8.14.2013 You can take action now to support low-income Californians and strengthen the connection between CalFresh and Medi-Cal. AB 191 Strengthening the Connection between CalFresh and Medi-Cal was sent to the Senate Appropriations Committee suspense file on Monday, August 12 because of a potential fiscal impact cited in the committee’s analysis. CFPA and Assemblymember Bocanegra’s office will take all possible steps working with the committee staff to help move AB 191 out of suspense and to the Senate Floor.
The Appropriations Committee will decide which bills come off of suspense before the end of the month. Let’s make sure the committee makes the right decision about AB 191!
