What AB 2194 does, verified September 11, 2026

The bill aims to amend the Medi-Cal program in California by making changes to the governance structure of the Orange County Health Authority, also known as Caloptima. The commission will have a 10-member governing body, with two members from the Orange County Board of Supervisors and one alternate member. The terms of the members will be staggered, with three members serving 2-year terms and the rest serving 4-year terms. The alternate member from the Board of Supervisors will have the same access to commission records as any other member. The bill also makes legislative findings and declarations about the necessity of a special statute for the county. The bill does not require state reimbursement for certain costs.
