The California legislature intended AB 1195 and AB 241 to "encourage physicians and surgeons to meet the cultural and linguistic concerns" of California's diverse patient population. Planners, faculty and speakers are central to adhering to state law as noted in Business and Professions (B&P) Code 2190.2, which codifies the aforementioned legislation. Providing a link on the organization's website that refers to AB 1195 and AB 241 will encourage planners, faculty and speakers to consider legislative intent when planning, developing, executing and evaluating CME activities.
