Alameda County committee forwards three state bills to full Board with recommended support
Summary
The Alameda County Personnel, Administration and Legislation Committee voted to forward support positions on AB 1924, AB 2081 and AB 1575 to the full Board after staff and county health representatives described the bills and a public commenter thanked supervisors for prior support.
The Alameda County Personnel, Administration and Legislation Committee voted May 18 to send three state bills to the full Board with recommended support positions.
County staff asked the committee to move AB 1924, a statewide homeless-prevention strategy bill, AB 2081, a Medi-Cal home and community-based alternative waiver, and AB 1575, described in the staff presentation as cleanup and an expansion of in-home respite services under the Laderman Developmental Disability Service Act. Staff noted SB 1052 had been held in appropriations and did not require forwarding.
The staff motion to forward the three items was made during the committee’s legislative-update portion of the meeting and was amended on the floor to list AB 1924, AB 2081 and AB 1575 specifically. Jessica Blakemore, a representative of Alameda County Health, clarified that SB 1052 had been held in committee and therefore need not be moved: “SB 1052, I think was held in appropriations and won't be moving forward so we don't need to move that bill to the full board, but the other three are moving forward,” she said.
During public comment, Dr. Chantier, identified in the record as CEO of Cardea Health, thanked the Board for its prior support and welcomed AB 2081’s movement out of suspense this year, saying the bill’s home-based services expansion will help unsheltered clients access more intensive care. “We’re really excited to see more of our unsheltered clients in the county be able to receive more intensive home based services,” Dr. Chantier said.
The clerk conducted a roll call vote. The record shows Supervisor Fortunato Bass voting Aye and Supervisor Tam voting Aye; the chair announced the motion passed. Committee staff said the three items will be scheduled for consideration by the full Board with the committee’s recommended support positions.
The committee did not provide additional detail in the meeting record about amendment language, funding implications beyond staff summaries, or the identity of the formal second; the clerk’s roll call established the committee’s approval and next procedural step.
