	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Chau

                        FEBRUARY 20, 2014

   An act to amend Section 11009.1 of the Welfare and Institutions
Code, relating to public social services.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2061, as introduced, Chau. Public social services: policies.
   Existing law provides for public social service programs,
including the CalWORKs program, the Medi-Cal Program, the State
Supplementary Program for the Aged, Blind, and Disabled, and
CalFresh. Existing law also provides that the value of free temporary
board and lodging given to a program recipient shall be considered
income only after the first month and to the extent the value exceeds
the continuing cost of maintaining the recipient's home.
   This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to that
provision.
   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 11009.1 of the Welfare and Institutions Code is
amended to read:
   11009.1.  The value of free board and lodging supplied to a
recipient during a temporary absence from his  or her  home
of not more than one month, shall be considered an inconsequential
resource and shall not be deducted from the amount of aid to which
the recipient is otherwise entitled.
   After an absence of one month, free board and lodging shall be
considered income to the extent the value exceeds the continuing cost
to the recipient of maintaining the home to which he  or she
 expects to return.
   This section shall not apply to recipients under Chapter 3
(commencing with Section 12000) of this part.
