by:

Changing the date for counting eligible children
from December 1 to November 1;

Directing the Division, beginning with FY2010, to
prepare an exception budget request sufficient to adjust provider payments by
the same external cost adjustment factor used in calculating school foundation
program distributions to school districts;

Reciting legislative intent that the external
cost adjustments for inflation be cumulative.
