The law behind it
- AB 218 (2019): Gave survivors of childhood sexual abuse more time to sue. Claims against the County followed, and the County has committed more than $4.8 billion to settlements. That money is not available for other County programs.
- H.R. 1 (2025 federal budget law): The 2025 federal budget law cut federal support for Medicaid (Medi-Cal) and food benefits (CalFresh) and added work requirements. The County's health and social service budgets absorb much of the cut.
