New Laws Enacted | November 2024

The 2023-2024 Legislative Session concluded and legislators are now busy preparing for the upcoming election.  This year legislators tackled numerous issues among which included artificial intelligence, discrimination, privacy, health care system consolidation, health care coverage and undocumented persons.  CAHSAH’s major priority this year was achieving funding for Medi-Cal Private Duty Nursing skilled nursing rates.    

CAHSAH tracked over 200 bills during 2024, of which 76 were signed into law. We have prepared our Annual New Laws Report which includes the new laws enacted by subject matter that are related to our industry or that are employer related.  The bill number listed in the report is a direct link to the text of the new law.  The report specifies if the bill has an urgency statute and when the bill was enacted into law. Bills with an urgency clause go into effect immediately; otherwise, the implementation date for the new law is January 1, 2025.  A few of the major bills are summarized below. 

CAHSAH extends its sincere appreciation to all of you who took action when we sent advocacy Alerts.  Please continue to monitor the Weekly News Updates every Monday and review our Alerts so that you can remain engaged as we educate the Legislature about the importance of ensuring quality access.
