HCAI Deputy Director Libby Abbott said the BH Connect workforce package would implement Behavioral Health Community-Based Organized Networks of Equitable Care and Treatment (BH Connect) workforce programs and Senate Bill 326/Proposition 1 workforce investments by requesting reimbursement and expenditure authority of up to $1.9 billion over five years and 57 positions to administer the programs. The request would include statutory authority to use third-party administrators and a contract-exemption for specific public-private awards to meet tight program timelines.

On CalRx, HCAI said the May Revision proposes redirecting $5 million of previously deferred CalRx funding toward other public-health priority drugs at risk of market failure—HCAI cited school albuterol access as a near-term target—and reverting about $45 million of the prior allocation for an in-state insulin manufacturing facility after a feasibility review concluded a state build was not practical. HCAI said CivicaRx remains the primary vehicle for low-cost insulin procurement and that the manufacturing facility work continues outside California.

HCAI also described a diaper access initiative proposing a universal, three-month newborn diaper supply distributed through hospitals with a two-year phase-in (proposed $7.5 million in 2025–26 and $12.5 million in 2026–27). HCAI officials said they issued a request for information (RFI) and have heard from diaper banks about storage and distribution capacity; HCAI offered to coordinate consolidated purchasing and explore partnerships with existing diaper-bank infrastructure.

The Legislative Analyst’s Office told the committee the diaper proposal might be more cost-effective or better targeted if it leverages existing programs—such as CalWORKs subsidies and local diaper banks—and suggested alternatives for achieving diaper access goals without a universal distribution model.

Advocates representing diaper banks urged the committee to preserve the existing diaper-bank network and ongoing funding while any new program is designed. HCAI and DOF officials said they would continue to gather RFI input and consider operational concerns expressed by hospitals and diaper banks.

Ending: The committee asked HCAI to provide additional details on the BH Connect funding and federal match assumptions, the CalRx reallocation plan and timelines for drug availability, and a clear operational plan for diaper distribution that avoids unintended interruptions to current diaper-bank operations.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Assembly Budget Subcommittee No. 1 on Health (1)","oneSentenceSummary","HCAI representatives told the Assembly on May 23 that the May Revision seeks to implement the BH Connect workforce initiative through a major multi-year funding package, redirect a portion of CalRx funds toward high-priority drugs like school albuterol access and pilot a universal newborn diaper supply distributed through hospitals.","taxTitle","California State Assembly, House, Legislative, California","taxId",17099,"location","California","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6528161,"Administration proposes PBM licensure and PBM data reporting to HCAI; DMHC to enforce compliance",2009,10771000,12780000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3427142-925f270b84cbb3d60a4ace1115891a52&start=10771&end=12780","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3427142-925f270b84cbb3d60a4ace1115891a52/thumbnail_10771000.jpg","/articles/6528161/California/Administration-proposes-PBM-licensure-and-PBM-data-reporting-to-HCAI-DMHC-to-enforce-compliance","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6528161-9ad5ed6dec5a5cd0af726635618a4900/orig.mp4?Expires=1771140129&Signature=IKos-OFimt8akyv1cquV69HKhvOmf0SsHiZwyMA7dRLEaj9~P5s6b0S8IwzAOQ2v9oxummZbtyZzWsNYxTD6UJt7YdPogpTsBHY63DhFtz0eESgq4e39zjGFolWXFCuExuYLPTZN7~Zwl~i4xtt20yqlyX9nuvE1bh71IlXgRTVYMgJi3ycJ~M0dZGJa2TWwHokiocr6MFQ8J7pepc337eq6RwYfI93O7bv157rVpYjPnW1RgEG3AcChmrMmS2ZMRMnxkOOILgfAJj-sEXQdTYOFWvZon3yrav3erC98mxM5I9uaLdIDER8h-Mz7GLnZNQx2saOKFWJEFyWvMjX6MA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The May Revision proposes a two-part approach to increase transparency in prescription drug pricing: requiring pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) that contract with California health plans or insurers to obtain licensure and authorizing expanded data reporting to the Health Care Payments Data (HPD) program administered by the Department of Health Care Access and Information (HCAI).

Elizabeth Landsberg, HCAI director, told the Assembly Budget Subcommittee No. 1 on Health that the agency would require PBMs to become mandatory submitters to the HPD, which would collect PBM-specific data such as wholesale acquisition costs, average wholesale price, national drug codes, fees and rebates paid across the supply chain, and counts by plan and pharmacy ownership. HCAI sought six positions and funding to implement the reporting and data-analysis workload.

Mary Watanabe, director of the Department of Managed Health Care (DMHC), described complementary licensing language in the May Revision that would replace the current PBM registration with a licensure mandate. Under DMHC’s proposal, PBMs contracting with DMHC-regulated plans or California Department of Insurance-regulated insurers would be required to obtain a DMHC license, submit quarterly financial statements and other information, and face audit authority and civil enforcement by DMHC. DMHC said it expects to recover enforcement and program costs through assessments on licensed PBMs.

HCAI and DMHC officials framed the combined proposal as necessary to gather authoritative, auditable data on the vertically integrated market in which insurers, PBMs and pharmacies may be part of the same corporate family. Landsberg said HPD already receives claims and manufacturer price data and that PBM data are the missing piece for comprehensive analysis.

The Legislative Analyst’s Office advised caution in advancing significant policy changes in the May Revision. LAO staff Mark Newton said that substantive policy questions with limited budget impacts are typically better considered in the policy process outside the budget deadline and recommended the legislature consider whether to defer or decouple the statutory policy decisions from the near-term fiscal decision.

DMHC requested six positions and roughly $2.3 million in 2025–26 to stand up licensure and oversight activities; HCAI requested staff and one-time funding for data ingestion, analysis and HPD expansion. Both agencies said the proposals are structured to be revisited in the annual budget process as the program’s resource needs become clearer.

Ending: The subcommittee did not take final action. Members asked for more detailed cost estimates and implementation timelines. Legislators raised questions about enforcement, the overlap of authority between HCAI and DMHC, and whether the administration could reduce staffing costs by phasing in responsibilities.","The Governor's May Revision would require pharmacy benefit managers that contract with health plans or insurers to obtain a state license and to report detailed pricing and financial data to the Healthcare Payments Data program, officials from HCAI and DMHC told an Assembly budget subcommittee on May 23.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6528177,"Lawmakers, grantees warn May Revision cut to California Reducing Disparities Project will end contracts midstream",6957,2142000,9099000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3427142-925f270b84cbb3d60a4ace1115891a52&start=2142&end=9099","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3427142-925f270b84cbb3d60a4ace1115891a52/thumbnail_2142000.jpg","/articles/6528177/California/Lawmakers-grantees-warn-May-Revision-cut-to-California-Reducing-Disparities-Project-will-end-contracts-midstream","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6528177-0f99fafcf3e14b00cf963a0b3a902960/orig.mp4?Expires=1771140129&Signature=HLRM7J43F9RBM5vvnqOrLB068aJtL1MS2E2xtBvDds9AgRGLL1xx2k7ztSKgSfku9Dn4~F78K39zZZ61FhFINldNrzpHURvmXSiwR43FC3SAECD4toFIo9nmA7bmAGu-GV9tub1bDR98izNLqLgkflfwlNDhw41Fgi99QnVPQnVXIaOJcO3Kip5ZkbM1TVTRLUEVjsubJljXw7PIJSOzhIF9mUq3dtELQAaK082n3x0MkWCGSDgfLWy-VSmnhwbyB32Ona67FVx6FfwV5ZvycuMOXtN0qzMC5oAG7a88dmniNpqcZAX3b3sxwe6peVGg0v5~pQTFMZdffXDMy06G4Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Assembly Budget Subcommittee No. 1 on Health members and dozens of community providers urged state finance and health officials on May 23 to reverse a proposed $15.8 million reversion to the California Reducing Disparities Project, warning the reduction would end active contracts and disrupt services to historically underserved communities.

The subcommittee heard testimony that CRDP supports community-defined, culturally responsive prevention and early intervention programs for African American, Latinx, Asian, Pacific Islander, Native American and LGBTQ+ communities. “These are mid-contract grantees delivering critical health programming,” Assemblymember Zuber said during his opening remarks, noting the May Revision’s summary did not clearly disclose the proposed cut.

The Department of Public Health acknowledged the reversion in its May Revision overview. Brandon Nunes, CDPH chief deputy director for operations, told the committee the CRDP reversion was among a set of one-time funds that the administration identified as available to help close a projected $12 billion state budget shortfall. Nunes said about 33 grants and nine contracts (roughly 40 awards) were affected and that the contracts were scheduled to extend through June 2026.

CRDP grantees and evaluators told the panel the programs show measurable benefits and that an abrupt reversion would interrupt implementation and evaluation. “We have evaluated this program. We have one more year to complete. There’s thousands of people in the middle of getting care,” said Elia de la Cristo Leduci, a senior researcher with Loyola Marymount University’s statewide evaluation team, who said the evaluation shows a benefit-cost ratio of up to $5 returned for every dollar invested.

Multiple local providers described services that would end or be scaled back if funding is reverted. Safe Passages CEO Josefina Alvarado Mena said the Oakland-based program serves hundreds of youth and would have 26 active participants left in the middle of ongoing services if the funding stops. Representatives from Muslim American Society Social Service Foundation, Asian American Recovery Services and several rural, tribal and Black-led providers made similar appeals.

Assemblymembers on the dais expressed frustration with the budget trade-off and asked CDPH and the Department of Finance for more detail on why CRDP was selected. Chair Addis pressed the Department of Finance to explain alternatives and stressed the small size of the reversion relative to the overall shortfall. Will Owens of the Legislative Analyst’s Office said the administration must provide more backup documentation on the Behavioral Health Services Fund (formerly the Mental Health Services Fund) and its available balance before the legislature can complete a fiscal assessment.

CDPH and other witnesses said some of the impacted funding items were one-time appropriations that would have expired in 2026 and that reverting them now was a tool to reduce current-year general fund exposure. Christine Chador, who cited CDPH’s CRDP evaluation, told the subcommittee the programs have been effective at delivering mental health services to underserved communities.

Public commenters filled the hearing room. Many identified their organization, the CRDP-funded program they operate or the communities they serve, and urged the subcommittee to “reject the proposed $15.8 million cut.” Dozens of speakers said the programs are saving lives and building trust with communities that otherwise avoid care.

The chair closed the item urging the administration to return with alternatives and more detailed impact analyses. “I did a tiny bit of math,” the chair said, “and we’re talking about 0.13% of the budget shortfall. Consider whether there are other less painful options.” The committee then proceeded to other agenda items.

Ending: The committee did not take a vote on CRDP funding during this hearing. Members asked CDPH and the Department of Finance to report back with detailed fiscal backup, estimated service and job impacts if the reversion proceeds, and options that would avoid interrupting services mid-contract.","Assembly Budget Subcommittee No. 1 on Health heard pleas from Assemblymembers, public health officials and dozens of community providers on May 23 to restore about $15.8 million in funding for the California Reducing Disparities Project after the Governor's May Revision proposed reverting the money as a budget solution.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6528166,"State Hospitals budget trimmed; department says IST and service levels will be preserved",1519,9217000,10736000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3427142-925f270b84cbb3d60a4ace1115891a52&start=9217&end=10736","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3427142-925f270b84cbb3d60a4ace1115891a52/thumbnail_9217000.jpg","/articles/6528166/California/State-Hospitals-budget-trimmed-department-says-IST-and-service-levels-will-be-preserved","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6528166-54fc3c382e898e5b01997b744f83bb89/orig.mp4?Expires=1771140129&Signature=X2OW~FaiLEMguTYKzObqlewAgx25l6SOSFullfGb7jJjeILJtzTxTIpl4hsBKlsDOrno4eF1ZTkacb4xFDdgY5ju8~gvSNhYKIRaW~mZj8rQm~hnbBnF0qNF1VAF6ehDNltgYancdhyB~DcGOnDmC8-0Em4Z9K39o6~iy7Zt5Ijs-MZNpQC~9o6am9maXph1Fvu8NfXsfzGGQbvMix4p38Zl-BKvVwaxF8kkNPwe6ZLU6w2wEqWZLQejj3ajyLOkUKdl2y9WBKAHfYM0Ez9DGzqeDHHkLlQmhbz-ZENF~tRwZfLlVHnrIQanY5arXbVBt64m1S2E5OWWbOyfmkK-cA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Department of State Hospitals (DSH) told the Assembly Budget Subcommittee No. 1 on Health on May 23 that the Governor’s May Revision reduces the department’s proposed budget by approximately $191.5 million relative to the January proposal and contains a mix of operational efficiency adjustments, position authority changes and reappropriations to capital projects.

DSH Director Stephanie Clendenin said the May Revision reduces DSH’s total proposed budget to about $3.2 billion and includes a net reduction of roughly 100.8 positions for 2025–26; a larger set of position authority adjustments proposed earlier in the cycle are reflected in the overall reductions. The department described multiple proposed general fund solutions intended to align projected expenditures with available revenues.

Key program-level adjustments include rightsizing funding for incompetent to stand trial (IST) solutions programs: DSH proposes reductions to early access and stabilization services, community-based restoration and diversion funding, and county collaborative workgroup grants. Those IST adjustments total roughly $161.1 million in 2025–26 (with larger multi-year adjustments thereafter), which the department said reflect current contract and expenditure levels and lower-than-anticipated referral and enrollment rates.

Clendenin and Chief Deputy Director Brent Hauser said DSH did not expect service delivery to decline as a result of the IST rightsizing. “These adjustments reflect current contract and expenditure levels with private providers in the counties and provide funding to maintain on an ongoing basis the current service levels in these programs,” Clendenin told the subcommittee.

The department also proposed reappropriating $7.5 million for electronic health record plant planning and an appropriation for construction phases for capital projects, including a hydronic loop replacement at Coalinga. Staff said the Coalinga hydronic loop project is necessary because the existing piping system is deteriorated, has required emergency repairs and can disrupt daily patient living activities; the department said it had completed preliminary plans and working drawings and was prepared to award a construction contract if construction funding is secured.

Other operational proposals include implementing prior authorization and utilization management software for certain specialty care services, modest reductions tied to current isolation unit utilization (related to COVID-19-era capacity), a telepsychology pilot at Coalinga using reassigned vacant positions and a county billing reimbursement authority increase to reflect negotiated rate changes and projected census trends.

Labor and provider groups testified to significant staffing shortages and vacancy rates across the state hospitals system. Union representatives pointed to high vacancy and overtime levels and urged the subcommittee to consider impacts of contracting-out and workforce retention rather than deeper position cuts.

Ending: The subcommittee did not take final action. Members asked DSH and Department of Finance to provide additional details on the IST projections, the rationale for the contract-level adjustments and the Coalinga hydronic project bid status before the budget is finalized.","The Department of State Hospitals told an Assembly budget subcommittee on May 23 that the Governor’s May Revision reduces its proposed budget by about $191.5 million and would adjust positions, IST program allocations and capital project timing, but the department said current service levels would be maintained.",{"_33":113,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":114,"_41":115,"_43":116,"_45":117,"_47":118,"_49":119,"_51":120,"_53":121,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":122,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":123,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6528172,"Behavioral Health Services Fund proposal would eliminate $20 million in Mental Health Wellness Act grants, commission warns",622,2722000,3344000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3427142-925f270b84cbb3d60a4ace1115891a52&start=2722&end=3344","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3427142-925f270b84cbb3d60a4ace1115891a52/thumbnail_2722000.jpg","/articles/6528172/California/Behavioral-Health-Services-Fund-proposal-would-eliminate-20-million-in-Mental-Health-Wellness-Act-grants-commission-warns","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6528172-f82829c4579ba8e145c4bac31932cefd/orig.mp4?Expires=1771140129&Signature=hGqKD69J6~rN11b-Gwbn5eUDJf~wdlhrkJdfIHSVHTm8Mf25hBuDP9cTNol9lk1lFS044LDz8vKXlviYAxbjoo2fDXslGSRPL4Q12OhyYEzQnz46exu7Ezdw8IpEeGoXDPz6EN3VQklDc8T8iOxzbhqLn7PPJoPJdjqvdRAzXin~NgWD3KMHyNHVT~XT-zsAA45cmkQF2vT1afKaY1Nwa04S3RvZs5fiDGMXEO5Zpu~XpY62Xwqkn5ugWMu~coeRxGypKcJj~Md~KBTmaBTs3-YDyay77jdAE7f0xVbsn~TBACjTAXr2aM2lSgaGbHBCHoG0RCG9AVHyUSXMdTle3A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Assembly Budget Subcommittee No. 1 on Health heard on May 23 that the Governor’s May Revision proposes eliminating $20 million in Mental Health Wellness Act funds administered by the Behavioral Health Services Oversight and Accountability Commission, a change the commission said would eliminate immediate, locally based programs and undermine longer-term grantmaking capacity.

Elizabeth Castillo of the Department of Finance told the committee the May Revision temporarily eliminates the $20 million funding to utilize the Behavioral Health Services Fund to offset general fund costs amid a projected $12 billion structural shortfall. Castillo noted that the Behavioral Health Services Act (2023) authorizes up to $20 million in Innovation Partnership Fund awards for five years beginning in 2026–27, but that those innovation funds are time-limited and have a different statutory scope than the Mental Health Wellness Act grants.

Brenda Greilish, executive director of the Behavioral Health Services Oversight and Accountability Commission, told the committee the commission administers the Mental Health Wellness Act as its largest ongoing local assistance grant and that cutting the $20 million would immediately eliminate three launch-ready projects and, over time, effectively end the commission’s ongoing grantmaking capacity beyond fiscal year 2030–31.

Greilish detailed the three affected grants: a $20 million grant focused on services for children ages 0–5 (to be awarded to six community-based organizations and a technical assistance provider), a $20 million full-service partnerships grant intended to support performance-based contracting, and a $20 million peer respite grant that would launch later this year. The commission said those funds were developed with county, state and community partners to address gaps in crisis prevention, early intervention and crisis response.

Commissioner Rachelle Chambers, speaking as an appointed consumer representative, described peer respite services as voluntary, nonclinical alternatives to hospitalization that help people avoid emergency room visits and that such services often appeal to Black and Brown communities and birthing people. “This money will help mothers like me,” Chambers said, describing personal experience with postpartum trauma and reliance on community-based support.

Will Owens of the Legislative Analyst’s Office said the Behavioral Health Services Fund stems from the millionaires’ tax revenue that the state can allocate to behavioral health activities. Owens said LAO is awaiting further documentation on the total available amount in that fund and could not yet provide a definitive analysis of the administration’s proposal.

Ms. Greilish and commissioners told the committee that if the $20 million is cut, existing launch-ready programs would have to compete for Innovation Partnership Fund dollars beginning in 2026–27 against public, private and nonprofit entities, adding that the innovation fund carries “innovation” requirements that differ from the existing wellness act scope.

Public commenters representing disability, provider and advocacy groups echoed the commission’s concerns, urging the legislature to preserve the $20 million to maintain full-service partnerships, peer respites and early psychosis interventions. Several groups said the proposed cut would directly harm local crisis response goals and ongoing behavioral health system transformation efforts.

Ending: The subcommittee did not adopt a final budget action at the hearing. Members asked the Department of Finance and the commission to return with additional detail on alternatives and on the differences in scope and timing between the Mental Health Wellness Act funding and the Proposition 1 Innovation Partnership Fund.","The Governor's May Revision proposes eliminating roughly $20 million in Mental Health Wellness Act grant funds that support local partnerships and pilot programs; the Behavioral Health Services Oversight and Accountability Commission said the cut would terminate three launch-ready grants and imperil the commission's future grantmaking capacity.","actionData","errors"]
