Governor signs 46 bills, including Medi-Cal coordination of benefits (AB 1126), Medi-Cal work or community engagement (AB 2161) and the health omnibus (SB 1447)

Legal effect

What this establishes

• AB 1126 (Patterson) — Medi-Cal managed care plans: enrollees with other health care coverage.
• AB 2161 (Bonta) — Medi-Cal eligibility: work or community engagement.
• AB 1907 (Addis) — California Health Benefit Exchange.
• SB 1445 (Senate Business, Professions and Economic Development Committee) — Healing arts.
• SB 1447 (Senate Health Committee) — Health omnibus.
• SB 1150 (Jones) — Cancer data: notifications. SB 1311 (Wahab) — Licensed professions. SB 1368 (Wahab) — Speech-language pathologists, audiologists and hearing aid dispensers.
• AB 2773 — Occupational Therapy Board licensing fees. AB 2774 (Berman) — Physical Therapy Board. AB 2775 (Berman) — Chiropractic Act. AB 1999 (Kalra) — Veterinary medicine.

What this does not establish

• Action on any of the eight tracked health measures still awaiting the Governor; none appears on this list.
• What SB 1445 changes in the Medical Practice Act, which this record has not yet read.
• How AB 2161 will operate in Medi-Cal eligibility, which depends on the chaptered text and DHCS implementation.

Why it matters

Board-sunset and omnibus bills rarely make headlines, but they are where licensing procedure changes. They are read before any Medical Board process page on this site is revised.
