(a) This chapter does not establish an entitlement to assistance in obtaining health benefits for a child.
(b) The program established under this chapter terminates at the time that federal funding terminates under Title XXI of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. Section 1397aa et seq.), as amended, unless a successor program providing federal funding for a state-designed child health plan program is created.
(c) Unless the legislature authorizes the expenditure of other revenue for the program established under this chapter, the program terminates on the date that money obtained by the state as a result of the Comprehensive Settlement Agreement and Release filed in the case styled The State of Texas v. The American Tobacco Co., et al., No. 5-96CV-91, in the United States District Court, Eastern District of Texas, is no longer available to provide state funding for the program.
