The California Senate budget subcommittee advanced AB 108, a budget "bill junior" establishing a one-time $25 million grant fund at the Department of Health Care Access and Information (HCAI) to support nonprofit hospitals with less than 10 days cash on hand; the measure passed the subcommittee 18-0 and will be revisited as part of the May revise and follow-up hearings.
