Licensed adult residential facilities and residential care facilities for the elderly: data collection: residents with a serious mental disorder.The California Community Care Facilities Act provides for the licensure and regulation of community care facilities by the State Department of Social Services, including various adult residential facilities, as described. The act includes legislative findings and declarations that there is an urgent need to establish a coordinated and comprehensive statewide service of quality community care for the mentally ill, the developmentally and physically disabled, and children and adults who require care or services. A person who violates the California Community Care Facilities Act is guilty of a misdemeanor. Existing law, the California Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly Act, provides for the licensure and regulation of residential care facilities for the elderly, as defined, by the department and expresses the intent of the Legislature to require that those facilities be licensed as a separate category within the existing licensing structure of the department.This bill would require the department to send a list collect information and send a report to each countys department of mental health or behavioral health, beginning January 1, 2021, and quarterly May 1, 2021, and annually thereafter, of all licensed adult residential facilities and residential care facilities for the elderly, as described, including all of those facilities in the county that meet specified criteria and serve that accept a specified federal rate and accept residents with a serious mental disorder, as defined, and the number of licensed beds at each facility. The bill would require the department, beginning May 1, 2021, 2021, and quarterly thereafter, to publicly report the list send to those county departments a report of licensed adult residential facilities and residential care facilities for the elderly that closed permanently in the prior quarter, as specified. The bill would require the department to notify the county mental or behavioral health department within 3 business days upon receiving notice that a licensed adult residential facility or residential care facility for the elderly intends to close permanently. The bill would also require, beginning no later than January 1, 2022, the department to report annually, and, no later than January 1, 2023, to post on the departments internet website in a searchable format, data from licensed adult residential facilities and residential care facilities for the elderly regarding, among other things, the total number of residents that had a serious mental disorder, the number of residents were homeless at any time in the 12 months prior to admission, and the destination for all residents with a serious mental disorder who exited during the previous 12 months, if known. The bill would authorize the department to contract with a third party that specializes in creating a searchable database for these purposes.The bill would also revise the California Community Care Facilities Act by requiring an applicant or licensee of an adult community care facility to maintain an email address of record with the department and to provide written notification to the department of the email address and of any change to the email address within 10 business days of the change. Because a person who violates the California Community Care Facilities Act is guilty of a misdemeanor, the bill would create new crimes, thereby imposing a state-mandated local program.The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.Digest Key Vote: MAJORITY  Appropriation: NO  Fiscal Committee: YES  Local Program: NOYES Bill TextThe people of the State of California do enact as follows:SECTION 1.
