Summary

Starting Jan. 1, 2027, any short‑term residential therapeutic program in California must have its license renewed each year if it receives five or more type A (or A/B) citations in the prior 12 months, or if it operates in a county with fewer than 75,000 residents that lacks a high school or acute‑care hospital. Programs that avoid further violations after a review can be exempt from future annual renewals. The measure aims to increase oversight of facilities caring for vulnerable children.
