Welcome to the CCB Happenings for September 6,
2024.
Legislative Update:
I am pleased to report that both of our bills, AB3193, to reform the system under which the Department of Rehabilitation purchases assistive technology for its consumers, and AB1902, which requires accessible drug labeling for people with print disabilities, including those who are blind or have low vision, have both passed the Legislature and are on the Governor’s desk. We will concentrate our advocacy efforts on AB1902 because we do not have assurances of the Governor’s position on that bill. We will forward sample letters that individuals and organizations can use to urge the Governor to sign that bill.
From the Convention Planning committee:
Hello CCB family:
