CSHA Sponsors School-Based Health Legislation in 2024

The California School-Based Health Alliance has again partnered with Assemblymember Reggie Jones-Sawyer (57th Assembly District) to co-sponsor Assembly Bill (AB) 2052 – the School-Based Health and Education Partnership Program.

AB 2052 will strengthen coordination between the California Department of Public Health and the California Department of Education to support school-based health centers. This legislation builds upon CSHA’s earlier efforts to pass AB 1940 in 2022 and AB 912 last year.

The bill has been double referred to the Assembly Health Committee and the Assembly Education Committee for further consideration. The first hearing to be held in the Assembly Health Committee is currently awaiting to be scheduled.

You can take action now by sending a letter of support to urge the Assembly Health Committee to pass AB 2052.
