Of the amount herein appropriated for Family Planning Services, $9,500,000 shall be allocated, in a manner determined by the Commissioner of Health, to family planning providers: 1) who qualified as participating service providers under the Title X family planning program, authorized by the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. s.300 et seq.), as established in statute and regulations on April 1, 2019, and 2) who subsequently became ineligible for federal funding provided through the Title X program due to the adoption of federal regulations prohibiting the use of Title X funds based on the provider’s core mission and not the provider’s ability to deliver family planning services. Eligible family planning providers pursuant to these provisions shall receive funding amounts as determined by the Commissioner of Health; however, such amounts shall not be greater than the average Title X grant amount received by the family planning provider over the two most recent program grant cycles, plus any non-recurring Title X grant funds.
2. This act shall take effect immediately.
