Good afternoon, commissioners. Grant colfax, director of health. Happy new year. Of aofi have a few things to highlight. Very exciting news with regard to medy cal expanding coverage to undocumented immigrants up to age 26. This is an expansion that Governor Newsom authorized as part of the states 2019 to 20 budget, including full scope medical to eligible adults ages 19 to 25 regardless of immigration status.
