The commissioner of health may establish a diabetes and chronic disease
self-management pilot program in one or more counties or regions of the

such program may be made for education, consultation, and peer support
services for persons with chronic health conditions, as defined by the
commissioner, to be eligible to receive such services. The commissioner
is authorized to establish fees for such counseling services, subject to
the approval of the director of the division of the budget. The
provisions of this section shall not take effect unless all necessary
approvals under federal law and regulation have been obtained to receive
federal financial participation for the costs of services provided under
this section.
