 CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE—
 2019–2020 REGULAR SESSION

 Assembly Bill

No. 438

Introduced by Assembly Member Frazier

February 11, 2019

 An act to amend repeal Section 4692 of the Welfare and Institutions Code, relating to developmental services. 

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 438, as amended, Frazier.
 Regional center services: holidays.

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 prohibits a regional center from compensating designated programs and transportation vendor services for providing any service to a consumer on 11 specified holidays, including, including July 4, Thanksgiving Day, and the 4 business days between December 25 and January 1.

This bill would delete the 4 business days between December 25 and January 1 from the compensation prohibition described above. The bill would also make various technical, nonsubstantive changes.
 repeal that prohibition, thereby allowing a regional center to compensate those designated programs and transportation vendor services for providing services on any of those 11 holidays.
