LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


AB 20, Koretz. Senior centers.
Existing law provides for the establishment of senior centers.
This bill would require the California Department of Aging to conduct a statewide survey and needs analysis to determine the geographic and structural needs for senior centers and to aid in the establishment of priorities for funding. This bill would require the study to be completed by December 31, 2002.
This bill would appropriate $145,000 from the General Fund to the California Department of Aging for the purpose of conducting the statewide survey.
Appropriation: YES  

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


SECTION 1.

 Article 3 (commencing with Section 9150) is added to Chapter 2 of Division 8.5 of the Welfare and Institutions Code, to read:
Article  3. Senior Center Survey

9150.
 By December 31, 2002, the department shall conduct a statewide survey and needs analysis to determine the geographic, fiscal, and structural needs for senior centers and to aid in the establishment of priorities for funding. The survey and needs analysis shall consider factors including the number of seniors in different regions of the state, the projected growth in the senior population in different regions of the state, the access of seniors to senior centers in different regions of the state, the access of seniors to culturally competent providers and services appropriate for the increasingly ethnically diverse aging population, the potential benefits of, and interest in, intergenerational use of senior centers so different age groups can interact, participate in programs, and mutually benefit, the age and physical condition of existing senior centers in different regions of the state, the estimated fiscal investment necessary to meet the need for senior centers in the state, and any other factors that the department deems appropriate.

SEC. 2.

 The sum of one hundred forty-five thousand dollars ($145,000) is hereby appropriated from the General Fund to the California Department of Aging for purposes of conducting the statewide survey and needs analysis required by Section 9150 of the Welfare and Institutions Code.
