AB 334 |
MANDATORY LOSS/THEFT REPORTING (Defeated for 2007) - AB 334, as amended, Fuentes. Medi-Cal: eligibility: inmates. Existing law provides for the Medi-Cal program, which is
administered by the State Department of Health Care Services, and
under which qualified low-income persons receive health care
benefits. The Medi-Cal program is governed, in part, by federal
Medicaid provisions. Existing law, commencing the later of January 1, 2010, or the date
that all necessary federal approvals are obtained, requires, to the
extent permitted under federal law, Medi-Cal benefits provided to an
individual under 21 years of age who is an inmate of a public
institution to be suspended, rather than terminated. Existing law
requires county welfare departments to notify the department within
10 days of receiving information that an individual under 21 years of
age on Medi-Cal in the county is or will be an inmate of a public
institution. Existing law also requires, by a specified time period,
the department, in consultation with the Chief Probation Officers of
California and the County Welfare Directors Association, to establish
the protocols and procedures necessary to implement these
provisions. This bill would expand , with certain modifications,
the above provisions, commencing the later of January 1, 2011, or the
date that all necessary federal approvals are obtained, to the
extent permitted under federal law, to an individual who is 21 years
of age or older who is an inmate of a public institution. By expanding the duties of county welfare departments, this bill
would 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, 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 these
statutory provisions. Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: yes.

AB 854 |
PUBLICATIONS (Passed) - AB 854, Arambula. Employment regulation and supervision: unpaid
wages. Existing law provides for the regulation of farm labor contractors
and of garment manufacturers by the Labor Commissioner and for their
licensure and registration, respectively, by the commissioner. This bill would require an applicant for licensure as a farm labor
contractor, for registration as a garment manufacturer, for renewal
or reinstatement of the license or registration, and for a change in
key personnel, to submit a statement as to whether he or she has
satisfied all requirements involving unpaid wages in a final court
judgment, as defined, a final order issued by the commissioner, or an
accord. The bill would subject any person who provides false
information on the statement to a civil penalty, as specified. The
bill would require the commissioner to deny the application if the
statement shows unpaid wages, unless the applicant submits a bond or
cash deposit to guarantee payment of the wages or a notarized accord
demonstrating satisfaction of the obligation. The bill would require
the commissioner to suspend the license or registration of a farm
labor contractor or a garment manufacturer who made a false
representation in the statement and would make reinstatement
contingent on the applicant demonstrating compliance with the unpaid
wages requirements or submitting an accord showing satisfaction of
that obligation. The bill would require a licensee or registrant to
notify the commissioner within 90 days of a final court judgment,
final order issued by the commissioner, or an accord imposing
requirements relating to unpaid wages and submit with the notice
security, as previously described, for the unpaid wages. The bill
would prohibit a licensee or registrant from having a person who is a
named judgment debtor in a final court order or order issued by the
commissioner for unpaid wages serving in a key personnel capacity and
would require the commissioner to suspend the license or
registration of a person who violates this prohibition. The bill
would require a licensee or registrant to pay to the Labor
Commissioner all reasonable costs incurred in adverse license or
registration activities, as defined, under its provisions.
