A.

The standard shall reflect the higher of the southern and national averages. The departments shall cause such revised standard to become effective on January first of each year.
B. Implementation of this provision shall be contingent on the Department of Health and Hospitals and the Department of Children and Family Services certifying to the commissioner of the division of administration that the revision will not increase the total state dollar expenditure for the two departments.
