*********** ANALYSIS ADDENDUM - SUSPENSE FILE ***********
The following information is revised to reflect amendments
adopted by the committee on August 11, 2016
Bill
Summary: AB 1726 would require specified state agencies to
collect and tabulate demographic data for additional Asian,
Native Hawaii, and other Pacific Islander groups.
Fiscal
Impact:
One-time costs of at least $150,000 to make computer system
upgrades by the Department of Health Care Services to allow
for the collection of more detailed demographic data (General
Fund and federal funds). According to the Department, current
computer systems used to manage enrollment and benefits for

the Medi-Cal program do not allow for the collection of
demographic information at the level of detail required in the
bill. The computer systems that would require modification
include three state operated systems and three county-operated
systems used to enroll individuals in Medi-Cal.
One-time costs of about $600,000 per year for two years for
the Department of Public Health to make system changes to
several systems for collecting public health data, to meet the
requirements of the bill (General Fund).
One-time costs of about $10,000 and ongoing cost of about
$10,000 per year for the California State University System to
upgrade computer systems and ensure proper reporting of
student data (General Fund).
No significant costs are anticipated by the California
Community College System, as the Chancellor's Office
anticipates that the delayed implementation in the bill will
allow community college districts to incorporate the required
data system changes as part of their ongoing system
maintenance (General Fund).
No significant costs are anticipated by the University of
California (General Fund).
Author
Amendments: Delay implementation for the Department of Public
Health and the Department of Health Care Services and clarify
the reporting requirements.
