ACCORDING TO THE ALZHEIMER'S
ASSOCIATION. MORE THAN 6.5
MILLION AMERICANS HAVE
ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE, THE MOST
COMMON CAUSE OF DEMENTIA
AFFECTING COGNITIVE AND SOCIAL
BEHAVIOR. SEE ADCS, OUR NETWORK
OF SITES AT UNIVERSITY MEDICAL
SCHOOLS OVERSEEN BY THE
CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC
HEALTH THAT PROVIDES SERVICES
RANGING FROM SPECIALIZED
TRAINING FOR HEALTHCARE
PROFESSIONS TO PILOTING
FEDERALLY FUNDED CLINICAL TRIALS
. DEMENTIA CARE IS AN INTEGRAL
ASPECT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF
AGING MASTER PLAN, WHICH IS
OVERSEEN BY THE DEPARTMENT OF
HEALTH CARE SERVICES TO PROVIDE
STATEWIDE STANDARDS OF CARE FOR
DEMENTIA SCREENING FOR PRIMARY
CARE PROVIDERS ACROSS ALL HEALTH
CARE COVERAGE OPTIONS. AFTER
ENGAGEMENT WITH D H C. S C D P H
C, D. A C A, D. C S AND THE D. C
A TEAM. THIS BILL HAS BEEN
STRENGTHENED TO ENSURE THAT THE
CALIFORNIA'S RECEIVING ACCURATE
AND TIMELY DIAGNOSIS FOR
DEMENTIA AND RELATED CONDITIONS
THROUGH DIAGNOSTICS SCREENINGS
AND CULTURALLY RELEVANT
PHYSICIAN TRAINING OFFERED AT
THE CALIFORNIA ALZHEIMER'S
DIAGNOSED DIAGNOSED HUBS. TODAY
I HAVE JARED SERIOUS SUIT.
JERUSALEM COKE FROM THE
GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS DIRECTOR AT
THE ALZHEIMER'S ASSOCIATION TO
PROVIDE TESTIMONY AND TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE FOR SP 639. IT'S OKAY
. GOOD MORNING CHAIR COMMITTEE
CHAIR AND MEMBERS AGAIN. MY NAME
IS JARED JERUSALEM CLOAK. I'M
THE GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS DIRECTOR
FOR THE ALZHEIMER'S ASSOCIATION.
WE ARE THE SPONSORS OF SB 6 39.
AS A SENATOR MENTIONED THIS BILL
IS DESIGNED TO HELP OUR STATE'S
ELDERS ACCESS TO TIMELY AND
ACCURATE DIAGNOSIS OF DEMENTIA
BY FOCUSING OUR TWO STATE
PROGRAMS DESIGNED AROUND
DIAGNOSTICS AND COGNITIVE
SCREENINGS. UM INTO A TRUE
COLLABORATIVE EFFORT THAT
REPRESENTS A MODEST BUT TRUE
STEP FORWARD, UM TOWARDS
STATEWIDE REGIONAL ALZHEIMER'S
DIAGNOSTIC HUB AND SPOKE SYSTEM
, GIVEN THAT THESE TWO PROGRAMS
ARE ADMINISTERED BY D. H. C S,
C, D. P H AND C D. A WE WERE
PATIENT AND WAITING FOR
TECHNICAL AMENDMENTS FROM THE
DEPARTMENTS THAT HELP ACCOMPLISH
OUR GOALS AS THESE AMENDMENTS
CAME IN WHILE THE BILL WAS ON
THE ASSEMBLY FLOOR, THE MOST
RECENT THE MOST RECENTLY
ACCEPTED AMENDMENTS WERE
REQUESTED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF
PUBLIC HEALTH TO ENSURE CLARITY
OF IMPLEMENTATION BY SHIFTING
THE APPROVALS FOR THE MEDICAL
COMPONENTS OF DEMENTIA CARE
WHERE AND FROM THE HEALTH AND
SAFETY CODE INTO WELFARE AND
INSTITUTIONS CODE AS WELL AS
SIMILAR, INCLUDING SIMILAR
LANGUAGE, ENCOURAGING
COLLABORATION BETWEEN THE TWO
PROGRAMS. NONE OF THESE
AMENDMENTS CREATE NEW
OBLIGATIONS IN THE BILL FOR THE
DEPARTMENTS, CENTERS OR PROGRAMS
, BUT HELP TO UPLIFT EXISTING
RESOURCES AND CLARIFY
IMPLEMENTATION. HOWEVER THE HCS
HAS PROVIDED FISCAL IMPACT FOR
SB 6 39, WHICH OUTLINES
APPROXIMATELY 5.27 MILLION IN
FISCAL IMPACT FOR FY 24 25. THEN
10 APPROXIMATELY 10.5 MILLION
EACH ONGOING FISCAL YEAR. THESE
COSTS GO TO FUNDING THE DEMENTIA
CARE WHERE PROGRAM WHICH IS
STAFF THAT UCSF AFTER THE HDB S
DOLLARS, WHICH CURRENTLY FUND
THE PROGRAM ARE EXHAUSTED AT THE
END OF 2024. ADDITIONALLY CD PH
HAS PROVIDED A FISCAL IMPACT OF
178,000 AND NEW STAFFING COSTS
TO BE CLEAR THE MAJOR COSTS
PROPOSED BY THE DEPARTMENTS
REGARDING THIS BILL DO NOT
IMPACT THE STATE GENERAL FUND
FOR FY 23 24, AND ONLY HALF OF
THE CS CAST WOULD COME FROM
STATE GENERAL FUND DOLLARS AS
DEMENTIA CARE WHERE IS A MEDICAL
PROGRAM AND WOULD RECEIVE A
FEDERAL MATCH THAT REPRESENTS
HALF THE COST, SO STATE GENERAL
FUND IMPACT BASED ON THE
ESTIMATES THAT WERE PROVIDED TO
US WOULD BE 2.9 MILLION IN FY 24
25 AND APPROXIMATELY 5.4 MILLION
EACH FISCAL YEAR AFTER WE HELPED
TO CONTINUE OUR COLLABORATION
WITH THE ADMINISTRATION ON THIS
IMPORTANT BILL, AND WE REQUEST
YOUR SUPPORT TODAY. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE. YES MICHELLE PAROLE
WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE
FINANCE CURRENTLY HAS AN
OPPOSITE OPPOSE ON THIS BILL. I
WON'T REITERATE SINCE, UM MY
COLLEAGUE HERE ALREADY GAVE THE
COSTS. BUT FINANCE CONCURS WITH
THOSE COSTS, ESTIMATES AND WE
WOULD ARGUE THAT ANY TYPE OF
FUNDING UNDER THIS BILL THAT
IMPACTS GENERAL FUNDS SHOULD BE
DONE THROUGH THE STATE BUDGET
PROCESS. THANK YOU FOR THAT. IS

COMMITTEE AND SUPPORT OR
