Children’s Health Coverage
SB 1593 by Sen. Elaine Alquist (D-Santa Clara) was amended to require the Department of Health Care Services and MRMIB to establish a process to transfer eligible children from local health initiatives to Healthy Families or Medi-Cal if eligibility for either of those programs is expanded (Bill text, 5/7). The legislation is before the Senate Appropriations Committee (Bill status, 5/7).
