LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


SB 461, as introduced, Wright. Residential care facilities: fingerprinting: cost.
Existing law, the California Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly Act, provides for the licensure and regulation of residential care facilities for the elderly by the State Department of Social Services.
Existing law requires various individuals involved in providing services to the elderly in residential care facilities to submit fingerprints to the department and, for purposes of searching the records of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, to the Department of Justice. Existing law requires the Department of Justice, within 14 days of the receipt of the fingerprints, to notify the department of the criminal record information regarding the individual or the lack thereof, and permits the Department of Justice to charge a fee sufficient to cover its cost in providing services to the department in connection with the criminal record information.
This bill would specify that the department may charge a fee sufficient to cover its reasonable cost in providing the above services.
Vote: MAJORITY   Appropriation: NO   Fiscal Committee: YES   Local Program: NO  

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