What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the Department of Health Services (DHS) administers the

Medical Assistance (MA) program, under which eligible low-income individuals or

families receive health care benefits. This bill requires DHS to notify MA recipients,

at least 60 days in advance, before implementing any change under MA affecting

eligibility or benefits. The notice must be written in clear language that is

understandable to laypersons and must describe how the change will affect a

recipient.
