Amends SSA title XXI to prohibit the Secretary from approving a waiver, experimental, pilot, or demonstration project (or project modification) that would allow the use of SCHIP funds to provide child health assistance or other health benefits coverage to a nonpregnant childless adult.

Amends SSA title XI to establish public notice and comment requirements for States and the Secretary with respect to any State proposal for an experimental, pilot, or demonstration project (or project modification) to assist in promoting Medicaid or SCHIP objectives that would result in a substantive change in eligibility, enrollment, benefits, financing, or cost-sharing under a State program.
