CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE— 2019–2020 REGULAR SESSION

Assembly Bill

No. 2229

Introduced by Assembly Member Flora

February 13, 2020

An act to amend Section 11999.2 of the Health and Safety Code, relating to drugs and alcohol.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 2229, as introduced, Flora. Drug- or alcohol-related programs: “no unlawful use” requirement.

Existing law prohibits state funds from being encumbered by a state agency for allocation to an entity, whether public or private, for a drug- or alcohol-related program, unless the drug- or alcohol-related program contains a component that clearly explains, in written materials, that there shall be no unlawful use of drugs or alcohol. Existing law prohibits these programs from including a message on the responsible use, if the use is unlawful, of drugs or alcohol.

This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to those provisions.

Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: NO Local Program: NO

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

SECTION 1.

Section 11999.2 of the Health and Safety Code is amended to read:
