RE: AB 138 (BEALL) – ELDER ECONOMIC PLANNING ACT OF 2011 – STRONG
SUPPORT
Dear Chairperson Kehoe:
INSERT YOUR NAME OR ORGANIZATION is proud to support AB 138 (Beall)—the Elder
Economic Planning Act of 2011.
The Assembly Appropriations’ Committee analysis is accurate when it states that AB 138 is like-
ly to produce administrative savings for the AAAs and is expected to result in negligible costs to
CDA.
INSERT A FEW SENTENCES ABOUT YOU AND WHY YOU PERSONALLY SUPPORT THIS
BILL, EG THE IMPACT IT WOULD HAVE ON YOU OR THE PEOPLE YOU WITH WHOM YOU
WORK
Why do we need AB 138? In light of the current economic struggles of our state, there is a
unique opportunity to create policies that maximize the impact of limited resources.
By using the Elder Index, AB 138 ensures that policymakers’ plans for older Californians are
most impactful given available resources, without requiring any additional resources.
I urge the Committee to pass AB 138.
Sincerely,
