Explanation

(This amendment adds $150,000 from the general fund in fiscal year 2026 to stabilize contraceptive care delivery for Medicaid recipients who have received these services from Planned Parenthood providers through recent federal restrictions. This prevents unnecessary disruption to patient care while federal litigation proceeds, saving downstream costs to the state.)
