AB 2061, as introduced, Chau. Public social services: policies.

Existing law provides for public social service programs, including the CalWORKs program, the Medi-Cal Program, the State Supplementary Program for the Aged, Blind, and Disabled, and CalFresh.

This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to that provision.
