(a) Through its courts and statutes, and under its Constitution, California protects a woman’s right to reproductive privacy. California reaffirms these protections and specifically its Supreme Court decision in People v. Belous (1969) 71 Cal.2d 954, 966-68. (b) The State Department of Health Services and the Managed Risk Medical Insurance Board may accept or use moneys under Title XXI of the federal Social Security Act (known as the State Children’s Health Insurance Program or S-CHIP), as interpreted in Section 457.10 of Title 42 of the Code of Federal Regulations, to fund services for women pursuant to Section 14007.7 (Medi-Cal) and Part 6.3 (commencing with Section 12695) (Access for Infants and Mothers (AIM)) of Division 2 of the Insurance Code only when, during the period of coverage, the woman is the beneficiary. The scope of services covered under Medi-Cal and AIM, as defined in statutes, regulations, and state plans, is not altered by this section or the state plan amendment submitted pursuant to this section. (c) California’s S-CHIP plan and any amendments submitted and implemented pursuant to this section shall be consistent with subdivisions (a) and (b). (d) This section is a declaration of existing law.
