           SUMMARY  

          This bill repeals several obsolete reporting requirements for 
          departments that administer or regulate health care programs.  
          Specifically, this bill deletes requirements that the following 
          departments submit reports on various topics relating to state 
          health programs: the Managed Risk Medical Insurance Board 
          (MRMIB), Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs (DADP), 
          Department of Managed Health Care (DMHC) and the California 
          Department of Insurance (CDI).

           FISCAL EFFECT  

          Negligible fiscal effect. This bill only repeals requirements 
          related to specific reports that have already been submitted to 
          the Legislature.

           COMMENTS  

           Rationale  . According to the author, statutory language 
          describing various reporting requirements is no longer 
          necessary, because in each case the due date for reports has 
          passed and the reports have been completed and submitted to the 
          Legislature.
