Fiscal Detail and Notes
	This bill allocates federal grant funds received by the Governor's Office of Health Policy and Finance that must be subgranted to the Legislature to contract for a qualified consultant to update the December 2002 feasibility study of a single-payer health plan model.  This allocation assumes that the office agrees to subgrant a portion of their grant award and that the study can be structured to meet the qualifying purposes of the federal grant.  If not, no funding will be available to update the study.
