AB 499: Robert F. Kennedy Farm Workers Medical Plan.

California · Assembly · 2025–2026 Regular Session · last verified December 6, 2025

What AB 499 does, verified December 6, 2025

The bill would modify a state program that provides financial support to a nonprofit medical plan for farm workers. The plan helps pay for health care costs for eligible employees or their dependents. Currently, the state reimburses the plan up to $3,000,000 per year for claims exceeding $70,000. The bill would lower this threshold to $50,000, allowing the state to reimburse the plan for more claims. This change aims to provide more support to the farm workers' medical plan, increasing access to healthcare services.
