Bill > AB2470

This bill makes technical, nonsubstantive changes to the existing law that outlines the purpose of public social services in California. The Welfare and Institutions Code, Section 10000, currently states that the purpose of these services is to provide protection, care, and assistance to people in need, and to promote the welfare and happiness of all Californians by offering aid and services to those who are needy and distressed. The bill's amendments are minor wording adjustments, such as changing "in need thereof" to "of them" and "its" to "the people of the state who are," and clarifying "legislative intent" to "intent of the Legislature," without altering the fundamental meaning or scope of the law. These changes are intended to ensure the law is phrased clearly and accurately, reflecting the state's commitment to administering aid and services promptly, humanely, and without discrimination, while encouraging self-respect and self-reliance among recipients.
