BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY Assembly Member Daucher

FEBRUARY 24, 2006

An act to add Section 14495.15 to the Welfare and Institutions
Code, relating to Medi-Cal, and declaring the urgency thereof, to
take effect immediately.



LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


AB 3019, as introduced, Daucher Medi-Cal: Community options and
assessment protocol.
Existing law provides for the Medi-Cal program, administered by
the State Department of Health Services, pursuant to which medical
benefits are provided to public assistance recipients and certain
other low-income persons. The Medi-Cal program is, in part, governed
and funded by federal Medicaid provisions.
This bill would authorize the department to develop and test the
Community Options and Assessment Protocol to minimize duplication and
redundancy of multiple assessments for home- and community-based
services and connect consumers under the Medi-Cal program.
This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an
urgency statute.
Vote: 2/3. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
