Prop 35 Executive Briefing Covers Delays, Next Steps

What’s happening: At the May 8 executive briefing on Proposition (Prop) 35, CHA provided an update on the state’s budget environment, noting the fiscal trouble the state faces, and discussed state delays in moving forward with implementation of Prop 35 payments.   

What else to know: Roughly 60 CHA members attended the executive briefing; those who missed it can watch the recording.  

CHA Board Chair-Elect Julie Sprengel opened the briefing by sharing that sometimes wins do not come to fruition in the expected timeline — and Prop 35, which makes the managed care organization tax permanent, is an example of this.  

Also noted was that CHA will know more about next steps following the May 19 advisory committee meeting, which will follow just days after the May Revision release. CHA will collaborate with the coalition that worked to pass Prop 35 to evaluate the governor’s May Revision proposal and advocate for timely implementation of Prop 35 provider payments.
