driquez, representing the 52nd district (Pamona) would require instruction on CPR and AED prior to graduation from high school. Support for this bill was recommended by the Council on Legislation. Another bill that is of importance to California physicians that CMA is currently tracking is Senate Bill 128, introduced by Bill Monning JD, currently representing the 17th district (Carmel), would allow citizens of California,
who have a terminal illness in certain circumstances, to choose to allow physicians to assist patients end their life. This bill is currently to be discussed by the CMA Board of Trustees. The best way to track these bills and others is the CMA website: cmanet.org. You can log in and write your opinion about these bills. CMA leadership is strongly encouraging members to use the website to get their opinions known and heard. It is easy to register. Please participate in
this democratic process. Your local Santa Clara County Medical Association Councilors spend time each meeting discussing the important California and federal legislative happenings. The CMA staff are knowledgeable and committed. A large share of our membership dues goes to the cost of the ongoing effort of advocacy for our members. Please encourage your friends to join CMA.
