AB 2423-Help Urge Governor to Sign into Law!
September 5, 2024 by
Dear Advocates,
This is an URGENT CALL TO ACTION for everyone in the disability community! Contact Governor Newsom TODAY and urge him to sign AB 2423 into law. This bill would require the state to review developmental disability service rates every two years.
AB 2423 passed the State Legislature on August 26. Now all it needs is Governor Newsom’s signature to become law in California!
Disability services funding does not automatically keep up with economic changes like cost of living and minimum wage increases. AB 2423 would require the state to keep track of the funding our system needs. The Department of Developmental Services would be required to post updated rates to their website for better transparency. These updated rates will provide valuable information to lawmakers as they make funding decisions about vital disability services and supports.
After decades of underfunding, we need to protect recent investments in the disability services system and make sure we never go back.
Please reach out to Governor Newsom and urge him to sign AB 2423 into law!
