   AB 391, as introduced, Wieckowski. Community care facilities.
   The California Community Care Facilities Act provides for the
licensure and regulation of community care facilities by the State
Department of Social Services. Existing law authorizes the department
to deny an application for, or suspend or revoke, any license, or
any administrator certificate, or deny a transfer of a license under
certain circumstances.
   This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to these
provisions.
