AB 2397 California Assembly · 2011-2012 Regular Session

Mental health: state hospitals: staff-to-patient ratios.

Summary
Existing law provides for state hospitals for the care, treatment, and education of mentally disordered persons. These hospitals are under the jurisdiction of the State Department of State Hospitals, which is authorized by existing law to adopt regulations regarding the conduct and management of these facilities. This bill would require the department to reimburse an independent entity to conduct a review and analysis of staffing ratios to determine the appropriate levels for effective patient treatment, and would require a report with findings to be submitted to the Legislature by August 1, 2013. This bill would repeal these provisions on January 1, 2015.
