	AMENDED IN ASSEMBLY  APRIL 8, 2010

INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member  Saldana   Beall


                        FEBRUARY 19, 2010

    An act relating to Medi-Cal.   An act to add
Section 2937.5 to the Civil Code, relating to mortgages. 


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2653, as amended,  Saldana   Beall  .
 Medi-Cal: treatment authorization requests.  
Residential property: transfer of mortgage.  
   Existing law requires any person transferring the servicing of
indebtedness to a different servicing agent to provide written notice
to the borrower, as specified.  
   This bill would provide that when the ownership of a mortgage or
deed of trust on residential real property is transferred to another
person, that person shall provide, upon request of the borrower, the
price paid for the indebtedness. This bill would also provide that
these provisions apply to real property purchased on or after January
1, 2005.  
   Existing law provides for the Medi-Cal program, which is
administered by the State Department of Health Care Services, and
pursuant to which, health care services are provided to qualified
low-income persons.  
   Under existing law, one of the utilization controls to which
services are subject under the Medi-Cal program is the treatment
authorization request (TAR) process, under which approval is required
by a department consultant in advance of the rendering of that
service, based upon a determination of medical necessity. Existing
law requires the department to pursue means to improve and streamline
the TAR process.  
   This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact
legislation that would implement reforms to the Medi-Cal treatment
authorization request process, as specified. 
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.

deed of trust.
   (b) These provisions would apply to residential real property
