Making appropriations for the fiscal year 2019 to provide for supplementing certain existing appropriations and for certain other activities and projects

AI Summary

This bill makes supplemental appropriations for fiscal year 2019 to provide for certain unanticipated obligations of the Commonwealth and to meet certain requirements of law. Specifically, it appropriates $8 million from the General Fund to ensure the continuity of clinical family planning services, education and counseling, physical exams, provision of contraceptive methods, sexually-transmitted disease testing and treatment, HIV testing, and reproductive cancer screening services provided through the Federal Title X program. This funding is intended to address deficiencies in federal Title X funding and ensure that changes in federal policy and funding levels do not adversely affect the health of the Commonwealth's citizens or limit effective family planning.
