BILL NUMBER: SB 123 VETOED DATE: 09/29/2016 To the Members of the California State Senate: I am returning Senate Bill 123 without my signature. This bill establishes a work group jointly administered by the Departments of Health Care Services and Education to recommend changes to school-based Medi-Cal programs. There is an advisory committee within the Department of Health Care Services whose very purpose is to continuously review and recommend improvements to these programs. Collaboration among the health and education departments and local education groups is very important, but the existing advisory committee is working well and certainly up to the task. Codification in this case is not needed. Sincerely, Edmund G. Brown Jr.
