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

I am returning Senate Bill 906 without my signature.

This bill requires the Department of Health Care Services to establish a certificate program for peer support specialists in Medi-Cal.

Currently, peer support specialists are used as providers in Medi-Cal without a state certificate. This bill imposes a costly new program which will permit some of these individuals to continue providing services but shut others out. I urge the stakeholders and the department to improve upon the existing framework while allowing all peer support specialists to continue to work.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
