       not reflect any amendments that may be subsequently adopted. If this bill

            The bill includes male circumcision as a physician's service under
       Colorado's medicaid program.
       
       
       
       Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Colorado:
            SECTION 1.  In Colorado Revised Statutes, 25.5-5-102, add (3)
       as follows:
            25.5-5-102.  Basic services for the categorically needy -
       mandated services. (3)  Physicians' services pursuant to paragraph
       (d) of subsection (1) of this section includes, but is not limited to,
       male circumcision. The state board shall not limit the provision
       of male circumcision pursuant to the provisions of subsection (2)
       of this section.
            SECTION 2.  Appropriation. In addition to any other
       appropriation, there is hereby appropriated out of the general fund, to the
       department of health care policy and financing, for the fiscal year
       beginning July 1, 2012, the sum of $194,986, or so much thereof as may
       be necessary, for the implementation of this act. Said sum is subject to the
       "(M)" notation as defined in the general appropriation act. In addition to
       said appropriation, the general assembly anticipates that, for the fiscal
       year beginning July 1, 2012, the department of health care policy and
       financing will receive the sum of $194,986 in federal funds for the
       implementation of this act. Although the federal funds are not
       appropriated in this act, they are noted for the purpose of indicating the
       assumptions used relative to these funds in developing the state
       appropriation amounts.
            SECTION 3.  Safety clause. The general assembly hereby finds,
       determines, and declares that this act is necessary for the immediate
       preservation of the public peace, health, and safety.
