INTRODUCED BY   Senator Maldonado

                        FEBRUARY 11, 2009

   An act to add Section 12301.22 to the Welfare and Institutions
Code, relating to public social services.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 142, as amended, Maldonado. In-home supportive services:
provider timesheets.
   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 permits services to be provided
under the IHSS program either through the employment of individual
providers, a contract between the county and an entity for the
provision of services, the creation by the county of a public
authority, or a contract between the county and a nonprofit
consortium.
   Under existing law, the State Department of Social Services is
required, in consultation and coordination with county welfare
departments, to establish and implement statewide hourly task
guidelines and instructions to provide counties with a standard tool
for consistently and accurately assessing service needs and
authorizing service hours to meet those needs.
   This bill would require the department, on or before December 31,
2011, to develop procedures to ensure that  a  
an  IHSS provider receives a list specifying the approved duties
to be performed for each recipient under the provider's care 
and a complete list of supportive service tasks available under the
IHSS program  .
   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.  Section 12301.22 is added to the Welfare and
Institutions Code, to read:
   12301.22.  On or before December 31, 2011, the department, in
consultation with county welfare departments and other stakeholders,
shall develop a process to ensure that a provider of services under
this article receives a list specifying the approved duties to be
performed for each recipient under the provider's care  and a
complete list of supportive service tasks available under the IHSS
program  .
