2007 CHIP Reauthorization
The year 2007 started with Governors, advocates, and key members of Congress praising the remarkable success of CHIP and calling for reauthorization to be a top priority in Congress. Despite this auspicious beginning, the year ended without a comprehensive reauthorization of SCHIP. Although Congress twice passed reauthorization bills with strong, bi-partisan support, President Bush's decision to veto these bills ultimately led Congress to simply extend the existing CHIP program with some new funding through March of 2009. The following materials provide information on these activities. |
