It is not the intent of this chapter to displace educational and related services personnel already employed by the state hospitals under the administration of the State Department of Developmental Services or the State Department of State Hospitals, or to reduce their salaries or other employee benefits.
The State Department of Developmental Services and the State Department of State Hospitals shall complete an annual review of the impact that implementation of this act will have in reducing the need for positions in state hospitals due to time spent by residents in community education programs and shall submit a report on its findings to the Department of Finance for approval.
(Amended by Stats. 2012, Ch. 440, Sec. 5. (AB 1488) Effective September 22, 2012.)
