Bill > AB106

This bill amends the Budget Act of 2025, which outlines state government spending for the 2025-26 fiscal year, by increasing funding for local assistance to the Department of Health Care Access and Information. Specifically, it significantly boosts the appropriation for family planning providers and related services, allocating up to $90,000,000 for grants to eligible community clinics that provide these services and are facing a loss of federal funding. The Department of Health Care Access and Information, in consultation with the California Health and Human Services Agency, will determine how these grant funds are distributed, with applications requiring justification for the requested amounts. The bill also allows for up to $1,500,000 to be used for state operations to administer this grant program, and these contracts and grant-related information will be kept private to protect confidential medical information, provider safety, and access to reproductive health services. Furthermore, the bill declares its immediate effect as a Budget Bill and expresses the Legislature's intent to enact further statutory changes related to the Budget Act of 2025.
