California Adolescent Health Collaborative - Legislation The california health Care Foundation (CHCF) report on the impact of the proposed200203 budget on Medi-Cal and related health programs. (pdf file). http://www.californiateenhealth.org/policy/leg_Gov_budget_02.htm
Extractions: Access to Health Care Calfiornia Budget The Governor's proposed budget functions as a prospective policy statement and as a detailed spending plan for all the functions of the state. The proposed budget is put together each year and must be presented to the Legislature on or before January 10th. Once introduced, the Governor's proposed budget is translated into a budget bill for legislative consideration in both the Senate and Assembly. The Legislature, in considering the Governor's budget proposal, may increase, reduce, add, or eliminate any item in the budget. Once the two houses have reconciled their actions on the budget and passed a final version back to the Governor, which requires a 2/3 vote, he can veto the entire budget, or reduce or eliminate any item in the budget. The Governor may also amend his own request during the process, for instance if the amount of money available after taxes are received in April turns out to be different from his initial forecast, but only if approved by the legislative Budget Committees. This new budget proposal is generally referred to as the May Revise. This year, when Governor Davis released his first budget proposal in January with cuts to several important health programs that served youth, many health advocates decided to focus their efforts on saving CHDP, an important health screening program. In May, Davis released a revised budget that preserved CHDP but included deep cuts to a wide range of programs and services that affect youth and their families due to a $23.6 billion budget shortfall, $11.1 billion greater than had been estimated in January. About one third of the shortfall is addressed through program cuts ($7.6 billion), while the remainder of the gap is made up primarily by loans and various accounting shifts. Some of these proposed cuts that affect adolescent health include:

NCIDC administers a statewide California Food and Nutrition Program (CFNP) targeted at the coordination of existing public and private food assistance resources, to assist low-income Tribal communities to identify potential sponsors of child nutrition programs. The CFNP also initiates new programs in underserved or unserved areas, and develops innovative approaches at the state and local levels to meet the nutrition needs of low-income Indian people. The CFNP works directly with Tribes and Indian organizations to develop nutrition education programs and inform tribal governments and Indian communities of nutrition programs available to them. One of the desired outcomes of this informational project is to get more Indian communities to participate in programs such as the Summer Food Program and the School Breakfast Program. The program has compiled and distributed pertinent food and nutrition newsletters and information to California Tribes and community based organizations on a monthly basis. This information includes, for example, low-fat recipes, exercise ideas, healthy tips, and other related information. Over 80 different tribes and Indian organizations have been served through this distribution component of the program.

Extractions: CALIFORNIA COORDINATED SCHOOL HEALTH FACT SHEET For the past seven years, California has received a small grant ($450,000/year) from the Centers for Disease Control and PreventionÕs (CDC) Division of Adolescent School Health (DASH) to promote coordinated school health. With these limited funds, CaliforniaÕs school health program has made a tremendous difference for children and youth. An additional $10 million for CDC-DASH is needed in 2004 for this work to continue in California and other states. Its termination will clearly have a detrimental impact, ultimately manifesting itself in declines in academic achievement and increased costs for health care and social services. CDC-DASH funding has resulted in significant accomplishments in California. During the last seven years, the coordinated school health program has: Demonstrated a strong relationship between studentsÕ test scores in physical fitness and reading/math, with a study of approximately 1 million California students, generating national interest. Developed a model physical activity program for after school programs to increase the quality and quantity of childrenÕs physical activity (http:// www.afterschoolpa.com); this new Web site has been highly utilized.
