SUMMARY
Synopsis of Bill
The bill appropriates $750.0 to the Department of Health (DOH) to provide statewide services, including prescription drug services, for persons with the human immunodeficiency virus.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS
The bill appropriates $750.0 in general fund in FY01 to DOH.
The bill does not indicate if the appropriation could be used to leverage federal Medicaid funds for HIV/AIDS services for individuals who qualify.
RELATIONSHIP
In House Bill 2 and Senate Bill 2, the LFC FY01 budget recommendation for DOH budgets $500.0 in tobacco settlement revenue for expansion of HIV/AIDS services as included in the provisions of Senate Bill 58.
TECHNICAL ISSUES
DOH suggests, in line 21, deleting the "s" from the word "prescriptions".
