Summary

AB 2278 launches a five‑year pilot in Contra Costa County that tests software to transcribe and summarize in‑home eligibility interviews for the In‑Home Supportive Services (IHSS) program. It also sets financial penalties for counties that fail to complete timely case reassessments required under the federal Community First Choice Option (CFCO) program, shifting the cost of lost federal funds to the county. The bill requires annual public reporting and a statewide report on penalty payments.
