	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2268, as introduced, Eng. Services for underserved populations:
funding models.
   Under existing law, various state and local agencies fund or
administer programs to provide services, such as public health
information, social services, and education and child care resources,
to eligible persons.
   This bill would declare the intent of the Legislature to enact
legislation to identify populations that are eligible for various
community-based services, but that are underserved as a result of
traditional place-based and regional funding models for providing
these services, and to identify and implement strategies to ensure
that the services are made available pursuant to a population-based
model, where appropriate.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  It is the intent of the Legislature to enact
legislation that would develop an approach to do both of the
following:
   (a) Identify populations that are eligible for community-based
services, including, but not limited to, public health services,
social services, and educational services, but that are underserved
as a result of traditional place-based and regional funding models
for providing these services.
   (b) Identify and implement strategies, for use by state and local
agencies that provide or administer funding for the services
described in subdivision (a), to ensure that the services are made
available pursuant to a population-based model, where appropriate,
and that input from community-based organizations is given priority.
