DESCRIPTION

This proposal allows the General Assembly to appropriate general revenue to
the School Health Initiatives Program if the funds are not used to support
abortion counseling.  Under current statute, only dedicated cigarette taxes
and federal funds can be used to support the program.  This proposal has an
expiration date of June 30, 1999.

This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other
program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental
space.
