Senate Bill 840 News

There is now a funding bill for SB840, called SB1014. Keep updated on this via this link.

SB840 itself is headed to Senate Appropriations next Monday, May 14th. By early June, maybe the 8th, it will be on the Senate Floor. Subscribe to SB840 updates via this link.

If you have been searching for that opportunity to catalyze interest and build momentum on your campus, here is what you can do: California Physicians Alliance is requesting that we compose hand-written, personal appeals to senators. CaPA did this very well two years ago, with the 400+ letters subsequently generated helping to push SB840 as far as it went. If you want to do this, let Parker Duncan know at pduncan, and he can send you the resources you need to hold a “Letter Luncheon” in about one hour!
