WHEREAS, Assembly Bill 344(Cfiapter 1626) f~om ~the 1971
Session provided licensing requirements for the reception and care of
persons age 16 through 64,
WHEREAS, these provisi.ons overlap the already existing pro-
visions regarding the Iicensing of boarding homes for children up to
the age of 18, or 21 if sti~.~. attending school,
WHEI2EAS, a cansequence of AB 344 could be the placement of
young persons with the older persons, age 18 thxough 64,
WHER~S, the older graup, 18 through 64, usually includes tlie
mentally ill,
WfiEREAS, the placement of young people with the mentally i11
seems wholly without reason and could be very injurioe~s to the child
involved,
WHEREAS, the only alternative to such placement would be
contrived agreements with the facility to bE licensed,and
WHEREAS, both children and adults would bene~it from separation
at age 18. •
