SACRAMENTO — Health care, education, immigration reform and economic development are the top priorities for the Latino Legislative Caucus.

For the first time in recent years, the caucus laid out a list of priority bills they plan to support at both the state and federal level.

The 24-member caucus plans to use a new list of guiding principles that focus on encouraging more Latinos to engage in the political process through public forums, internships, fellowships and community events.

Members of the legislative Latino Caucus on Tuesday laid out their agenda that includes some form of reversal of the 10% reduction in payments to Medi-Cal providers.

The Legislature passed the 10% cut in 2011, but it was delayed until a federal appeals court ruling upheld the reduction two weeks ago. State officials said the bulk of the cutbacks will begin in September.
