Sections 1 and 21 of Stats.2001, c. 653 (A.B.1695), provide:
"It is the intent of the Legislature to continue to promote the successful implementation of the statutory preference for foster care placement with relative caregivers as set forth in Section 7950 of the Family Code. Placement of a child with a relative caregiver most closely meets the statutory requirement of Section 16000 of the Welfare and Institutions Code that a child live in the least restrictive and most familylike setting possible. California's clear mandate for an exhaustive search for available relatives and primary consideration of these relatives for placement is in accord with federal Title IV-E requirements that the 'State shall consider giving preference to an adult relative over a nonrelated caregiver when determining placement for a child.'
"The intent of the Legislature is to clarify that California's relative caregiver approval process employs the same standards used to license foster care homes in accordance with the federal Adoption and Safe Families Act of 1997, (P.L. 105-89), and, therefore, California's compliance entitles it to continuous Title IV-E foster care maintenance and administration payments."
"Notwithstanding the provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act, Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section 11340) of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code, on and before June 30, 2002, the State Department of Social Services may implement the applicable provisions of this act through all county letters or similar instructions from the director.
"The director shall adopt regulations, as otherwise necessary, to implement the applicable provisions of this act no later than July 1, 2002. Emergency regulations to implement the applicable provisions of this act may be adopted by the director in accordance with the Administrative Procedures Act."
The Assembly Daily Journal for the 2001-02 Regular Session, page 5322, contained the following letter dated April 3, 2002, from Assembly Member Dion Louise Aroner regarding the intent of Stats.2001, c. 653 (A.B. 1695):
"Dear Speaker Wesson: This letter is being sent for publication in the journal.
"Last year, the Legislature passed and the Governor signed AB 1695 (Chapter 653, Statutes of 2001) as an urgency measure. AB 1695 primarily related to the placement of children in foster care with relative caregivers. However, as part of that legislation, Welfare and Institutions Code (WIC) section 361.5(b)(10) was amended in response to the State Supreme Court's ruling in Renee J. v. Superior Court (2001) 26 Cal.4th 735. The Supreme Court's interpretation of this section in the Renee J. case did not reflect the Legislature's meaning in crafting the statute. Therefore, our purpose in rewriting WIC section 361.5(b)(10) was to make clear the Legislature's original intent in establishing this section of law, not to establish a new meaning.
"Sincerely,
"Dion Louise Aroner, Assembly Member Fourteenth Assembly District"
The Assembly Daily Journal for the 2003-2004 Regular Session, page 8084, contained the following letter dated August 27, 2004, from Assembly Members Sally J. Lieber and Darrell Steinberg, regarding the intent of Stats.2004, c. 831 (A.B.2100):
"The Honorable E. Dotson Wilson
"Chief Clerk of the Assembly
"Assembly Chamber
"Dear Mr. Wilson,
"We request that this letter be printed in the Assembly Journal with regard to Assembly Bill 2100 (Steinberg) and the clients of Agnews Developmental Center.
"We believe that the provisions of AB 2100 will allow for innovative housing options for qualified Agnews clients with developmental disabilities.
"According to the Department of Developmental Services (DDS) estimates, no more that 50 people from Agnews would qualify for these new housing options. However, those that do qualify would not be required live in the family teaching homes. The provisions of AB 2100 are voluntary for qualified Agnews clients.
"The DDS assures us that appropriate monitoring of the family teaching homes will be provided, and that abuse or misconduct will not be tolerated. We believe that the oversight provided by DDS will, in many ways, exceed that provided in licensed homes. To ensure client safety, we call on DDS to collect and analyze data pertaining to any complaints, accidents, or injuries that occur in family teaching homes and to make this information available to the Legislature and the public.
"The safety and well-being of the Agnews residents is our highest priority. Given these facts and assurances, we are confident that AB 2100 is the proper course and will improve the quality of life to Agnews residents. To achieve these aims it will be necessary for the DDS to work closely with the families of Agnews residents to ensure further developments affecting their loved ones will have the benefit of their participation.
"Sincerely,
"SALLY J. LIEBER

Governor Schwarzenegger issued the following signing message regarding Stats.2004, c. 831 (A.B.2100):
"To the Members of the California State Assembly:
"I am signing Assembly Bill 2100, legislation that will provide a new model of support for persons with severe developmental disabilities who wish to live in California's communities. This legislation builds upon the innovative services created by the Lanterman Developmental Disabilities Services Act and the 1999 United States Supreme Court's Olmstead decision, which calls for the support and integration of persons with disabilities in their homes and communities rather than institutions.
"Consistent with the Olmstead decision, this legislation will provide another alternative that will better enable individuals to live in more integrated settings by expanding the range and availability of appropriate community-based placements. AB 2100 allows for the development of housing dedicated to persons with developmental disabilities and authorizes three San Francisco Bay Area regional centers to provide lease payments to establish a permanent stock of stable housing. This pilot program will establish a family teaching model that will serve up to three persons with developmental disabilities in family settings.
"California has systematically and continually developed integrated community-based services and supports for persons with developmental disabilities. It is time to take the next step and implement a new model capable of providing services to individuals whose only other previous option had been a state run developmental center. Therefore, it is with great enthusiasm that I am signing AB 2100.
"Sincerely,
"Arnold Schwarzenegger"
