 Assembly Bill

No. 1925

Introduced by Assembly Member Jeff Gonzalez Members Jeff Gonzalez and Alanis

February 12, 2026

 An act to amend Section 4501 of the Welfare and Institutions Code, relating to developmental services. add and repeal Chapter 9 (commencing with Section 8280) of Division 8 of the Welfare and Institutions Code, relating to disabilities.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 1925, as amended, Jeff Gonzalez.
 Developmental services. State permanent disability certification program: feasibility study.

Existing law establishes various programs for the delivery of services or benefits to individuals with disabilities, including, among others, the State Supplementary Program for the Aged, Blind, and Disabled, regional center services and supports under the Lanterman Developmental Disabilities Services Act, the In-Home Supportive Services Program, and certain benefits within the Medi-Cal program.

This bill would require the California Health and Human Services Agency, upon appropriation and in consultation with relevant state departments within the agency, to complete a feasibility study that includes a comprehensive analysis of the challenges and
 opportunities related to establishing a state permanent disability certification program. Under the bill, the program would be defined as a certification issued by a state department confirming that an individual has a permanent disability for the purpose of obtaining services. The bill would require the agency to reasonably attempt to consult with local stakeholders, as specified.

The bill would require that the analysis within the study address, among other things, technological limitations and compatibility of a permanent disability certification for use within existing federal, state, and local programs. The bill would require the agency, by July 1, 2028, to submit a report of the completed study to the Legislature and to post the report on the agency’s internet website.

The bill would repeal these provisions on
 January 1, 2032.

Existing law, the Lanterman Developmental Disabilities Services Act, requires the State Department of Developmental Services to contract with regional centers to provide services and supports to individuals with developmental disabilities and their families. Existing law makes related findings and declarations, including that the State of California accepts a responsibility for persons with developmental disabilities and that services and supports should be available to enable persons with developmental disabilities to approximate the pattern of everyday living available to people without disabilities of the same age.

This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to those provisions.

Bill Text

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

SECTION 1.

 The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:

(a) Many disabilities are permanent in nature and are not subject to material change, yet Californians with permanent disabilities are repeatedly required to reverify the same condition across multiple government programs.

(b) California lacks a coordinated disability verification framework across state, county, local, and utility programs, resulting in duplicative documentation requirements, inconsistent standards, and
 administrative inefficiencies.

(c) Repeated disability verification imposes unnecessary costs on state and local agencies, increases administrative burdens on medical providers, and diverts public resources away from direct service delivery.

(d) Individuals with permanent disabilities frequently experience avoidable interruptions in health care, housing, in-home services, transportation, and other essential supports due to missed or delayed recertification, despite no change in eligibility.

(e) A comprehensive feasibility study is necessary to determine the challeng
