An act to add Section 11834.28 to the Health and Safety Code, relating to substance abuse.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 2200, as amended, Patterson.
Alcoholism or drug abuse recovery or treatment facilities.
Existing law provides for the licensing and regulation of alcoholism or drug abuse recovery or treatment facilities, as defined, by the State Department of Health Care Services. Existing law authorizes those facilities to provide incidental medical services to a resident of the facility if those medical services are provided by, or under supervision of, a licensed physician and surgeon who is knowledgeable about addiction medicine.
This bill would require a person who has responsibility for residents or frequent or
routine contact with residents of an alcoholism or drug abuse recovery or treatment facility to be subject to a criminal record review prior to that person’s involvement in the provision of services, except this requirement would not apply to residents. The bill would require the department to conduct this review, and allow it to approve or deny a person’s involvement in the provision of services based on the results of that review. The bill would prohibit the department from denying that involvement due to a drug-related conviction.
