SACRAMENTO – More information about California's health care districts will soon be one mouse-click away under AB 2019, authored by Assemblymember Cecilia Aguiar-Curry (D-Winters) and signed into law yesterday by Gov. Jerry Brown.
The bill strengthens legislation last year that first established basic website postings and other requirements for these special districts that had sometimes fallen under the radar.
"As the chair of the Assembly Local Government Committee, one of my goals has been to ensure that health care districts are providing the essential health services they were created to deliver and to enable constituents to access information about them," stated Aguiar-Curry. "My Committee held an oversight hearing in 2017 that highlighted some areas where health care districts could be communicating better – especially using the internet – and we wrote a measure last year that put into action some very modest website requirements. AB 2019 advances our efforts to ensure the public can easily access information about these important public agencies."
