Therefore, the Legislature intends to access funds from the Unallocated Account in the Cigarette and Tobacco Products Surtax Fund created in Section 30122 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, and as appropriated in the annual Budget Act, and to use these funds to obtain a 65-percent federal match through California’s allocation from the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP).
