Existing law establishes procedures by which an arrestee's blood
may be tested, either voluntarily or by court order, for specified
communicable diseases when a peace officer, firefighter, custodial
officer, custody assistant, nonsworn uniformed employee of a law
enforcement agency, or emergency medical personnel is exposed to an arrestee's blood or bodily fluids, as defined, while the peace
officer, firefighter, custodial officer, custody assistant, nonsworn uniformed employee of a law enforcement agency, or emergency medical personnel is acting within the scope of his or her duties.
This bill would add nonsworn employees of a law enforcement agency whose job description includes the collection of fingerprints to the list of persons to which these provisions apply. Because this bill increases the duties of local officials, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. |

SB 810

Existing law does not provide a system of universal health care coverage for California residents. Existing law provides for the creation of various programs to provide health care services to persons who have limited incomes and meet various eligibility requirements. These programs include the Healthy Families Program administered by the Managed Risk Medical Insurance Board, and the Medi-Cal program administered by the State Department of Health Care Services. Existing law provides for the regulation of health care service plans by the Department of Managed Health Care and health insurers by the Department of Insurance.
This bill would establish the California Healthcare System to be administered by the newly created California Healthcare Agency under the control of a Healthcare Commissioner appointed by the Governor and subject to confirmation by the Senate. The bill would make all California residents eligible for specified health care benefits under the California Healthcare System, which would, on a single-payer basis, negotiate for or set fees for health care services provided through the system and pay claims for those services. The bill would provide that a resident of the state with a household income, as specified, at or below 200% of the federal poverty level would be eligible for the type of benefits provided under the Medi-Cal program. The bill would require the commissioner to seek all necessary waivers, exemptions, agreements, or legislation to allow various existing federal, state, and local health care payments to be paid to the California Healthcare System, which would then assume responsibility for all benefits and services previously paid for with those funds. |
