Explanation
(This amendment restores funding for the children's health insurance program, reduced in the introduced budget through "executive management savings. Enrollment projections were reduced from 63,000 to 40,000. The program is not an entitlement, so children applying for services in excess of the funded level would be placed on waiting lists.)
