there are things that are reported in CA:
Conditions that may trigger reporting include Alzheimer's disease and related disorders, seizure disorders, epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, vascular dementia, brain tumors, narcolepsy, sleep apnea, and abnormal metabolic states (including hypo-glycemia and hyperglycemia associated with diabetes). In addition, if the doctor reasonably and in good faith believes a patient's medical condition will impair safe driving, the doctor may choose to report the patient. Doctors are protected against civil and criminal liability for these confidential reports.
Thankfully, California does not have the exhaustive list that the UK does, because seriously, based on that list, everyone would have to report if they had a medical condition at all.
