     "208.169. 1. Notwithstanding other provisions of this chapter, including but not limited to sections 208.152, 208.153, 208.159 and 208.162:

     (1) There shall be no revisions to a facility's reimbursement rate for providing nursing care services under this chapter upon a change in ownership, management control, operation, stock, leasehold interests by whatever form for any facility previously licensed or certified for participation in the medicaid program. Increased costs for the successor owner, management or leaseholder that result from such a change shall not be recognized for purposes of reimbursement,

     (2) In the case of a newly built facility or part thereof which is less than two years of age and enters the Title XIX program under this chapter after July 1, 1983, a reimbursement rate shall be assigned based on the lesser of projected estimated operating costs or one hundred ten percent of the median rate for the facility's class to include urban and rural categories for each level of care including ICF only and SNF/ICF. The rate set under this provision shall be effective for a period of twelve months from the effective date of the provider agreement at which time the rate for the future year shall be set in accordance with reported costs of the facility recognized under the reimbursement plan and as provided in subdivisions (3) and (4) of this subsection. Rates set under this section may in no case exceed the maximum ceiling amounts in effect under the reimbursement regulation;

     (3) Reimbursement for capital related expenses for newly built facilities entering the Title XIX program after March 18, 1983, shall be calculated as the building and building equipment rate, movable equipment rate, land rate, and working capital rate.

     (a) The building and building equipment rate will be the lower of:

     a. Actual acquisition costs, which is the original cost to construct or acquire the building, not to exceed the costs as determined in section 197.357, RSMo; or

     b. Reasonable construction or acquisition cost computed by applying the regional Dodge Construction Index for 1981 with a trend factor, if necessary, or another current construction cost measure multiplied by one hundred eight percent as an allowance for fees authorized as architectural or legal not included in the Dodge Index Value, multiplied by the square footage of the facility not to exceed three hundred twenty-five square feet per bed, multiplied by the ratio of forty minus the actual years of the age of the facility divided by forty; and multiplied by a return rate of twelve percent; and divided by ninety-three percent of the facility's total available beds times three hundred sixty-five days.

     (b) The maximum movable equipment rate will be fifty-three cents per bed day.

     (c) The maximum allowable land area is defined as five acres for a facility with one hundred or less beds and one additional acre for each additional one hundred beds or fraction thereof for a facility with one hundred one or more beds.

     (d) The land rate will be calculated as:

     a. For facilities with land areas at or below the maximum allowable land area, multiply the acquisition cost of the land by the return rate of twelve percent, divide by ninety-three percent of the facility's total available beds times three hundred sixty-five days.

     b. For facilities with land areas greater than the maximum allowable land area, divide the acquisition cost of the land by the total acres, multiply by the maximum allowable land area, multiply by the return rate of twelve percent, divide by ninety-three percent of the facility's total available beds times three hundred sixty-five days.

     (e) The maximum working capital rate will be twenty cents per day;

     (4) If a provider does not provide the actual acquisition cost to determine a reimbursement rate under subparagraph a. of paragraph (a) of subdivision (3) of subsection 1 of this section, the sum of the building and building equipment rate, movable equipment rate, land rate, and working capital rate shall be set at a reimbursement rate of six dollars;

     (5) For each state fiscal year a negotiated trend factor shall be applied to each facility's Title XIX per diem reimbursement rate. The trend factor shall be determined through negotiations between the department and the affected providers and is intended to hold the providers harmless against increase in cost. In no circumstances shall the negotiated trend factor to be applied to state funds exceed the health care finance administration market basket price index for that year. The provisions of this subdivision shall apply to fiscal year 1996 and thereafter.

     2. The provisions of subdivisions (1), (2), (3), and (4) of subsection 1 of this section shall remain in effect until July 1, 1989, unless otherwise provided by law.

     [3. The provisions of this section shall not apply in any respect for any reason to any intermediate care facility exclusively for the mentally retarded/developmentally disabled which entered the Title XIX program after July 1, 1983.]"; and

     Further amend said bill, in the title and enacting clause accordingly.

The division shall be named as respondent. Venue shall be in the county where the person resides, or in circuits with split venue in the venue in which the alleged perpetrator resides.

     (1) That the division has determined that there is probable cause to suspect abuse or neglect exists and that the division shall retain all identifying information regarding the abuse or neglect; that such information shall remain confidential and will not be released except to law enforcement agencies, prosecuting or circuit attorneys, or as provided in section 210.150; that the alleged perpetrator has sixty days from the date of receipt of the notice to seek reversal of the division s determination through a review by the child abuse and neglect review board as provided in subsection 3 of this section;

     (2) There is insufficient probable cause of abuse or neglect. The notice will also inform the person who is the subject of a report where there is insufficient evidence of abuse or neglect, of the right to file a written appeal with the director of the division of family services to order the records be removed from the division and destroyed. The notification must continue and state that if the person who is the subject of a report where there is insufficient evidence of abuse or neglect, is aggrieved by the decision of the director of the division of family services not to remove and destroy the records, such person may petition the circuit court to order the records removed from the division and destroyed.

     3.

If the alleged perpetrator is not a resident of the state, proper venue shall be in Cole County. The case may be assigned to the family court division where such a division has been established. The request for a judicial review shall be made within sixty days of the notification of the decision of the child abuse and neglect review board decision. In reviewing such decisions, the circuit court shall provide the alleged perpetrator the opportunity to appear and present testimony. The alleged perpetrator may subpoena any witnesses except the alleged victim or the reporter. However, the circuit court shall have the discretion to allow the parties to submit the case upon a stipulated record.

     6. In any such action for administrative review the child abuse and neglect review board shall notify the child or the parent, guardian or legal representative of the child that a review has been requested.

     210.183. 1. At the time of the initial investigation of a report of child abuse or neglect, the division employee conducting the investigation shall provide the alleged perpetrator with a written description of the investigation process. Such written notice shall be given substantially in the following form:

      The investigation is being undertaken by the Division of Family Services pursuant to the requirements of chapter 210 of the Revised Missouri Statutes in response to a report of child abuse or neglect.

      The identity of the person who reported the incident of abuse or neglect is confidential and may not even be known to the Division since the report could have been made anonymously.

      This investigation is required by law to be conducted in order to enable the Division of Family Services to identify incidents of abuse or neglect in order to provide protective or preventive social services to families who are in need of such services.

      The division shall make every reasonable attempt to complete the investigation within thirty days. Within ninety days you will receive a letter from the Division which will inform you of one of the following:

      (1) That the Division has found insufficient evidence of abuse or neglect; that the subject of a report where there is insufficient evidence of abuse or neglect has the right to file a written appeal with the director of the division of family services to order the records be removed from the division and destroyed. The notification must continue and state that if the person who is the subject of a report where there is insufficient evidence of abuse or neglect, is aggrieved by the decision of the director of the division of family services not to remove and destroy the records, such person may petition the circuit court to order the records removed from the division and destroyed; or

      (2) That there appears to be probable cause to suspect the existence of child abuse or neglect in the judgment of the Division and that the Division will contact the family to offer social services.

      If the Division finds there is probable cause to believe child abuse or neglect has occurred or the case is substantiated by court adjudication, a record of the report and information gathered during the investigation will remain on file with the Division.

      If you disagree with the determination of the Division and feel that there is insufficient probable cause to believe abuse or neglect has occurred, you have a right to request an administrative review at which time you may hire an attorney to represent you. If you request an administrative review on the issue, you will be notified of the date and time of your administrative review hearing by the child abuse and neglect review board. If the division s decision is reversed by the child abuse and neglect review board, the Division records concerning the report and investigation will be updated to reflect such finding. If the child abuse and neglect review board upholds the division s decision, an appeal may be filed in circuit court within sixty days of the child abuse and neglect review board s decision.

     2. If the division uses the family assessment approach, the division shall at the time of the initial contact provide the parent of the child with the following information:

     (1) The purpose of the contact with the family;

     (2) The name of the person responding and his office telephone number;

     (3) The assessment process to be followed during the division s intervention with the family including the possible services available and expectations of the family.".
