        Health benefits coverage provided under section 1397aa(a)(1) of 
    this title (and coverage provided under a waiver under section 
    1397ee(c)(2)(B) of this title) shall be treated as creditable 
    coverage for purposes of part 7 of subtitle B of title I of the 
    Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 [29 U.S.C. 1181 et 
    seq.], title XXVII of the Public Health Service Act [42 U.S.C. 300gg

                              (2) ERISA

        Nothing in this subchapter shall be construed as affecting or 
    modifying section 514 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act 
    of 1974 (29 U.S.C. 1144) with respect to a group health plan (as 
    defined in section 2791(a)(1) of the Public Health Service Act (42 
    U.S.C. 300gg-91(a)(1))).

(b) Adjustment to Current Population Survey to include State-by-State 
        data relating to children without health insurance coverage

                           (1) In general

        The Secretary of Commerce shall make appropriate adjustments to 
    the annual Current Population Survey conducted by the Bureau of the 
    Census in order to produce statistically reliable annual State data 
    on the number of low-income children who do not have health 
    insurance coverage, so that real changes in the uninsurance rates of 
    children can reasonably be detected. The Current Population Survey 
    should produce data under this subsection that categorizes such 
    children by family income, age, and race or ethnicity. The 
    adjustments made to produce such data shall include, where 
    appropriate, expanding the sample size used in the State sampling 
    units, expanding the number of sampling units in a State, and an 
    appropriate verification element.

                          (2) Appropriation

        Out of any money in the Treasury of the United States not 
    otherwise appropriated, there are appropriated $10,000,000 for 
    fiscal year 2000 and each fiscal year thereafter for the purpose of 
    carrying out this subsection.
