   $16,000 for grant year 1997 and thereafter (now, $14,000). Effective        
   immediately.                                                                
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                 
        Provides that in no event is the grant to exceed  (1)  $700  less      
   4.5%  of household income for the year if the household income is less      
   than $14,000 or (2) $70 if the  household  income  for  that  year  is

          FISCAL NOTE, H-AM 1 (Dept. of Revenue)                               
          If only 20% of the new claimants use the Pharmaceutical Assis-       
          tance Program at an average of $500 per claimant, the increase       
          cost will be $4.9 million. Thus, the total cost of increasing        
          the income ceiling from $14,000 to $16,000 as provided in this       
          bill is estimated to be $8.3 million.
