Sacramento, CA – Governor Gray Davis today signed into law SB 1894, authored by Senator Martha Escutia (D - Montebello). The bill would require the Department of Health Services to restore a total of $750,000 to five domestic violence shelters that lost their usual DHS grants through no fault of their own, due to a change in the department’s funding priorities in 2000.
