Updating income eligibility requirements for the state children's health insurance program.

Summary

HB 2386 proposes to amend the state children's health insurance program by increasing the household income thresholds to 225% of the 2008 federal poverty level for 2009 and 250% for 2010 onward. It also creates an 8‑month waiting period for families earning over 200% of the poverty line, with several exceptions, and outlines how the program would be run as a capitated managed‑care plan. The measure never left committee, so the changes were not enacted.
