*********** ANALYSIS ADDENDUM - SUSPENSE FILE ***********
The following information is revised to reflect amendments
adopted by the committee on August 27, 2015
Bill
Summary: AB 601 would expand the scope of information that
prospective residential care facility for the elderly (RCFE)
licensees must provide to the Department of Social Services
(DSS). Additionally, this bill would require the DSS to
cross-check RCFE licensee applicant information with the
Department of Public Health (DPH) and post specified information
on the DSS website to the extent the automated system can
electronically accommodate additional information.
Fiscal
Impact:
Increase in DSS workload, potentially in excess of $150,000
(General Fund), to cross-check information electronically
against DPH information and to compile and analyze the
additional information provided by all RCFE licensees. Ongoing

workload to post and update the RCFE information on the DSS
website is estimated to be minor and absorbable.
Potential future cost pressure (General Fund) to update the
automation system to accommodate all of the specified RCFE
profile information.
Likely minor ongoing enforcement costs (General Fund), offset
to a degree by penalty revenue, to the extent DSS assesses
civil penalties for material violations of the provisions of
this measure.
Committee
Amendments: Make one technical change.
