Page 307, after line 48, insert:
"C.
The Department of Medical Assistance Services shall reduce the waiting period under the Children's Medical Security Insurance Plan for children who had been previously insured children from 12 to six months, consistent with the requirements under the new Family Access to Medical Insurance Security."


Explanation
(This amendment shortens the waiting period for eligibility for the Virginia Children's Medical Security Insurance Plan (CMSIP) to be consistent with the new Family Access to Medical Insurance Security (FAMIS) program. This will allow for the smooth transition of children from the CMSIP plan to the new FAMIS program.)
