Act Now! Urge Governor Newsom to Sign AB 2423 into Law to Update Funding Rates for Disability Services

Thank you to EVERYONE who contacted their Senators in the last few weeks! Your advocacy efforts made a difference. AB 2423 passed the Senate floor and is now awaiting Governor Gavin Newsom’s signature.

We must continue to make our voices heard and URGE the Governor to SIGN AB 2423 before the September 30th deadline. This is our final effort that can make a HUGE difference for the disability community.

Take two more minutes to send an email to Governor Newsom in ONE CLICK! It’s that easy!

If signed into law, AB 2423 would require the state to review developmental disability service rates every two years.

Disability services funding currently doesn’t keep up with economic changes like cost of living and minimum wage increases. AB 2423 would require the state to know how much funding our system needs on a regular basis. Additionally, the Department of Developmental Services would be required to post updated rates to their website for better transparency. These updated rates will provide valuable information to lawmakers as they make funding decisions about vital disability services and supports.

After decades of underfunding, we need to protect recent investments in the disability services system and make sure we never go back.

Please contact Governor Newsom TODAY and ask him to sign AB 2423!
