The chairman of the California Legislative Latino Caucus plans to propose a new law that would expand access to health insurance for all Californians, including those living in the country illegally.

State Sen. Ricardo Lara, D-Bell Gardens, is working with a broad coalition of organizations to map out the details of a bill that would cover undocumented immigrants, who are excluded from insurance coverage under the national Affordable Care Act, or ACA.

“Immigration status shouldn’t bar individuals from health coverage, especially since their taxes contribute to the growth of our economy,” Lara said in a news release.
