Dear Chief Clerk Fuller:
I am writing to remove my name as a co-sponsor of Assembly Bill 791, legislation that would promote the use of advanced directives for new Medicaid recipients.
This legislation was originally a suggestion that was discussed by the Assembly Medicaid Reform Committee. It was generally viewed as positive change to our Medicaid law. I was unaware that there was a similar requirement that was already part of Federal law. I requested Legislative Council to prepare a memo that would compare Assembly Bill 791 and current federal law. The memo demonstrates that Assembly Bill 791 is unnecessary. Because of this, I request that my name be removed from Assembly Bill 791.
Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely yours,
Jean hundertmark
State Representative
40th Assembly District
