Bill	Health care coverage: pervasive developmental disorder or autism.	Existing law, the Knox-Keene Health Care Service Plan Act of 1975 (Knox-Keene Act) , provides for the licensure and regulation of health care service plans by the Department of Managed Health Care and makes a willful violation of the act a crime. Existing law also provides for the regulation of health insurers by the Department of Insurance. Existing law requires a health care service plan contract or a health insurance policy to provide coverage for behavioral health treatment for pervasive developmental disorder or autism, and defines "behavioral health treatment" to mean specified services provided by, among others, a qualified autism service professional supervised and employed by a qualified autism service provider. Under existing law, to the extent required by the federal government and effective no sooner than required by the federal government, behavioral health treatment, as defined under the Knox-Keene Act, is a covered service under the Medi-Cal program for individuals under 21 years of age, as specified.	us/states/ca	California Legislature	20172018	AB 1074	California AB 1074 (20172018)	bill	Health care coverage: pervasive developmental disorder or autism.	enacted	Maienschein	8	24	8	2017-02-16	2017-09-30	openstates	ocd-bill/7d345360-e322-4aa6-bad8-adba4e3fb703	http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB1074	dc88a2fecf4391396857848dae1cd63e81acecace8139bd8c5d6b0f41891643c	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-ca
