COURSE DESCRIPTION

The 2025 California legislative season ended at the end of September. CCCC has been tracking a number of bills at both the federal and state levels relevant to serious illness care and advance care planning. This members-only webinar will provide an update on important legislative actions, including likely impacts. We’ll also identify important policy developments and some emerging issues that will likely hit the docket in the new year.
