    On page 1, line 14, after "obtained.", strike "The fee is a billable expense."

EFFECT:  Eliminates language requiring medical facilities to bill the financially responsible party, including insurance and Medicaid.  Hospitals would continue to be responsible for paying the fee and are allowed to bill parents or insurers, if allowed as an expense under the hospital's contract with the insurance company.
