AB 1945, as introduced, Wieckowski. Long-term health care facilities.
Under existing law, the State Department of Public Health regulates the licensure and operation of various health facilities, including long-term health care facilities. Existing law prohibits a long-term health care facility from accepting or retaining a patient for whom it cannot provide adequate care.
This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to that provision.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no. State-mandated local program: no.
