Synopsis of Bill
HB 98 appropriates $336,000 to the Health Department to provide matching funds pursuant to the federal Breast and Cervical Cancer Prevention and Treatment Act of 2000 to provide medicaid eligibility to uninsured women who are 65.

RELATIONSHIP
HB 98 relates to SB 33 which appropriates $300,000 to the Health Department to fund breast cancer and cervical cancer treatment for low-income women.
