Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill adds a funding priority for the minority health program through which the Department of Health Services annually awards grants to organizations for activities to improve the health status of economically disadvantaged minority group members. Under current law, DHS awards grants of up to $50,000 per year per applicant and requires that applicants that are not federally qualified health centers receive priority for grants. This bill requires that applicants providing maternal and child health services also receive priority for these grants.
