Happy Spring!

Welcome to CHBRP's Spring Quarterly Newsletter. We've continued to settle in to our new home at UC Berkeley since our move in December 2017. Housed under the Office of Research and located in Mulford Hall, we've received support and a warm welcome from our fellow Bears. Now that we've completed the bulk of our analyses for the Legislature, we're looking forward to connecting with more staff and researchers at CAL.

This quarter started with CHBRP's annual Legislative Briefing on February 7th in Sacramento. We provided an overview of CHBRP and our process to Legislative Staff and interested stakeholders. After this briefing, we quickly received requests from the Senate and Assembly Health Committees to complete analyses on a variety of bills. The full list of analyses is included below. CHBRP attended the Senate and Assembly Health Committee 

hearings on  April 24th and 25th to answer any questions about the analyses, and continues to be available to the Legislature, bill authors, and stakeholders. We always find it valuable to hear from the bill author and witnesses to learn how our reports were used. CHB RP frequently provides follow up letters to our analyses as the bills are amended to provide interpretation of our findings i n light of new bill language.

Below, we provide an overview of our activities this summer, as well as some updated resources.
