AB 2207: State boards and commissions: representatives of older adults.

Existing law establishes the California Commission on Aging composed of 25 persons, as specified, and requires the commission to hire an executive director. Existing law also establishes the California Department of Aging and provides for a director of that department. Existing law establishes various state boards and commissions to address public health concerns throughout the state and generally requires that individuals appointed to these state entities be broadly reflective of the general public.

This bill would expand the membership of the Alzheimers Disease and Related Disorders Advisory Committee, the California Workforce Development Board, and the California Behavioral Health Planning Council to include the Executive Director of the California Commission on Aging, or other persons that serve or advocate for older adults, as specified.

This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 1568.17 of the Health and Safety Code proposed by AB 2680 to be operative only if this bill and AB 2680 are enacted and this bill is enacted last.
