32.1-352)

A. There is hereby created in the state treasury a special nonreverting fund to
be known as the Virginia Family Access to Medical Insurance Security Plan Trust
Fund, hereinafter referred to as the &#8220;Fund.&#8221; The Fund shall be
established on the books of the Comptroller and shall be administered by the
Director of the Department of Medical Assistance Services. The Fund shall
consist of the premium differential, any and all employer contributions which
may be solicited or received by the Department of Medical Assistance Services,
grants, donations, gifts, and bequests, or any and all moneys designated for the
Fund, from any source, public or private. As used in this section,
&#8220;premium differential&#8221; means an amount equal to the difference
between (i) 0.75 percent of the direct gross subscriber fee income derived from
eligible contracts and (ii) the amount of license tax revenue generated pursuant
to former subdivision A 4 of &#xA7; 58.1-2501 with respect to eligible
contracts. As used in this section, &#8220;eligible contract&#8221; means any
subscription contract for any kind of plan classified and defined in &#xA7;
38.2-4201 or 38.2-4501 issued other than to (i) an individual or (ii) a primary
small group employer if income from the contract is subject to license tax at
the rate of 2.25 percent pursuant to former subsection D of &#xA7; 38.2-4229.1.
The Department of Taxation shall annually, on or before June 30, calculate the
premium differential for the immediately preceding taxable year and notify the
Comptroller of the Commonwealth to transfer such amount to the Virginia Family
Access to Medical Insurance Security Plan Trust Fund as established on the books
of the Comptroller.

B. Any moneys remaining in the Fund, including interest thereon, at the end of
each fiscal year shall not revert to the general fund but shall remain in the
Fund. Moneys in the Fund shall be used solely to support the Virginia Family
Access to Medical Insurance Security Plan in accordance with the requirements of
Title XXI of the Social Security Act, as amended, the Commonwealth&#8217;s plan
for the State Children&#8217;s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP), as established
in Subtitle J of the federal Balanced Budget Act of 1997 (P. L. 105-33), and any
conditions set forth in the appropriation act.

C. The Director of the Department of Medical Assistance Services shall report
annually on December 1 to the Governor, the General Assembly, and the Joint
Commission on Health Care on the status of the Fund, the number of children
served by this program, the costs of such services, and any issues related to
the Virginia Family Access to Medical Insurance Security Plan that may need to
be addressed.
