Amend CSHB 30 (senate committee printing) by striking SECTION 1(b) of the bill (page 2, lines 1-3) and substituting the following:

(b)  The Health and Human Services Commission shall identify the strategies and objectives in and riders to the bill pattern of appropriations made to the commission by Chapter 605 (S.B. 1), Acts of the 85th Legislature, Regular Session, 2017 (the General Appropriations Act), out of which the transfer under Subsection (a) of this section is to be made, except that the commission may not identify for that purpose a strategy, objective, or rider that directly or indirectly provides funding for benefits provided to Medicaid recipients or child health plan program enrollees. This section does not give the Health and Human Services Commission the authority to change eligibility criteria, reduce benefits, adjust the amount, scope, or duration of services, or otherwise negatively affect access to care under the Medicaid or child health plan program.
