California Code, Welfare and Institutions Code - WIC § 24023

It is the intent of the Legislature that the State Department of Health Services shall, effective March 1, 1997, conduct no other general statewide program for the provision of comprehensive clinical family planning services as referenced in Chapter 8.5 (commencing with Section 14500) of Part 3 of Division 9, while the State-Only Family Planning Program authorized by this division is in effect. For the purpose of avoiding a disruption of services, to the extent the implementation of the State-Only Family Planning Program does not occur on or before March 1, 1997, the Director of Health Services may extend the general statewide program for the provision of comprehensive clinical family planning services as referenced in Chapter 8.5 (commencing with Section 14500) of Part 3 of Division 9. This extension shall be made only upon notification to the Chairperson of the Joint Legislative Budget Committee and the chairperson of the committee in each house that considers appropriations and under no condition shall extend beyond 120 days.
