                                       2

 12        Idaho whereby the universities would begin  evaluating  the  continuum  of
 13        substance  abuse  programs  in  Idaho. The Center for Health Policy should
 14        collaborate with the Department of Health and Welfare and  to  the  extent
 15        possible utilize the baseline data being developed by the Bureau of Health
 16        Promotion so as to avoid duplication in efforts.

 20    temporarily  reduce  the  $10,000 deductible paid by counties for the costs of
 21    caring for indigent persons with tobacco-related  diseases.  The  Catastrophic
 22    Health  Care  Cost  Program Board shall be vested with the authority to define
 23    and determine which cases qualify for the reduced county  deductible,  subject
 24    to  the  provisions of this section. Notwithstanding the provisions of Chapter
 25    35, Title 31, Idaho Code, the Catastrophic Health Care Cost Program  Board  is
 26    hereby  granted the authority to enact these reductions for the period July 1,
 27    2001, through June 30, 2002, provided that the  additional  fiscal  impact  of
 28    these reductions on the Catastrophic Health Care Cost Program shall not exceed
 29    the amount appropriated in Section 2(b) of this act.
                                                                        
 30        SECTION  4.  It  is  legislative intent that if the total amount of moneys

 32    the State Treasurer shall allocate such funds as are available to the  recipi-
 33    ents  listed  in Section 2 of this act, in the proportion that the amount each
 34    recipient's appropriation bears to the total amount appropriated.
