| program under 42 U.S.C. Section 1315 or 1396n; or | ||
| (2) as part of the state plan for disproportionate | ||

| percent of the county's general revenue levy in any state fiscal | ||
| year. | ||
| SECTION 2. (a) The change in law made by this Act to | ||

| (b) State assistance for health care services under Chapter | ||
| 61, Health and Safety Code, that are delivered before the effective | ||
| date of this Act is governed by the law as it existed immediately | ||
| before the effective date of this Act, and that law is continued in | ||
