AI Summary
This bill amends Florida law to define a "lawfully residing child" as a child who is legally present in the United States and meets residency requirements for medical assistance programs like Medicaid or the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). It clarifies that while such children may be eligible for optional Medicaid payments and related services, undocumented immigrants are explicitly excluded from this eligibility. The bill also makes a specific appropriation of funds for the 2016-2017 fiscal year to implement these changes, which will take effect on July 1, 2016.
