Summary

The bill orders the Department of Health Care Services to launch an accessible, mobile‑friendly website by July 1 2027 that lists emergency‑care rights, payment‑assistance options, and each county’s medically indigent health‑care program details. It also obligates every county to file a plan by Jan 1 2028 outlining projected caseloads, costs, and workforce needs for serving uninsured, low‑income residents.
