Comments
Fast tracking legislation limits time for public input and fiscal impact analysis. The League supports transparency and accountability. Burdensome criteria to access needed public benefits negatively impact this state’s most vulnerable populations.

Comments
We agree that only qualified/needy individuals should access Medical Assistance. Yet AB 148 may end up costing the state more money, create significant administrative burdens on local agencies, and delay coverage even for qualified individuals.
