AB 3098 was recently signed by Governor Brown, effective January 1st, 2019. This bill requires all RCFEs to have additional elements within the emergency and disaster plan. In addition, this bill requires Community Care Licensing to confirm, during annual visits, that the emergency and disaster plan is on file at the facility, with required content. Violation of these provisions would be a crime.
