Title
Children's Health Insurance Fund, distributions further provided
Description

Under existing law, The Department of Human Resources receives funds for the administration of the food stamp program in an amount equal to 5% of the value of food stamp benefits issued statewide. In order to comply with the provisions set forth in the One Big Beautiful Act, this bill would increase that amount of 7.5%.

Under existing law, the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP)is funded as a first charge against the use tax allocated to the General Fund. This bill would amend that provision to allow for other sources of revenue to be used to fund CHIP.
