123705. It is the intent of the Legislature that the program carried out pursuant to this article shall be fully supported from the fees collected for providing BIG to patients with suspected infant botulism or other forms of botulism and that these fees be made available for expenditure by the state department as appropriated by the Legislature in the annual Budget Act. However, it is the intent of the Legislature that until June 30, 1999, the Legislature may appropriate in the annual Budget Act the funds necessary for the support of programs authorized in this article in excess of fee revenues collected. It is, further, the intent of the Legislature that these appropriations be provided as a loan from the General Fund to be repaid with interest to the General Fund over the subsequent five years with interest at the rate earned by moneys invested in the Pooled Money Investment Account.

The product may be labeled with the proprietary name BabyBIG®.
(b) The United States Food and Drug Administration license agreement stipulated the contracts and commodity purchases required to manufacture, test, distribute, and maintain licensure of Botulism Immune Globulin Intravenous (Human). Therefore, contracts and commodity purchases for any manufacture, testing, distribution, packaging, development, and licensure of Botulism Immune Globulin Intravenous (Human) by the department shall be exempt from competitive bidding and shall be exempt from the requirements of Part 2 (commencing with Section 10100) of Division 2 of the Public Contract Code.
(c) Since the incidence of infant botulism in California can vary by as much as 60 percent from year to year, and since continuity of program operations is critical to the health and well-being of these infants, any funds not expended at the end of the fiscal year shall be carried forward into the next fiscal year, notwithstanding any other provision of law.
(d) In carrying out this article, the Infant Botulism Treatment and Prevention Unit may adopt regulations, make and receive grants, and enter into contracts and interagency agreements.

123750. The Legislature finds that intensive care nurseries for at-risk infants are often at capacity. It further finds that serious delays can occur in placing critically ill newborn infants in intensive care nurseries due to calls being placed to many hospitals. Additionally, valuable staff time is often taken by a capacity nursery in attempting to find another nursery with an available bed. It is further found that, due to the lack of a centralized dispatch system, at-risk infants are often not placed in the intensive care nursery nearest their homes.
Therefore, the Legislature finds that in order to protect the health of critically ill newborn children and to more efficiently utilize space and staff in intensive care nurseries it is necessary to establish 24-hour-a-day, year-round medical dispatch centers linking all hospitals providing obstetrical services with intensive care nurseries.
