CILA-RECIPIENT FUND PROTECTION

Amends the Community-Integrated Living Arrangements Licensure and Certification Act. Provides that a service provider must maintain a written record of all financial transactions, keep the recipient's funds in an account that is separate from the service provider's, and deposit any funds received in excess of $100 in an interest-bearing account. Requires a service provider to purchase and maintain a surety bond that is greater than or equal to the sum of all of the recipients personal funds that are deposited with the service provider. Provides that a service provider shall withdraw a recipient's funds only (1) to return the funds upon the request of the recipient or the recipient's guardian, (2) to pay the recipient his or her allowance, or (3) to make any other payment authorized by the recipient or any other person entitled to authorize that payment. Requires a service provider to notify the Office of the State Guardian of the Guardianship and Advocacy Commission if an adult recipient is unable to manage his or her funds and does not have a guardian. Makes other changes. Effective immediately.
