INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Hadley

                        FEBRUARY 19, 2016

   An act to amend Section 1569 of the Health and Safety Code,
relating to care facilities.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2747, as introduced, Hadley. Residential care facilities.
   Under existing law, the California Residential Care Facilities for
the Elderly Act, the State Department of Social Services licenses
and regulates residential care facilities for the elderly. Under the
act, the Legislature finds and declares that, due to a greater demand
for residences for the elderly that provide care and supervision,
residential care facilities for the elderly are licensed as a
separate category from community care facilities. Under the act, no
residential care facility for the elderly can accept a person needing
care beyond the level of care for which that facility is licensed.
   This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to those
provisions.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 1569 of the Health and Safety Code is amended
to read:
   1569.  This chapter shall be  known   known,
 and may be  cited   cited,  as the
California Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly Act.
