Summary

Existing law, the federal Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009, authorizes states with a separate Children's Health Insurance Program to provide dental-only supplemental coverage to children who are enrolled in group health care coverage or health insurance coverage offered through an employer and who would otherwise satisfy the requirements for being a targeted low-income child, as specified. Existing law creates the Healthy Families Program, administered by the Managed Risk Medical Insurance Board, to arrange for the provision of health, dental, and vision benefits to eligible children pursuant to the federal Children's Health Insurance Program. This bill would, contingent on the receipt and appropriation of funds, require the board to provide dental-only coverage consistent with the federal Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009, as specified, and would authorize the board to adopt regulations to implement that requirement. The bill would also state the intent of the Legislature to enact legislation that would implement other provisions of the federal Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009. The California Constitution authorizes the Governor to declare a fiscal emergency and to call the Legislature into special session for that purpose. The Governor issued a proclamation declaring a fiscal emergency, and calling a special session for this purpose, on December 19, 2008. This bill would state that it addresses the fiscal emergency declared by the Governor by proclamation issued on December 19, 2008, pursuant to the California Constitution.
