Governor's Message
To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 2299 without my signature.

This bill would require the Department of Health Care Services to ensure all written health education and informational materials provided by Medi-Cal managed care plans to their beneficiaries are translated at or below the sixth grade reading level.

I signed legislation last year to codify the Affordable Care Act's language access provisions into state law. Furthermore, the department requires its plans to provide written materials in an easily understood and readily accessible format. Current law and contractual practice are sufficient to compel plans to make these important health care documents understandable for Medi-Cal beneficiaries.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
