Bill Summary

Equality NC endorses this bill.

Introduced in the 2006 session, this bill would appropriate $5 Million for the AIDS Drug Assistance Program in an effort to ensure that low-income North Carolinians living with AIDS have access to life-saving drugs. Additionally, the bill would raise the eligibility level for the program from 125% of Federal Poverty Level to 300% of FPL. North Carolina's current eligibility level is the worst in the nation, forcing many poor North Carolinians to do without expensive AIDS drugs.
