Bill overview
This bill updates California law to improve access to personal care, assistance, and in-home respite services for individuals with developmental disabilities. It requires organizations providing these services to be licensed under the Home Care Services Consumer Protection Act and for their employees to be on the home care aide registry. The bill also expands the Aging and Disability Resource Connection (ADRC) program to include a statewide respite referral registry and a consumer-directed employer program, aiming to connect Medi-Cal recipients with culturally competent respite providers.
