Up to $90,000,000 appropriated for grants to family planning providers to offset loss of federal financial participation on or after July 4, 2025. Eligible recipients are limited to community clinics licensed under Health and Safety Code Section 1204(a) that demonstrate they lost federal funding.

Family planning grant eligibility restricted to community clinics that provide family planning services AND demonstrate loss of federal financial participation on or after July 4, 2025. Up to $1,500,000 may be used for state operations and third-party administration.

DHCAI must seek regular stakeholder input from a formal Advisory Workgroup until June 30, 2026. The workgroup must be composed of a majority of active community health workers, Promotores, or their representatives, and may advise on career development, training access, certification standards, and program accreditation.

Contracts, grants, and related information for the family planning grant program are exempt from disclosure under the California Public Records Act. The Legislature finds this necessary to protect confidential medical information, provider safety, and access to reproductive health services.

Bill changed from a simple statement of legislative intent to an operative budget amendment with specific appropriation language, designated as a Budget Bill taking effect immediately under Article IV, Section 12(e) of the California Constitution.

Appropriation and fiscal committee designations changed from 'no' to 'yes' in the legislative counsel's digest, reflecting that the bill now contains an actual appropriation.
