Bill overview
This bill updates California’s law protecting patient medical information (CMIA) to include immigration status and place of birth when known. It defines ‘immigration enforcement’ broadly and prohibits healthcare providers, plans, and contractors from disclosing this information for immigration-related purposes. The bill also requires healthcare facilities to implement procedures for monitoring visitors and notifying management of requests for patient access related to immigration enforcement, and clarifies reimbursement obligations for state-mandated programs.
