California AB1825 expands Medi-Cal services for inmates nearing release from state hospitals and public institutions.

California AB1825 allows qualifying inmates of public institutions or state hospitals to receive targeted Medi-Cal services for up to 90 days before their release, if they meet eligibility criteria. This bill mandates coordination between the court, county of supervision, and the county's behavioral health department to create an exit plan for the inmate's safe release. It also outlines procedures for parolees with severe mental health disorders, including hearings and evaluations to determine their eligibility for continued mental health treatment.
