What’s happening: The first round of expanded Hospital Supplier Diversity Reports required under Assembly Bill (AB) 1392 (2023) are due to the Department of Health Care Access and Information (HCAI) on July 1.
What else to know: In 2024, the Office of Administrative Law approved HCAI’s regulations to implement AB 1392. This year, the new reporting requirements are fully in effect — and HCAI has developed a new template to support and inform this updated reporting.
AB 1392 updated the law to require that, in addition to the existing required contents that detail what the hospital is doing to secure diverse suppliers, hospitals must also report their plans for future improvements to supplier diversity programming. Failure to report will incur a $100-per-day fine.
Stay tuned for reporting-related resources from CHA.
