Rep. Cecilia Aguiar-Curry

Existing law authorizes a legislative body of a city to designate one or more proposed infrastructure revitalization financing districts, as specified, which are legally constituted governmental entities established for the sole purpose of financing certain types of facilities, as specified. Existing law limits districts to only financing facilities or projects of communitywide significance, including the acquisition, construction, or repair of commercial or industrial structures for private use. This bill would specify that a facility or project to acquire, construct, or repair commercial or industrial structures for private use includes entertainment or sports facilities.

Existing law sets forth provisions, under the California Constitution, regarding the fundamental right to choose to have an abortion. Existing law, the Reproductive Privacy Act, prohibits the state from denying or interfering with a pregnant person's right to choose or obtain an abortion prior to viability of the fetus, or when the abortion is necessary to protect the life or health of the pregnant person. This bill, the Access to Safe Abortion Care Act, would make legislative findings about medication abortion, with a focus on use of the drugs mifepristone and misoprostol. Under the bill, the Legislature would reaffirm that it has been, and would continue to be, lawful to cause the delivery of, or mail, ship, take, receive, or otherwise transport, any drug, medicine, or instrument that can be designed or adapted to produce an abortion that is lawful in the State of California. The bill would set forth provisions regarding the lack of civil or criminal liability, or professional disciplinary action, for accessing or administering brand name or generic mifepristone or any drug used for medication abortion that is lawful under the laws of the state, on or after January 1, 2020, with this provision applied retroactively, as specified. The bill would make its provisions severable.

(1) The California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989, administered by the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) , generally regulates the disposal, management, and recycling of solid waste, as defined. The act authorizes CalRecycle to certify a local enforcement agency and requires CalRecycle and certified local enforcement agencies to perform specified functions with regard to the regulation of solid waste management, including issuing and enforcing solid waste facility permits. The act prohibits a person from operating a solid waste facility without a solid waste facilities permit, as provided. The California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 charges the State Air Resources Board with monitoring and regulating sources of emissions of greenhouse gases that cause global warming in order to reduce emission of greenhouse gases. The act requires the state board to adopt rules and regulations to achieve the maximum technologically feasible and cost-effective greenhouse gas emissions reductions, as provided. This bill would require the owner or operator of a solid waste landfill, as defined, to, among other things, notify the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery if a subsurface elevated temperature event occurs. The bill would define "subsurface elevated temperature event" to mean an event where subsurface gas or waste temperatures at a solid waste landfill persistently exceed 131 degrees Fahrenheit over a substantial area and meets other performance criteria, as determined by the department. The bill would authorize the department to require the owner or operator of a solid waste landfill experiencing a subsurface elevated temperature event to create a corrective action plan that includes, but is not limited to, a cost assessment for fully implementing the corrective action plan. The bill would authorize the department or a local enforcement agency to impose an administrative civil penalty of $100,000 per day for failing to comply with these requirements, as provided. The bill would require all penalties collected to be deposited into the Landfill Subsurface Fire Mitigation Community Fund, which the bill would create in the State Treasury. The bill would continuously appropriate moneys in the fund to the California Alternative Energy and Advanced Transportation Financing Authority, to be paid to counties in which a subsurface elevated temperature event occurred to mitigate harm to a person or community affected by a subsurface elevated temperature event and to be paid to the authority for its costs of implementation. The bill would require the authority to develop guidelines for dispersing these funds, as specified. The bill would authorize the department to become the enforcement agency for a solid waste landfill experiencing a subsurface elevated temperature event, as specified. This bill would authorize the Secretary for Environmental Protection to select and coordinate a multiagency coordination group to investigate and provide recommendations on how to achieve resolution of a subsurface elevated temperature event, as specified. The bill would require a local health department to initiate community health needs assessments to identify and collect information regarding the effects of a subsurface elevated temperature event on an affected community and to share the findings, as provided. By requiring a local health department and a local air pollution control district to perform additional duties, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The bill would, upon request by a multiagency coordination group, require the owner or operator of a solid waste landfill that experiences a subsurface elevated temperature event to implement an air monitoring and sampling plan, as specified. The bill would require the owner and operator of a solid waste landfill that experiences a subsurface elevated temperature event to reimburse the members of a multiagency coordination group and the local health department for all reasonable and necessary expenses incurred, as specified. The bill would authorize the department to adopt regulations to implement and enforce them as emergency regulations, as specified. (2) This bill would declare its provisions to be severable. (3) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.

Existing law creates within the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, under the Undersecretary for Operations, the Division of Adult Institutions, among others, and requires each division to be headed by a director, who is appointed by the Governor, as specified. Existing law also requires the Governor to appoint 4 subordinate officers to the division, as specified. Existing law requires each subordinate officer appointed to oversee an identified category of adult institutions, one of which oversees female offender facilities. This bill would instead require the Governor to appoint 3 subordinate officers, as specified, who would oversee an identified category of male adult institutions, and one subordinate officer, as specified, who would oversee female adult institutions. The bill would create within the department, and under the Undersecretary for Operations, the Division of Female Programs and Services. The bill would require the director of this division to be responsible solely for female adult institutions and community facilities housing female offenders. The bill would require the director to report to the undersecretary and to have a minimum of 5 years of experience serving a female correctional population in a custody setting. The bill would also require this new division to manage and provide oversight of adult female programs, including prisons, conservation camps, and parole and community programs and to develop gender-responsive, trauma-informed, culturally sensitive approaches to program and policy development. Existing law requires the department to create a Female Offender Reform Master Plan and present it to the Legislature by a specified date. Existing law requires the department to, among other things, create policies and operational practices that are designed to ensure a safe and productive institutional environment for female offenders. This bill would require the department to provide a report to the Legislature on the implementation of the plan, and update statistics contained in the plan, by March 1, 2027, and every 3 years thereafter. The bill would require the department to maintain the plan, including subsequent updates and reports, in consultation with the commission and others, as specified. The bill would also require the department to post the plan, any reports, and any updates to the plan to the department's internet website. This bill would require the department to establish the Gender Responsive Strategies Commission (GRSC) to develop active partnerships and to support successful implementation of gender responsive practices and rehabilitation programs for incarcerated individuals. The bill would require the GRSC to be composed of 19 representatives, as specified, and would require the department, by June 1, 2027, and annually thereafter, to provide a written report to the Legislature on appointments to the GRSC and the department's response and progress toward implementing the GRSC's recommendations. Existing law also requires the department to contract with nationally recognized gender-responsive experts in prison operational practices, staffing, classification, substance abuse, trauma treatment services, mental health services, transitional services, and community corrections to, among other things, conduct a staffing analysis of all current job classifications assigned to each prison that houses only females, as specified, and develop programs and training for department staff in correctional facilities. This bill would require the department, through this contract, no later than March 1, 2027, and every 3 years thereafter, to prepare and submit to the Legislature an updated staffing analysis and would require a comprehensive review of the office's policies and practices and other aspects of women-centered corrections developed to enhance safety and rehabilitative efforts, as specified. The bill would also require the training program to include training at the academy and, for those working in a female prison, 40 hours of initial training with a curriculum specifically focused on working with the population within female institutions and an 8-hour annual training thereafter. Existing law requires the secretary of the department to expand the existing prison ombudsperson program to ensure the comprehensive deployment of ombudspersons throughout the state prison system with specific focus on the maximum security institutions. This bill would instead require the Undersecretary for Operations to perform this duty and would require the undersecretary to appoint an ombudsperson solely assigned to adult female institutions.

The California Fair Employment and Housing Act establishes the Civil Rights Department within the Business, Consumer Services, and Housing Agency and requires the department to, among other things, bring civil actions to enforce the act. Existing law requires, on or before September 1, 2024, the Department of Technology to conduct, in coordination with other interagency bodies as it deems appropriate, a comprehensive inventory of all high-risk automated decision systems that have been proposed for use, development, or procurement by, or are being used, developed, or procured by, any state agency. This bill would generally regulate the development and deployment of an automated decision system (ADS) used to make consequential decisions, as defined. The bill would define "automated decision system" to mean a computational process derived from machine learning, statistical modeling, data analytics, or artificial intelligence that issues simplified output, including a score, classification, or recommendation, that is designed or used to assist or replace human discretionary decisionmaking and materially impacts natural persons. This bill would require a developer of a covered ADS, as defined, to take certain actions, including providing a potential deployer instructions explaining how the covered ADS should be used by the deployer to make or facilitate a consequential decision. This bill would require a deployer of a covered ADS to take certain actions, including provide certain disclosures to a subject of a consequential decision made or facilitated by the covered ADS that results in an adverse outcome, as defined, and provide the subject with an opportunity to appeal the outcome of the consequential decision, as prescribed. This bill would authorize the Attorney General to bring a specified civil action for noncompliance.

(1) The State Fireworks Law requires the State Fire Marshal to adopt regulations relating to fireworks as may be necessary for the protection of life and property. Existing law requires these regulations to include, among other things, provisions for the granting of licenses and permits for the manufacture, wholesale, import, export, and sale of all classes of fireworks. A violation of the State Fireworks Law or the regulations issued pursuant thereto is a misdemeanor. This bill would require the State Fire Marshal to adopt regulations that include provisions for determining license requirements specific to importing fireworks that will not be sold within California, as provided. (2) Existing law makes the possession of dangerous fireworks, except when the person possessing the dangerous fireworks holds and is operating within the scope of a valid license or permit, subject to various penalties depending on the amount of gross weight in possession. Existing law defines dangerous fireworks for these purposes to include, among other things, fireworks kits and fireworks examined and tested by the State Fire Marshal and determined by the State Fire Marshal to be unsafe for use by any person not specially qualified or trained in the use of fireworks. The State Fireworks Law does not apply to specified objects, including, among other things, paper caps that contain less than 0.25 grain of pyrotechnic composition per unit load. This bill would revise and recast the definition of a fireworks kit, as provided, and expand the definition of dangerous fireworks to include any types of fireworks not examined and tested by the State Fire Marshal, excluding fireworks with a pending application for approval. This bill would repeal the above-described exemption for paper caps. By expanding the scope of a crime, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. (3) Existing law requires fireworks licensees seeking authorization for specified activities related to fireworks to submit a written application for a permit to the chief of the fire department or the chief fire prevention officer of the city or county, or to another issuing authority that may be designated by the governing body of the city or county, or, in the event there is no officer or person appointed within the area, to the State Fire Marshal or the State Fire Marshal's deputy, as provided. This bill would require applicants for a wholesaler's, manufacturer's, importer's, or exporter's license to disclose the complete street addresses of all storage facilities on their initial application, and to advise the State Fire Marshal of new, relocated, or nonoperational facilities. The bill would also require holders of those licenses to notify the Office of the State Fire Marshal and specified local entities of the complete street addresses of intended storage facilities for any fireworks. By expanding the scope of a crime, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The bill would subject licensees who violate that notification requirement to a fine of no less than $10,000, and would authorize the State Fire Marshal to revoke their license. The bill would require the Office of the State Fire Marshal, upon approval of an application for any of these licenses, to notify specified local entities of any storage site reported on the application. This bill would require the above-described fireworks licensees to provide to the State Fire Marshal documentation affirming the possession of applicable local permits or other entitlements, information about the storage sites for the fireworks, and a Federal Explosives License, as provided. By expanding the scope of a crime, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The bill would authorize the State Fire Marshal to revoke the fireworks license of a licensee who fails to provide this documentation or information and to deny a license to a license applicant who fails to provide this documentation or information, as provided. The bill would also require the State Fire Marshal to both allow the applicable public agency an opportunity to validate the permit or entitlement assertions of the licensee and to furnish a copy of any applicable license to the public agency, as provided. This bill would authorize a public agency to adopt by ordinance or resolution a schedule of fees to recover the reasonable costs incurred in administering, processing, inspecting, and enforcing the conditions of permits for fireworks activities or storage within its jurisdiction, as provided. (4) Existing law provides that if dangerous fireworks are seized pursuant to a local ordinance that provides for administrative fines or penalties and these fines or penalties are collected, the local governmental entity collecting the fines or penalties shall forward 65% of the collected moneys to the Controller for deposit in the State Fire Marshal Fireworks Enforcement and Disposal Fund. This bill would repeal the requirement that the local governmental entity collecting the fines or penalties forward 65% of the collected moneys to the Controller for deposit in the State Fire Marshal Fireworks Enforcement and Disposal Fund. (5) Existing law authorizes the legislative body of a city or a county to make, by ordinance, any violation of an ordinance subject to an administrative fine or penalty and limits the maximum fine or penalty amounts for infractions, to $100 for the first violation, $200 for a 2nd violation of the same ordinance within one year of the first violation, and $500 for each additional violation of the same ordinance within one year of the first violation. This bill would, notwithstanding those provisions, raise the maximum fines for violation of an ordinance relating to fireworks that is an infraction to $1,000 for a first violation, $2,000 for a 2nd violation of the same ordinance within 5 years, and $5,000 for each additional violation of the same ordinance within 5 years of the first violation. (6) Existing law requires a fireworks licensee or permittee to permit the chief of the issuing authority, or the chief's authorized representatives, to enter and inspect any building or other premises subject to the control of or used by the licensee or permittee for any purpose related to fireworks at any time for the purpose of enforcing the State Fireworks Law. This bill would authorize the chief of the fire department, fire marshal, or chief fire prevention officer of the public agency having jurisdiction, or their authorized representative, to enter and inspect, at reasonable times, any premises, facility, or storage site used for the manufacture, storage, sale, or display of fireworks to determine compliance with specified portions of the State Fireworks Law, the regulations of the State Fire Marshal, and applicable local fire codes. The bill would require the public agency to inspect each fireworks facility or storage site within its jurisdiction at least once every 12 months, as provided. By imposing new duties on local jurisdictions, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The bill would authorize a local public agency to require correction of any unsafe or noncompliant condition identified during inspection and suspend or revoke the local permit until compliance is achieved. The bill would require a public agency that suspends or revokes the local permit to notify the State Fire Marshal. (7) Existing law requires an import or export fireworks licensee to file a notice containing specified information with the State Fire Marshal before the arrival of any class of fireworks subject to the license held by the licensee. This bill would additionally require that notice to include the street address and county of the facilities in which the fireworks will be stored. The bill would also require an import or export fireworks licensee to additionally provide this notice to the local jurisdiction listed as the destination for the fireworks. By expanding the scope of a crime, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. (8) Existing law authorizes the State Fire Marshal, their salaried deputies, or any chief of a fire department, or their authorized representatives, any fire protection agency, or any other public agency authorized by statute to enforce the State Fire Marshal's regulations, to seize any fireworks and to charge any person, firm, or corporation whose fireworks are seized pursuant to this authority an amount that is sufficient to cover the cost of transporting, storing, and handling the seized fireworks. This bill would additionally authorize local law enforcement agencies to seize any fireworks and to charge any person, firm, or corporation whose fireworks are seized pursuant to this authority an amount that is sufficient to cover the cost of transporting, storing, and handling the seized fireworks. (9) Existing law authorizes the State Fire Marshal to deny or revoke a fireworks license for specified reasons. Existing law authorizes the State Fire Marshal to deny, without hearing, an application for a license or renewal of a license, if within one year before the date of application, the State Fire Marshal has denied or revoked a license after a proceeding conducted in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Act for the same applicant on the ground of violation of the State Fireworks Law. This bill would instead authorize the State Fire Marshal to deny, without hearing, an application for a license or renewal of a license, if within 5 years before the date of application, the State Fire Marshal has denied or revoked a license as provided. (10) Existing law authorizes the State Fire Marshal to suspend, upon 3 days' notice, any license for a period not exceeding 30 days pending investigation of any violation of the provisions of the State Fireworks Law. Under existing law, an applicant who has been denied a license or a renewal of a license, or any licensee who has had a license suspended, is entitled to a hearing conducted in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Act. This bill would extend to not more than 90 days the period the State Fire Marshal may suspend any license pending investigation of any violation of the provisions of the State Fireworks Law and would establish that the above-described entitlement to a hearing conducted in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Act does not apply during the suspensions. (11) Existing law authorizes the State Fire Marshal to deny the application for a license or the application for renewal of a license filed by a person who has been convicted of a felony involving explosives or dangerous fireworks or who has been convicted as a principal or accessory in a crime against property involving arson or any other fire-related offenses, as provided. This bill would instead authorize the State Fire Marshal to deny the application for a license or the application for renewal of a license to a person who has been convicted of a felony. The bill would also authorize the State Fire Marshal to deny the application for a license or the application for renewal of a license to a person under indictment or information for a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year, a person prohibited from handling explosives under federal law, a person ineligible for a Federal Explosives License issued by the United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, or a person subject to a previous federal or state seizure action related to fireworks or a previous denial or revocation of a federal or state fireworks license. The bill would retain the authorization for the State Fire Marshal to deny the application for a license or the application for renewal of a license if the person has been convicted as a principal or accessory in a crime against property involving arson or any other fire-related offenses, as provided. (12) This bill would incorporate additional changes to Sections 25132 and 36900 of the Government Code proposed by SB 716 to be operative only if this bill and SB 716 are enacted and this bill is enacted last. (13) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that with regard to certain mandates no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason. With regard to any other mandates, this bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs so mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.

Existing law, the California AI Transparency Act, requires, among other things, a person that creates, codes, or otherwise produces a generative artificial intelligence (AI) system that has over 1,000,000 monthly visitors or users and is publicly accessible within the geographic boundaries of the state to make available an AI detection tool at no cost to the user. Existing law requires the AI detection tool to, among other things, allow a user to assess whether the image, video, or audio content was created or altered by that person's generative AI system. Existing law defines terms for these purposes and makes these provisions generally operative on August 2, 2026. Existing law also requires a large online platform to comply with specific duties relating to artificial intelligence, including, among other duties, allowing a user to inspect all available system provenance data that is compliant with widely adopted specifications adopted by an established standards-setting body by specified means. Existing law prohibits a large online platform from knowingly stripping any system provenance data or digital signature that is compliant with widely adopted specifications adopted by an established standards-setting body from content uploaded or distributed on the large online platform. Existing law makes these provisions, relating to a large online platform, operative on January 1, 2027. This bill would revise the duties and prohibitions applicable to a large online platform relating to artificial intelligence, including the requirement for allowing a user to inspect system provenance data. The bill would specify that these provisions do not require a large online platform to take any action with respect to provenance data, system provenance data, or digital signatures that are not compliant with widely adopted specifications issued by an established standards-setting body.

Existing federal law provides for the allocation of federal funds through the federal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) block grant program to eligible states. Existing law provides for the California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs) program under which, through a combination of state and county funds and federal funds received through the TANF program, each county provides cash assistance and other benefits to qualified low-income families. Existing law requires an unrelated adult male who resides with a family who is applying for or receiving aid from the CalWORKs program to make a financial contribution to the family, as specified. This bill would, beginning July 1, 2027, or a later date, as specified, repeal the above-described provisions requiring an unrelated adult male who resides with a family applying for or receiving aid from the CalWORKs program to make a financial contribution to the family. The bill would authorize the department to implement, interpret, or make specific, this change by means of all-county letters, or similar written instructions, until regulations are adopted. By expanding eligibility for the CalWORKs program, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. Existing law continuously appropriates moneys from the General Fund to defray a portion of county costs under the CalWORKs program. This bill would provide that the continuous appropriation would not be made for purposes of implementing the bill. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.

Existing law permits a court, on its own motion or the motion of any party, to enter a prefiling order prohibiting a vexatious litigant from filing any new litigation in propria persona without first obtaining leave of the presiding judge of the court where the litigation is proposed to be filed. Existing law permits a presiding judge or a presiding justice to allow a vexatious litigant's filing only under specified circumstances and permits the presiding judge to condition the filing upon the furnishing of security. Existing law defines a vexatious litigant for these purposes to include, among other things, a person who, after being restrained by a domestic violence restraining order, and while that order is still in place, commenced, prosecuted, or maintained one or more litigations against a person protected by the restraining order. Existing law authorizes a person protected by a restraining order issued after a hearing pursuant to the above-described provisions to file a petition, without fee, to have the person who is the subject of that order declared a vexatious litigant if, while the restraining order is still in place, they commence, prosecute, or maintain litigation against the person protected by the restraining order in an action that is determined to be meritless and caused the person protected by the order to be harassed or intimidated. Existing law authorizes a court to issue, after notice and a hearing, orders enjoining a party from engaging in specified behavior, including contacting, attacking, or threatening another party. This bill would, in any litigation pending in any court of this state, create a process for a victim of domestic violence, as defined, that is a party to the action to seek protection from abusive litigation by a person who abused them by requesting a prefiling order at any time until final judgment is entered in the litigation. The bill would require a court to grant a request for a prefiling order if the victim demonstrates, after notice and a hearing and by a preponderance of the evidence, that the party against whom the order is sought is a perpetrator, as defined, and that the litigation filed or the discovery requested by the perpetrator was frivolous or abusive. The bill would require a person subject to a prefiling order to obtain permission from the court to file any litigation or conduct discovery against the victim, as specified. The bill would also establish a process by which a party subject to a prefiling order may apply to have the order vacated. If a party subject to a prefiling order violates that order, the bill would make them subject to sanctions, attorney's fees, and costs, as specified. The bill would enumerate a number of rights of victims of domestic violence that may be enforced, but which do not create a cause of action against the state or local government entities. This bill would provide that the victim would not be charged filing fees for any filings related to seeking a prefiling order and that any party may file documents electronically without charge and that any party, attorney, support person, or witness may appear remotely in these hearings without charge. This bill would require the clerk of the court to provide the Judicial Council with a copy of any prefiling orders issued. The bill would require the Judicial Council to maintain records of all prefiling orders issued and, on or before January 1, 2028, to create and modify court forms to implement the bill, as specified.

(1) Existing law, the Knox-Keene Health Care Service Plan Act of 1975, provides for the licensure and regulation of health care service plans by the Department of Managed Health Care, and makes a willful violation of the act a crime. Existing law provides for the regulation of health insurers by the Department of Insurance. Existing law requires a health care service plan contract or health insurance policy issued, amended, or renewed on or after January 1, 2002, to provide coverage for an annual cervical cancer screening test upon the referral of the patient's health care provider. This bill would require a health care service plan contract or health insurance policy, except for a vision-only, dental-only, or Medicare supplement contract or policy, issued, amended, or renewed on or after January 1, 2027, to provide coverage without cost sharing for cervical cancer screening, including the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) -authorized or cleared self-collected cervical screening kits, when ordered or provided by an in-network provider and consistent with specified recommendations published by the State Department of Public Health. For health savings account-eligible plans or policies, the bill would require the above-described coverage only to the extent the plan is a high deductible health plan under specified federal law. Because a willful violation of the bill's requirements relative to health care service plans would be a crime, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. (2) Existing law provides for the Medi-Cal program, administered by the State Department of Health Care Services and under which health care services are provided to low-income individuals pursuant to a schedule of benefits. The Medi-Cal program is, in part, governed and funded by federal Medicaid program provisions. An annual cervical cancer test for screening or diagnostic purposes, upon the referral of a patient's physician, is a covered benefit under the Medi-Cal program to the extent required or permitted by federal law. This bill would instead include cervical cancer tests for screening that are ordered by a patient's health care provider and consistent with specified recommendations published by the State Department of Public Health as a covered benefit under the Medi-Cal program on or after January 1, 2027. The bill would additionally include FDA-authorized or cleared cervical cancer home test kits for screening that are ordered by a patient's health care provider and consistent with specified recommendations published by the State Department of Public Health and Medi-Cal policies as a covered benefit under the Medi-Cal program on or after January 1, 2027, without cost sharing, to the extent that federal financial participation is available and not otherwise jeopardized and any necessary federal approvals have been obtained. (3) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
