Governor signs bill on senior care facilities

SACRAMENTO — Gov. Jerry Brown on Oct. 19 signed Assemblymember Al Muratsuchi’s Assembly Bill 651, which will strengthen the state attorney general’s oversight over the sale of nonprofit health care facilities, in order to protect and promote access to health care, particularly in immigrant communities.

AB 651 authorizes the attorney general to enforce any conditions imposed as part of the consent, with authority to seek specific performance, injunctive relief, and other equitable remedies and to recover attorney’s fees and costs.
