Bill No: SB 93
Author: Senate Budget and Fiscal Review Committee
Amended: 7/11/11
Vote: 21
SENATE FLOOR : Not relevant
ASSEMBLY FLOOR : 48-27, 7/11/11 - See last page for vote
SUBJECT : Budget Act of 2011: Human Services
SOURCE : Author
DIGEST : This bill makes statutory changes necessary to
implement human services-related portions of the 2011-12
Budget Act.
Assembly Amendments delete the Senate version of the bill
expressing the intent of the Legislature to enact statutory
changes relating to the 2011 Budget Act and place current
language relating to human services.
ANALYSIS : Existing law provides for the In-Home
Supportive Services (IHSS) program, under which, either
through employment by the recipient, or by or through
contract by the county, qualified aged, blind, and disabled
persons receive services enabling them to remain in their
own homes. Counties are responsible for the administration
of the IHSS program. Under the Medi-Cal program, similar
services are provided to eligible individuals, with these

services known as personal care option services.
Existing law authorized an individual who was eligible for
IHSS services in the 1992-93 fiscal year, and who had
his/her services reduced pursuant to specified provisions,
but who believed that he/she was at serious risk of
out-of-home placement unless all or part of the reduced
hours were restored, to apply for an IHSS Care Supplement,
as prescribed.
Existing law established a similar reduction in authorized
IHSS service hours, which becomes operative only if a
specified medication machine pilot project does not achieve
a designated amount of savings to the General Fund, as
determined by the Department of Finance, and also
authorizes an individual whose services have been reduced,
and who believes that he/she is at serious risk of
out-of-home placement, to submit an IHSS Care Supplement
application, in accordance with specified provisions, in
order to have all or part of the service hour reduction
restored.
Existing law also requires the Department of Social
Services to implement a 3.6 percent reduction in service
hours to each IHSS recipient, until July 1, 2012.
Existing law, effective January 1, 2012, imposes an
additional 20 percent service hour reduction on IHSS
recipients, which would be operative only if a designated
provision of the Budget Act of 2011 is operative, and
establishes an IHSS Care Supplement process for any
individual who is notified of a reduction in service hours
under the bill, but who believes he/she is at serious risk
of out-of-home placement unless all or part of the
reduction is restored.
This bill (1) makes a technical correction to correctly
identify the component, subdivision (b), of Control Section
3.94 of the Budget Act of 2011 that would cause the
reduction in In-Home Supportive Services to be implemented
under the triggers included in the budget package, and (2)
adds an appropriation allowing this bill to take effect
immediately upon enactment.
