Breaking Legislative News
ACHD is pleased to report that AB 2180 (Alejo) was pulled, at the request of the Author, from the Senate Governance & Finance Committee agenda for today. The Author has not requested to reset the bill. Our hard work, in concert with the coalition efforts of the California Hospital Association (CHA), District Hospital Leadership Forum (DHLF) & the California Special Districts Association (CSDA), gained significant traction with Committee members.
Senator Wolk (D-Davis), Committee Chair, and Senator Hernandez (D-Los Angeles), Health Committee Chair expressed major policy concerns with the bill, and the consistent Republican opposition provided us with the necessary votes to stop the bill.
Thank you for your letters, phone calls and emails on this bill. Your opposition was a critical contribution to defeating this harmful legislation.
While this bill will not be heard today, the bill still is alive until July 6, the second house policy committee deadline. The author has one more opportunity to present AB 2180 for consideration. Due to the tight scheduling constraints based on the double referral of the bill, we do not anticipate this will occur. The Advocacy staff will continue to monitor this bill and keep you apprised of any new developments.
Please contact me with any questions at amberw@achd.org or (916) 552-3094. |

Press Release: LMCHD adopts Statement of Director Duties
At the January 10, 2011 meeting of the Board of Directors of the Los Medanos Community Healthcare District, the Board adopted a Statement of Director Duties and Responsibilities that requires the directors to demonstrate the highest standards of integrity and honesty in all public matters. The Statement of Director Duties recognizes the directors’ duty to act in the best interests of the District regardless of their personal attitudes or political point of view. The directors agreed that unprofessional or disruptive behavior by directors in public meetings is never in the best interest of the District.
While not enforceable in court, the Statement of Director Duties and Responsibilities represents the formal agreement of the directors to be prepared for all meetings, remain informed, share accurate and important information with the Board, and assure quality leadership for the District. A representative of the District reported that health care districts throughout California are adopting similar resolutions in response to a public demand for more accountability and transparency in local government entities.
