	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1130, Diaz.  Health care coverage:  Children's Health
Initiative Matching Fund.
   Existing law creates the Children's Health Initiative Matching
Fund in the State Treasury, which is administered by the Managed Risk
Medical Insurance Board, in collaboration with the State Department
of Health Services, for the purpose of providing matching state funds
and local funds received by the fund through intergovernmental
transfers to a county agency, a local initiative, or a county
organized health system to provide health insurance coverage to
certain children in low-income households who do not qualify for
health care benefits through the Healthy Families Program or
Medi-Cal.
   This bill would appropriate from the Federal Trust, for the
2002-03 fiscal year, a specified sum to the board that would be
available for encumbrance for the purposes of these provisions.  The
bill would make related changes.
   Appropriation:  yes.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

is hereby appropriated in the 2002-03 fiscal year from the fund, and
the sum of one hundred sixty-four million dollars ($164,000,000) is
hereby appropriated for the 2002-03 fiscal year from the Federal
Trust Fund, to the board and shall be available for encumbrance
through June 30, 2004, for the purposes of this part.
  SEC. 2.  Section 12699.62 of the Insurance Code is amended to read:

all current enrollees and eligible children and parents that are
likely to enroll in the Healthy Families Program and, to the extent
funded through the federal State Children's Health Insurance Program,
the Access for Infants and Mothers Program and Medi-Cal program, as
determined by a Department of Finance estimate.
   (4) Funds are appropriated specifically for this purpose.
   (b) The State Department of Health Services and the Managed Risk
Medical Insurance Board may accept funding necessary for the
