           SUMMARY  :  Contains necessary technical corrections as a result 
          of new policy adopted in the budget trailer bill, AB 97 (Budget 
          Committee), Chapter 3, Statutes of 2011.  Specifically,  this 
          bill  :

          1)Delinks licensure from Medi-Cal certification for adult day 
            health care centers (ADHCs).  Current law requires ADHCs to be 
            certified Medi-Cal providers as a condition of licensure.  AB 
            97, eliminated adult day health care as a Medi-Cal optional 
            benefit.  This bill delinks certification and licensure. 

          2)Permits ADHCs to operate "adult day programs," for individuals 
            who do not require on-site medical care, without obtaining an 
            additional social services license.  Specifies that:

             a)   The ADHC is to provide notice to the state;

             b)   An on-site inspection will not be required; and,

             c)   The local fire authority shall determine capacity 
               limits.

          3)Adds an appropriation allowing this bill to take effect 
            immediately upon enactment.
