The Assembly Committee on Human Services did not advance SB 1109 on June 30 after the motion failed for lack of a second, leaving the measure stalled in committee.
A committee summary says the bill would have created an added annual licensing-review trigger for short-term residential therapeutic programs with repeated serious violations. The same summary says the chair argued existing enforcement tools were enough and that the bill should be held.
SB 1109 was one of several bills heard that day on foster care, youth safety and related social services issues. Other measures on the agenda advanced, according to the committee summary, but SB 1109 did not move forward.
The hearing summary is available through the Assembly’s video record of the June 30 Human Services Committee meeting.
