Help us get SB 435 off Suspense!

CARA is doing everything we can to ensure SB 435: Backup Power in Assisted Living Facilities gets off of suspense and passed out of the Senate Appropriations Committee. We need your help. Senate Pro Tempore, Mike McGuire, and Senator Anna Caballero, Chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, both will be the main advisors as to whether SB 435 makes it out of Senate Appropriations. Please call into these offices as soon as you can!

If you are NOT a constituent of McGuire or Caballero, please call into their Capitol offices to say:

"Hi, my name is [insert your name], and I am a member of the California Alliance for Retired Americans. I am calling to express my support for SB 435: Backup Power in Assisted Living Facilities. I feel strongly that we need to protect our seniors, especially during a power outage or disaster. Senator Wahab’s office is working in good faith to add amendments to this bill to address its cost estimate. Please urge Senator [Caballero/McGuire] to take SB 435 off of suspense and pass it out of Appropriations."
