INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Beall

                        FEBRUARY 18, 2010

   An act to amend Section 12304.2 of the Welfare and Institutions

	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2274, as introduced, 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.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
