They maintain a close affiliation with child advocacy groups such as the NC Child Advocacy Institute, the Covenant with North Carolina's Children, Commission on Children with Special Health Needs, March of Dimes, NC Day Care Commission, NC Council on the Deaf and Hard of Hearing and many others. The State Government Affairs Committee is active in monitoring legislation at the state and federal levels. Pediatricians are also busy working in partnership with the private sector to find solutions to health care problems. NCPS has worked on safety issues such as seat belt regulations, playground safety and pick-up truck safety as well as laws pertaining to child abuse and neglect and the sexual exploitation of children in advertising. NCPS members were instrumental in the passage of North Carolina Health Choice, the State Child Health Insurance Plan ( SCHIP ) for children in families with income up to 200% of the federal poverty guidelines ( up to $36, 200 for a family of 4 in 2002 ).
