RECOMMENDED ACTION/MOTION:
recommendation
Ratify letters of Support for California Counties' H.R.1 Multi-Year Budget Request.
End
PREVIOUS BOARD/BOARD COMMITTEE ACTIONS:
The Board of Supervisors regularly issues support letters that align with the 2026 Legislative Platform.
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
California Counties' H.R.1 Multi-Year Budget Request is intended to mitigate direct harm to Mendocino County residents who will lose health and nutrition services, as well as prevent cuts to other critical services that counties provide such as public safety and elections. This multi-year request comprehensively addresses the wide-ranging impacts to county health and human services programs. With this funding, counties will be able to maximize the number of individuals who retain Medi-Cal and CalFresh, rebuild county indigent care programs to serve individuals who lose health coverage, and protect needed patient care in public hospitals.
Addressing the health care and nutrition assistance needs of individuals impacted by the H.R. 1 changes to Medi-Cal and CalFresh will be a fundamental, structural element of the state's budget in 2026-27 and for years to come.
This is covered in the Human Services section of the 2026 Legislative Platform.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION/MOTION:
Return to staff for alternative handling.
