What does this bill do?
This bill creates the Fair Share from Big Corporations Act and directs the California Department of Finance to give lawmakers options for making the state's largest corporations pay for taxpayer costs when their low‑wage employees are covered by Medi‑Cal (California's Medicaid program), including at least one option to charge a premium to employers with 250 or more workers who don’t offer health coverage. Each option must include data on how many workers at those companies are on Medi‑Cal, draft law language, and an analysis of costs and timelines, and the requirement is void if certain federal Medicaid provisions are repealed.

19000.3.The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
(a)Federal House Resolution 1 (Public Law 119-21) was passed on a partisan vote and signed by President Donald J. Trump on Independence Day, 2025.
(b)H.R. 1 made the largest cuts to the Medicaid program in history.
(c)H.R. 1 made these cuts in order to fund the largest tax breaks for big corporations in history, and those tax breaks amount to $900 billion in additional tax giveaways to profitable corporations at the expense of health insurance for low-income Americans.
(d)H.R. 1 gave these tax breaks to corporations regardless of whether they pay their workforce poverty wages, forcing their workforce to turn to safety net programs such as the Medicaid program.
(e)One of the most significant cuts in the Medicaid program, known as the Medi-Cal program in California, was a cut resulting from a new work and community engagement requirement.
(f)Data shows that 92 percent of adults who receive Medicaid benefits are working and are getting paid poverty wages.
(g)A 2022 Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report notes that, despite the rhetoric, work requirements are not likely to lead to increased employment unless paired with targeted work supports, such as childcare and transportation.
(h)Being denied health care does not make anyone better at finding a job, keeping a job, or getting more hours at the job they already have.
(i)Being threatened with losing health care does not help the millions of working adults who currently receive Medi-Cal benefits to increase their wages enough to afford nongovernment-funded health care or secure a job that has adequate health coverage.
(j)A growing body of research shows a healthy workforce provides businesses with a competitive advantage.
(k)When a big corporation relies on Medi-Cal to provide their employees with health insurance, they are relying on what amounts to taxpayer subsidies to gain the competitive advantage of a healthy workforce.
(l)The Department of Finance and the Legislative Analysts Office have both reported that growing Medi-Cal costs are a leading factor in the states long-term structural deficit.
(m)In large part due to the negative impacts of HR 1 on the states finances, the state can no longer afford to maintain current subsidies for big corporations in the form of paying full costs of their employees enrollment in the Medi-Cal program.
(n)If HR 1 remains in effect, legislation will be considered as early as 2027 requiring big corporations to pay their fair share for their employees health insurance and reduce the taxpayer burden of big corporations employees being enrolled in Medi-Cal.
19000.5.(a)(1)On or before March 1, 2027, the Department of Finance shall present to the Joint Legislative Budget Committee one or more options for holding the states largest corporations accountable for the taxpayer costs of their employees enrolled in the Medi-Cal program (Chapter 7 (commencing with Section 14000) of Part 3 of Division 9 of the Welfare and Institutions Code).

(1)Data prepared by the Employment Development Department, the State Department of Health Care Services, or other state departments working in cooperation with the Department of Finance, to show or estimate the number of workers at the states largest corporations who are enrolled in the Medi-Cal program, and other available information pertinent to the option.
(2)Proposed statutory language necessary to implement the option drafted by the Legislative Counsel Bureau.
(3)An analysis of the cost of, and timeline for, implementing the option, assuming that the option is enacted into law during the 2027 legislative session.
(c)(1)The requirement for submitting a report imposed under subdivision (a) is inoperative on March 1, 2031, pursuant to Section 10231.5 of the Government Code.
