   Section 1. 1.  There is hereby appropriated from the state general

 fund to the Interim Finance Committee the sum of $500,000 for allocation

 program and Medicaid assistance.

   2.  The Department of Human Resources may submit a request to the

 Interim Finance Committee for the allocation of all or any part of the

 money appropriated by subsection 1 at any time. Any such request must

 include a plan for the development of and conversion to the new electronic

 application process, in addition to a description of the proposed new

 process.

   3.  Upon receipt of a request from the Department of Human Resources
