SB 503 (Weber Pierson, D-San Diego) Details
Passed the Assembly Health Committee on July 8. July 16 hearing in the Assembly Privacy and Consumer Protection Committee.
SB 503 would require that health care providers make reasonable efforts to identify when patient care decision support tools use input variables that reflect protected characteristics, as well as mitigate any potential risk of discrimination that could result from the use of those tools. This is already required by federal law. With these amendments, CHA has moved to a support position.
