to seek further review of the denial of coverage for a specific medical service may request a hearing in accordance with the provisions of section 17b-60.
(e) Each federally qualified health center participating in the program shall enroll in the federal Office of Pharmacy Affairs Section 340B drug discount program established pursuant to 42 USC 256b to provide pharmacy services to recipients at Federal Supply Schedule costs. Each such health center may establish an on-site pharmacy or contract with a commercial pharmacy to provide such pharmacy services.
(f) The Commissioner of Social Services shall, within available appropriations, make payments to hospitals for inpatient services based on their pro rata share of the cost of services provided or the number of clients served, or both. The Commissioner of Social Services shall, within available appropriations, make payments for any ancillary or specialty services provided to state-administered general assistance recipients under this section based on a methodology determined by the commissioner.

[The provisions of section 17b-8 shall apply to this section. If the commissioner fails to submit the application for the waiver to the joint standing committees of the General Assembly having cognizance of matters relating to human services and appropriations by February 1, 2010, the commissioner shall submit a written report to said committees not later than February 2, 2010. The report shall include, but not be limited to: (1) An explanation of the reasons for failing to seek the waiver; and (2) an estimate of the fiscal impact that would result from the approval of the waiver in one calendar year.] If such proposed amendment to the Medicaid state plan is approved by the federal government, the commissioner shall, not later than April 1, 2010, implement the changes as provided in the proposed amendment.
[(h) Upon approval of the waiver submitted pursuant to subsection (g) of this section, the commissioner may provide, or require a contractor, federally qualified health center or other provider to provide coverage for home care services, school-based services or other outpatient community-based services for state-administered general assistance recipients when the provision of such services or coverage is determined to be cost effective by the commissioner. The commissioner shall contract with federally qualified health centers or other primary care providers as necessary to provide such services to eligible state-administered general assistance recipients pursuant to this section. The commissioner shall, within available appropriations, make payments to such centers for any home based services, school-based services or other outpatient community-based services provided by such centers.]
[(i)] (h) The commissioner, pursuant to section 17b-10, may implement policies and procedures to administer the provisions of this section while in the process of adopting such policies and procedures as regulation, provided the commissioner prints notice of the intent to adopt the regulation in the Connecticut Law Journal not later than twenty days after the date of implementation.
