AB 1386: Health facilities: perinatal services.
What AB 1386 does, verified February 3, 2026
This bill would require general acute care hospitals to provide perinatal services, which include prenatal, delivery, and postnatal care, starting from a future year. The state department of public health would need to establish a process to approve or deny plans for hospitals that don't currently offer perinatal services. Hospitals that don't provide perinatal services would need to submit a plan to the department by a certain date, outlining how they will meet the requirement. This bill would not require the state to reimburse local agencies for the costs of implementing this requirement.
