(Section 2107(c)) (42CFR 457.120(a) and (b)) From the beginning, California has sought to gather public input in the design of the Healthy Families program. In anticipation of developing a Title XXI children’s health program, in late July and early August of 1997, the Secretary of the Health and Welfare Agency and the Director of DHS held round table discussions with interested parties and solicited written feedback from constituency groups. Governor Wilson introduced his children’s health proposal on August 27, 1997. After introduction of the plan, the Secretary of the Health and Welfare Agency held meetings with numerous stakeholder groups to obtain their feedback on the proposal. Using the Governor’s proposal as a framework, the Healthy Families state legislative package (AB 1126, SB 903, AB 217, and AB 1572) was developed through a joint “Health Access” conference committee. The conference committee held several open committee meetings, during which time the public was invited to offer feedback on the Healthy Families proposal.
