Fixing the Direct Access Prohibition

Mike (Day):
As you know from the work with the DA coalition, UC/CSU is extremely
interested in ensuring that the prohibition on DA included in AB1X gets
"fixed" in SB27X. Of couse we'd ideally like to make sure that the language
providing the "fix" makes it crystal clear that customers retain the right
going forward. There's some concern that the "fix" language that's been
floating around thus far needs some tightening to wring out the ambiguities.
In that regard, Mike Smith is going to try to craft some language and forward
it to you. We'll need to try to get Mike (Smith's) language into the draft
that you're putting together based on last Friday's meeting, preferably
before you circulate the next draft to the DA coalition. Mike Smith, I'll
assume that you'll contact Mike Day directly, but Mike (Day), if there's any
questions, don't hesitate to contact me. Thanks very much.

Best,
Jeff
