What's
Happening at the Legislature?
This section provides information on bills of interest to the disability community. In previous legislative sessions, bills such as mental health insurance parity, insurance coverage for autism and cochlear implants, and voting legislation were listed here.
The new 2009-2011 legislature began on January 5, 2009. Bills are added to this section of DAWN as they are introduced. The most important bill introduced so far was the next two-year budget bill, AB-75. This bill passed and was signed into law by Gov. Doyle on June 29, 2009. A listing of disability items in the budget bill is available in our State Budget section.
