Bill > SB152

This bill, titled the FY27 CHIP/DHR Code Amendment, proposes changes to Alabama law regarding the distribution of tax revenues, specifically impacting the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) and the Department of Human Resources (DHR). The primary change is found in Section 40-23-35, where the percentage of food stamp benefits issued that is allocated to the Department of Human Resources for administration is increased from five percent to seven and one-half percent, effective September 1, 2026. Additionally, the bill amends Section 40-23-85 to remove a provision that previously designated an amount sufficient to fund CHIP as a first charge against funds allocated to the General Fund under that section, indicating a shift in how CHIP is funded or accounted for. The bill also includes a general effective date of September 1, 2026.
