Patron - Phillips

P HJ659
Children's health insurance. Expresses the sense of the General Assembly concerning Virginia's implementation of the children's health insurance program. The resolution notes that states were authorized to implement this program as (i) an expansion of Medicaid, (ii) an insurance program with copayments and premiums for children who are not eligible for Medicaid and which covers the same or similar services as the relevant state employees' benefit plan, or (iii) a combination thereof. In Virginia, considerable controversy has surrounded this program's policy. A plan has been approved by the United States Secretary of Health and Human Services which provides for a straight insurance plan. Under federal law, insurance programs-even those with benefits comparable to state Medicaid programs-are not available to state and local government employees-a circumstance that confuses and dismays low-income government employees. This resolution expresses the opinion of the General Assembly that Virginia's program for children's health insurance should be implemented in such way as to provide eligibility for the Commonwealth's low-income employees and other low-income government employees with children, that no state or local government employee should be a second-class citizen in this Commonwealth, and that every child of a low-income state or local employee should have the same opportunity as children in other low-income families to receive adequate and necessary health care.
Patron - Armstrong

P HJ693
Dye in kerosene. Memorializes Congress to change federal regulations so that diesel fuel and kerosene used for nontaxable purposes are not dyed the same color to distinguish them when they are used for taxable purposes.

Patron - Tate

P HJ695
Mental health.

Patron - Christian

P HJ727
Internship programs for certain students. Encourages local school divisions to establish internship programs for advanced, gifted and talented, underserved, and non-traditional students with academic potential. Such internship programs should focus on providing opportunities to qualified students who demonstrate the ability or potential to excel academically, but who generally would not be selected for gifted education programs or advanced course work. This resolution is a recommendation of the Joint Subcommittee Studying the Educational Needs of Certain Underserved Gifted Students.
Patron - Christian

P HJ728
Articulation agreements. Requests that the State Council of Higher Education encourage articulation agreements between two- and four-year institutions of higher education, which facilitate the transfer of students to approved teacher education programs.

P SJ470
Accelerated degree programs in information systems.

It is noted that there are many high-paying, high-tech jobs in the information systems industry in Virginia which remain unfilled due to the lack of trained and skilled persons for the information systems field. Maximizing the use of the distance learning technology would enable institutions to offer such programs collaboratively and provide students access to eminent faculty in the field, courses, and lectures. An accelerated degree program would reduce the amount of time and money required of such students to complete the degree program and facilitate the production of qualified and skilled workers for the information systems industry. The Chairman and Director of the State Council of Higher Education, the boards of visitors, and the presidents of the respective institutions are requested to encourage this type of collaboration among institutions.
