Bill > SB155

This bill appropriates funds to the State Department of Health for two specific purposes during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023. First, the bill allocates $1.1 million to fund a public information campaign focused on diabetes care and providing free or reduced-price diabetes supplies. Second, it appropriates $340,222 to be distributed to federally qualified health centers (FQHCs), which are healthcare facilities that provide comprehensive primary care services to underserved populations, regardless of their ability to pay. The bill includes two effective dates: it will formally become effective on July 1, 2025, but also contains an emergency clause stating that it will take effect immediately upon passage and approval, ensuring that the appropriations can be implemented quickly. The emergency provision is meant to address urgent public health needs related to diabetes care and access to healthcare services.
