A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO APPROPRIATE FUNDS FOR ENHANCEMENTS OF THE FACILITIES AT BRENNER CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL IN FORSYTH COUNTY, AND FOR PROGRAMMATIC SUPPORT OF THAT HOSPITAL.
Whereas, Brenner Children's Hospital will be opening new, enlarged facilities to expand its capacity to serve the health care needs of North Carolina's children; and
Whereas, a new and enlarged pediatric outpatient facility is also planned; and
Whereas, research is the key to progress in pediatric patient care, and the well-organized, productive research effort at Brenner Children's Hospital would be greatly stimulated by an infusion of additional funds, and State funds could provide short-term "seed”support while other sources of funding are secured; Now, therefore,
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  There is appropriated from the General Fund to the North Carolina Baptist Hospitals, Inc., the sum of $3,000,000 for the 1989-90 fiscal year for Brenner Children's Hospital, $2,000,000 of which is for enhancements to facilities, and $1,000,000 of which is for programmatic support.
Sec. 2.  This act shall become effective July 1, 1989.
