	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 564, Portantino. Substance abuse treatment programs:
restrictions on compensation.
   Existing law provides for substance abuse treatment programs, as
specified.
   This bill would establish a limitation on the amount of
compensation a director, officer, or employee of a substance abuse
treatment facility may receive from public sources, not to exceed a
certain federal compensation limitation, and would establish
specified compensation requirements for any director, officer, or
employee who collects rent from a drug treatment facility. The bill
would require these restrictions on compensation to be terms of any
contract entered into in the state to provide drug treatment if,
under that contract, public funds are to be used to provide the drug
treatment.


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

  SECTION 1.  Division 10.75 (commencing with Section 11999.3.1) is
added to the Health and Safety Code, to read:

      DIVISION 10.75.  Compensation of Substance Abuse Treatment
Providers


   11999.3.1.  The following restrictions shall apply to the
compensation of any director, officer, or employee of any corporation
providing substance abuse treatment in the state, and shall be
required terms of any contract entered into in the state to provide
drug treatment if, under that contract, public funds are to be used
to provide the drug treatment:
   (a) The maximum amount of public funds that may be used for
compensation for a full-time director, officer, or employee shall not
exceed the salary limitation established by the federal government
on awards made by the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health
Services Administration (SAMHSA). This amount shall be prorated for
any person working less than full time.
   (b) Public funds shall not be used for compensation for any
director, officer, or employee who collects rent from a substance
abuse treatment facility unless that person certifies that he or she
is in compliance with the federal Office of Management and Budget
Circular A-122, relating to cost principles for nonprofit
organizations.
