California lawmakers are currently weighing a legislative proposal that would bring vision care options to qualified individuals and employers through an exchange.
As the California legislature comes back from its summer recess this week, state senators are expected to consider AB 1877, otherwise known as the California Vision Care Council Act. First introduced by Assembly member Ken Cooley (D-Rancho Cordova, Calif.) in February, the bipartisan bill passed the assembly floor in May, and made it out of Senate Health Committee hearings the following month.
