This bill would require IHSS timesheets, which are signed by the recipient and the provider of services, to contain a legal certification statement. A person who knowingly provides false information resulting in a conviction of fraud would be subject to a civil penalty, with a fine of between $500 and $1,000.

Status: This bill was introduced in the Senate on February 11th and originally required provider and consumer signatures under threat of perjury. It was amended, passed by the Senate on May 28th, and is currently being reviewed by the Assembly Appropriations Committee.
