Summary

The bill requires the University of California to set up a Health Mandates Review Program that studies proposed laws that would add or remove required services for hospitals. It also creates a Center for Health Provider Policy Impact to evaluate the broader effects of state and federal policies on hospitals. Funding comes from modest annual fees on hospitals, health‑plan insurers and a transfer from an existing health data fund.
