A representative of the Alzheimer's Association, Northern California and Northern Nevada Chapter, the bill sponsor, Mr. Zachary Smith, contacted Supervisor Gioia's office for a letter of support for AB 388 (Limon): Alzheimer's Disease. There are no specific policies in the adopted 2019 State Legislative Platform related to this bill, thus it was referred to the Legislation Committee.
