Overview
This bill ensures that Aging and Disability Resource Connection (ADRC) programs in California can continue operating smoothly even if their partner agencies (area agencies on aging or independent living centers) experience temporary difficulties. It prohibits the California Department of Aging from revoking an ADRC’s designation solely due to issues with its partner agencies, allowing the remaining agency to maintain operations during a transition period while a new partner is found. The program aims to provide information and assistance to older adults, caregivers, and people with disabilities regarding long-term services and supports.
