(1) "Charter school" and "regional education service center" have the meanings assigned by Section 1579.002, Insurance Code.
(2) "Employee" has the meaning assigned by Section 1579.003, Insurance Code.
(b) A child of an employee of a charter school, school district, other educational district whose employees are members of the Teacher Retirement System of Texas, or regional education service center may be enrolled in health benefits coverage under the child health plan. A child enrolled in the child health plan under this section:
(1) participates in the same manner as any other child enrolled in the child health plan; and
(2) is subject to the same requirements and restrictions relating to income eligibility, continuous coverage, and enrollment, including applicable waiting periods, as any other child enrolled in the child health plan.
(c) The cost of health benefits coverage for children enrolled in the child health plan under this section shall be paid as provided in the General Appropriations Act. Expenditures made to provide health benefits coverage under this section may not be included for the purpose of determining the state children's health insurance expenditures, as that term is defined by 42 U.S.C.
