This enabling legislation expands the mandate provided by AB 1810 (Chapter 34, Statutes of 2018), which included a one-time appropriation for HCAI to develop and administer the program and required HCAI to convene a Review Committee of stakeholders and experts to advise the department on the establishment, implementation, sustainability, and ongoing administration of the HPD Program. The Review Committee’s recommendations were included in a report submitted to the California Legislature on March 9, 2020.
