What SB 1422 does, verified July 13, 2026

The bill aims to amend Medi-Cal eligibility rules regarding immigration status. It would make individuals 19 years of age or older without satisfactory immigration status eligible for full-scope Medi-Cal benefits, with some limitations. These limitations include paying premiums and certain dental benefits. The bill would not apply to pregnant individuals or those under 19 years of age. The state would be required to reimburse local agencies and school districts for costs mandated by the state if the commission on state mandates determines the bill contains such costs.
