Bill > SB788

This bill is a supplemental appropriation for the Department of Human Services for fiscal year 2025, which provides additional federal funding for specific budget categories. The bill authorizes new federal funds totaling approximately $32,132,229, distributed across three main spending areas: Current Expenses ($27,000,000), CHIP Administrative Costs ($677,086), and CHIP Services ($4,455,143). CHIP (Children's Health Insurance Program) is a federal-state partnership that provides health coverage to children in families with incomes too high to qualify for Medicaid but too low to afford private insurance. The bill includes a preamble noting that the Governor has established the availability of these federal funds, and it amends the existing budget to allow for these additional expenditures within the Department of Human Services for the specified fiscal year. The supplemental appropriation aims to support ongoing healthcare and administrative costs for children's health services and general department operations.
