1569.331
. The Legislature hereby finds and declares that in order
to protect the health and safety of elders in care at residential
care facilities for the elderly, appropriate oversight and regulation
of residential care facilities for the elderly requires regular,
periodic inspections of these facilities in addition to
investigations in response to complaints. It is the intent of the
Legislature to increase the frequency of unannounced inspections
pursuant to Section 1569.33. In addition to the information that the
State Department of Social Services is required to report during the
2015-16 legislative budget subcommittee hearings pursuant to Section
85 of Chapter 29 of the Statutes of 2014, the department shall also
at that time report the projected costs of conducting annual
inspections of residential care facilities for the elderly beginning
January 1, 2018.
