Existing law prescribes specified criteria for certification of a long-term care insurance policy under the program, including a requirement that the policy provide levels and durations of benefits that meet minimum standards set by the department.	us/states/ca	California Legislature	20172018	SB 1248	California SB 1248 (20172018)	bill	California Partnership for Long-Term Care Program.	enacted	Gaines	7	28	8	2018-02-15	2018-09-19	openstates	ocd-bill/4f649616-bf4c-48b9-987c-037ee00d848c	http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB1248	a1bcc24c1a16983758e71ccfd3dc536fd80a0214dfe516a52d3a3b3b887898e1	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-ca
