Summary

This bill repeals the sunset date for the Medi-Cal program for the California Working Disabled Program and makes specified changes in the eligibility criteria.

=============
BILL NUMBER: AB 1113
VETOED DATE: 10/13/2007

To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 1113 without my signature.

While I strongly support the California 250 Percent Working Disabled
Program and appreciate its role in promoting work among persons who
are aged and disabled, I cannot support this bill. This bill contains
a drafting error that would result in unequal treatment of similarly
situated aged persons, in direct conflict with federal Medicaid law.
Given my strong support of services for persons with disabilities to
allow them to safely remain at home and lead productive and
independent lives, I am directing the Department of Health Care
Services to pursue legislation to continue and improve this important
program.

For this reason, I am returning AB 1113 without my signature.

Sincerely,

Arnold Schwarzenegger
