An act to amend Section 12304.2 of the Welfare and Institutions

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 2274, Beall. In-Home Supportive Services program.
Existing law provides for the county-administered In-Home
Supportive Services (IHSS) program, under which qualified aged,
blind, and disabled persons are provided with services in order to
permit them to remain in their own homes and avoid
institutionalization. Existing law allows a recipient who receives
services through either a contract or a managed care provider,
subject to program requirements, to select any qualified person, as
defined, to provide care.
This bill would also allow a person who receives services as part
of an entity authorized by a specified waiver under the federal
Social Security Act to select any qualified person to provide care.
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Section 12304.2 of the Welfare and Institutions Code is
amended to read:
12304.2. (a) A recipient who receives services under this article
through a contract, a managed care provider, or an entity authorized
by a waiver under Section 1115 of the federal Social Security Act
(42 U.S.C. Sec. 1315) may, subject to program requirements, select
any qualified person to provide care under this article.
(b) For purposes of this section, "qualified person" means an
employee of the contract provider, managed care provider, or entity
authorized by the federal waiver, through which the recipient may
receive services under this article, who is available and eligible to
provide the services.
