Governor seeks public opinion on whether to veto SB-94

The staff of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has added SB-94 to the list of bills on the governor's automated public opinion telephone line. The bill, sponsored by Sen. Sheila Kuehl, D-Los Angeles, would provide an additional $3.2 million a year in state funds for "family planning services."
Planned Parenthood affiliates in California have launched a major public relations campaign across the state in an effort to persuade Schwarzenegger to sign the bill because Planned Parenthood would be among the chief beneficiaries of the additional money.
Kuehl's bill would increase Medi-Cal rates for "family planning" only, but not for other medical services. The governor has until Sunday, Oct. 14, to either sign or veto the measure. If he takes no action, the bill automatically becomes law.
Both the Senate and Assembly Republican caucuses have urged the governor's veto. In a Sept. 14 letter to the governor, Senate Republican Leader Dick Ackerman wrote Schwarzenegger, "it is unclear why rates for family planning services should be singled out for an increase from among the entire universe of services which Medi-Cal covers, especially when the increase was proposed at the eleventh hour of the legislative session. This proposed rate augmentation is more appropriately considered during the regular budget process."
Anyone can call the governor's office to express an opinion on SB-94. To do so, first call the governor's office at (916) 445-2841. When prompted, push the appropriate number for your language of preference, then push 5 for Senate bills; then press 5 for Senate Bill 94. Press 2 to ask for a veto.
