SB 449 California Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Health care service plan requirements.

Summary

Existing law, the Knox-Keene Health Care Service Plan Act of 1975, provides for the licensure and regulation of health care service plans by the Department of Managed Health Care. Existing law requires a health care service plan to meet specified requirements, and requires a health care service plan contract to provide to subscribers and enrollees specified basic health care services. This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to those provisions.

MINOR

No substantive policy changes occurred between these two versions. The difference is purely presentational: the first version is a traditional printed legislative document with line numbers and page headers, while the second is a web-based rendering of the same bill text from a state legislature website, complete with navigation menus and site chrome.

TECHNICAL

The bill was reformatted from a printed legislative document (with line numbers, page headers, and traditional layout) to a web page presentation that includes site navigation elements such as search bars, menu links, and metadata fields. The actual statutory text of Section 1367 amendments is identical in both versions.
