	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1105, Chesbro.  Health:  youth pregnancies.
   Existing law establishes the Community Challenge Grant Program,
administered by the State Department of Health Services, in order to
provide community challenge grants to reduce the number of teenage
and unwed pregnancies.  The provisions of this program are operative
until July 1, 2000, and would be repealed on January 1, 2001.
   Existing law conditions implementation on receipt of federal
financial participation pursuant to a federal waiver received under
the State-Only Family Planning Services Program.
   This bill would eliminate this requirement.
  This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an
urgency statute.

on or before January 1, 2001, deletes or extends that date.
  SEC. 2.  This act is an urgency statute necessary for the immediate
preservation of the public peace, health, or safety within the
meaning of Article IV of the Constitution and shall go into immediate
effect.  The facts constituting the necessity are:
