Senate welfare reform debate wraps up with no vote
In Sacramento a Senate welfare committee finished testimony on Reagan's reform plan, with no vote planned for two to three weeks. The County Supervisors Association plan died in Assembly committee, signaling intensified opposition. Beilenson aims to craft a bipartisan package from about 40 measures, while savings hinge on administrative changes rather than legislation. The county plan sought state takeover of county welfare programs and a one cent sales tax, shifting 450 million to the state.

Welfare health care bill advances in California Assembly
SACRAMENTO (UPI) The Assembly Ways and Means Committee approved a bill by Assemblyman William Campbell to have the state pay the full cost of treatment for welfare recipients in intermediate health care facilities. The measure would lift a $1.7 million burden from counties and could save money long term by transferring many patients from full care to intermediate care or board and room services. About 35 percent of current patients might be reclassified as eligible for intermediate care.
