Bill overview
This bill amends California’s Medical Practice Act to include qualified autism service paraprofessionals as ‘health care providers.’ Currently, this definition only included certified autism service providers and professionals. By expanding the definition, the bill aims to better recognize and support the role of paraprofessionals in providing autism-related healthcare services, often delivered through telehealth. Importantly, the bill also clarifies that no state reimbursement is required for local agencies or school districts due to the creation of a new crime.
