Sacramento CA: Three Assemblyman Mullin Bills Head to Governor

Speaker pro Tem Kevin Mullin Has Three More Bills Head to Governor Brown

As legislative session closes, social equity and elections bills clear the floor

Sacramento – The 2015 legislative session ended on Friday, and three more Mullin bills are headed to Governor Brown’s desk.

AB 50 would expand the scale of the Nurse-Family Partnership (NFP) and other evidence-based programs to Medi-Cal eligible recipients in California. Expanding the reach of evidence-based public health initiatives like NFP programs will provide grants for voluntary nurse home visiting programs for expectant first-time mothers, their children and their families.

AB 371 also known as the CalWORKs Family Unity Act of 2015, removes the deprivation requirement in CalWORKs that currently results in a denial of aid to two-parent families when parents are employed, regardless of whether or not their income and assets qualify them for aid.

AB 477 will reduce the number of legitimate vote-by-mail ballots that are rejected. This bill grants more time for elections officials to collect signatures on ballots that arrive unsigned. A similar policy has already been successfully implemented in Florida and Colorado.
