	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1981, as introduced, Feuer. Health facilities: clinics.
   Existing law, with certain exceptions, provides for the licensure
and regulation of health facilities and clinics, including primary
care and specialty clinics, by the State Department of Public Health.
Existing law requires primary care and specialty clinics to meet
certain criteria in order to be eligible for licensure.
   This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change 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 1201 of the Health and Safety Code is amended
to read:
   1201.  "License" means a basic permit to operate a clinic. A
license may only be  granted   issued  to a
clinic of a type enumerated in Section 1204 or 1204.1, and the
license shall not be transferable. However, the issuance of a license
upon a change of ownership shall not of itself constitute a project
within the meaning of Section 127170.
