          Bill No:  AB 1766

           SUBJECT  :    Placer County Integrated Health and Human  
          Services Pilot 
                      Program

           SOURCE  :     Author


           DIGEST  :    This bill extends the sunset date on Placer  
          Countys integrated health and human services program from  
          July 1, 2011, to July 1, 2016.

           Senate Floor Amendments  of 8/20/10 delete the prior version  
          of the bill relating to disaster assistance, as specified,  
          for wildfires that began in Placer County, and, instead,  
          extend the sunset for Placer County's integrated health and  
          human services program.

           ANALYSIS  :    Existing law requires Placer County, upon  
          approval of the county, and with the assistance of the  
          appropriate state departments, to implement a pilot program  
          for the funding and delivery of services and benefits  
          through an integrated and comprehensive county health and  
          human services system.  Under existing law, these  
          provisions become inoperative on July 1, 2011, and are  
                                                           CONTINUED

          repealed on January 1, 2012.

           Comments  

          This bill responds to the Governor's veto of AB 2039  
          (Logue), 2009-10 Session, which would have made permanent  
          the authority for Placer County to operate its  integrated  
          health and human services program, which has been in pilot  
          status since it was first authorized in 1996.  The  
          Governor's veto stated:  "I do not believe it is  
          appropriate to permanently extend this program without some  
          ability to periodically evaluate its usefulness and  
          effectiveness."

          The current program authority expires on July 1, 2011.  As  
          a result, the author has gutted and amended this bill, so  
          that the program will have continued authority to operate  
          until July 1, 2016.  This bill, as amended, is the third  
          five-year extension of Placer County's program authority.
