(a) It is the intent of the Legislature to utilize fiscal resources in the most prudent and cost-efficient manner and to maximize the use of federal funds for services when feasible. Therefore, the Legislature intends to access funds from the Unallocated Account in the Cigarette and Tobacco Products Surtax Fund created in Section 30122 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, and as appropriated in the annual Budget Act, and to use these funds to obtain a 65-percent federal match through California’s allocation from the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP). These funds will then be used under the state’s Healthy Families Program specifically for the rural demonstration projects established in Section 12693.91.
(b) Notwithstanding Section 30122 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, funding for the rural demonstration projects as provided under the Health Families Program may be made available from the funds appropriated from the Unallocated Account in the Cigarette and Tobacco Products Surtax Fund and from funding received pursuant to Title XXI of the federal Social Security Act. These funds shall be used as provided under Section 12693.91.
(c) Subdivision (b) constitutes an amendment of the Tobacco Tax and Health Protection Act of 1988, as added by Proposition 99.
