	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1392, as amended, Pavley. Developmental services.
   Existing law establishes several developmental centers within the
jurisdiction of the State Department of Developmental Services.
   This bill would permit the real property within the grounds of a
developmental center, as specified, that is determined to no longer
meet the needs of the state for directly serving persons with
developmental disabilities to be made available for lease and be
leased, to generate revenue for deposit into the Californians with
Developmental Disabilities Fund, which the bill would create. The
bill would require moneys in this fund to be made available, upon
appropriation by the Legislature, to the department for purposes of
serving persons with developmental disabilities.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  The Legislature hereby finds and declares all of the
following:
   (a) The Lanterman Developmental Disabilities Services Act states
that the State of California accepts a responsibility for persons
with developmental disabilities and an obligation to them that it
must discharge.
   (b) Some persons with developmental disabilities live in one of
four state-owned and state-operated developmental centers or
participate in the community-based residential program.
   (c) As demonstrated by developmental centers that the state has
previously closed, including the Stockton, Camarillo, and Agnews
Developmental Centers, upon closure the residents still require
ongoing supports and services, including residential services, as
they transition to community-based housing, programs, and service.
   (d) The obligation by the State Department of Developmental
Services to meet the housing and other needs of these persons under
the Lanterman Developmental Disabilities Services Act necessitates
thoughtful consideration, including, but not limited to, the use of a
previously closed developmental center property in any manner
possible for the benefit of the population served.
  SEC. 2.  Section 11011.22 is added to the Government Code, to read:

   11011.22.  (a) Notwithstanding Section 11011, if the real property
within the grounds of Agnews State Hospital, Camarillo State
Hospital, Fairview State Hospital, Lanterman State Hospital,
Porterville State Hospital, Sonoma State Hospital, or Stockton State
Hospital is determined to no longer meet the needs of the state for
directly serving persons with developmental disabilities, the real
property, subject to any lease entered into pursuant to a statute
enacted prior to  the effective date of this section
  January 1, 2013,  may be made available for lease
and be leased in order to generate revenue for deposit into the
Californians with Developmental Disabilities Fund.
   (b) The Californians with Developmental Disabilities Fund is
hereby created in the State Treasury. Moneys in the fund shall, upon
appropriation by the Legislature, be made available to the State
Department of Developmental Services for purposes of serving persons
with developmental disabilities, subject to Section 4688.6 of the
Welfare and Institutions Code. 
   (c) This section does not modify the requirement that, the
department submit a closure plan to the Legislature for approval in
accordance with Section 4474.1 of the Welfare and Institutions Code,
prior to the closure of a developmental center.
