Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed AB 1422 and prevented more than 3,500 Yolo County children from losing health insurance.
"It's a significant number of children that would have been affected," Jackie Hausman, children's health coordinator with First 5 Yolo, said.
AB 1422 imposes a tax on managed care health insurance plans providing Medi-Cal, some funding from the federal government, a one-time donation from the state-level First 5, and increased premium fees.
