About this statute

This section defines key terms used in the CalSavers retirement savings title. This section creates the CalSavers Retirement Savings Board and sets rules for how the board, program administrator, and staff must operate. This section creates the CalSavers Retirement Savings Trust, assigns the board to administer it, requires the board to split trust money into a program fund and an administrative fund, and gives the Treasurer and the board investment-related powers. It also caps administrative fund spending at 1% of the total program fund after six years from implementation and exempts certain securities from specified Corporations Code sections. The CalSavers Retirement Savings Program must include one or more payroll deduction IRA arrangements, as determined by the board. The board has broad authority over the trust, including contracts, investments, staff, insurance, cooperation, and rulemaking.

(b) Before a prisoner’s release to medical probation, the sheriff, or his or her designee, shall secure a placement option for the prisoner in the community and, in consultation with the county welfare department or another applicable county agency, examine the prisoner’s eligibility for federal Medicaid benefits or other medical coverage that might assist in funding the prisoner’s medical treatment while in the community. (c) During the time on probation pursuant to this section, the probation officer or court may, at any time, request a medical reexamination of the probationer by a physician who has oversight for providing medical care to prisoners in a county jail, or the physician’s designee.

After a probationer is released from medical probation, the county shall no longer be required to pay the nonfederal share of the Medi-Cal costs.

The chief probation officer shall notify the State Department of Health Care Services, in writing, when a Medi-Cal eligible probationer’s term of medical probation ends. (B) For the period of time the offender is on medical probation: (i) Reimburses the State Department of Health Care Services for the nonfederal share of the Medi-Cal costs and any medical costs paid by the State Department of Health Care Services that are not reimbursable pursuant to Title XIX or XXI of the federal Social Security Act, for an offender released pursuant to this section.
