Existing law establishes the Minimum Essential Coverage Individual Mandate to require an individual who is a California resident to ensure that the individual, and any spouse or dependent of the individual, is enrolled in and maintains minimum essential medical coverage for each month, except as specified. Existing law imposes the Individual Shared Responsibility Penalty for the failure to maintain minimum essential coverage, as determined and collected by the Franchise Tax Board, in collaboration with the California Health Benefit Exchange, as specified. This bill would require the Franchise Tax Board to waive the Individual Shared Responsibility Penalty for an individual who either was enrolled in minimum essential coverage for at least 6 consecutive months during the taxable year, or had at least one verified meeting with a specified employee to discuss the individual's health care insurance purchasing options. The bill would require verification of a meeting with a specified employee under penalty of perjury, and would thereby impose a state-mandated local program. 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.
This measure would designate the week of January 30, 2022, to February 5, 2022, inclusive, as Physician Anesthesiologist Week.
