SB 402: Health care coverage: autism.
This bill aims to amend the law to provide better health care coverage for individuals with autism. It would move definitions related to autism service providers and professionals from the health and safety code and insurance code to the business and professions code. The bill would also make technical and conforming changes to ensure consistency across different laws. Additionally, the bill incorporates changes proposed by other bills to expand coverage for autism-related services. These changes would only take effect if the bill and the other bills are enacted and this bill is enacted last. The bill's goal is to provide more comprehensive and consistent health care coverage for individuals with autism.
