INTRODUCED BY   Senator Hernandez

                        FEBRUARY 18, 2011

   An act to amend Section 128805 of the Health and Safety Code,
relating to public health.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 728, as introduced, Hernandez. Health data reports: contracts.
   Existing law establishes the Office of Statewide Health Planning
and Development and sets forth its powers and duties with respect to
health facility construction, health policy and planning, and health
professions development. Existing law, the Health Data and Advisory
Council Consolidation Act, requires the office, under contract with a
qualified consulting firm, to conduct a comprehensive review of the
financial and utilization reports that hospitals are required to file
with the office, and authorizes the office to enter into necessary
agreements and contracts.
   This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 128805 of the Health and Safety Code is amended
to read:
   128805.  The office may enter into agreements and contracts with
any person, department, agency, corporation, or legal entity as
 are  necessary to carry out the functions vested in
the office by this chapter or any other law.
