Summary

The bill requires the California Department of Public Health to start investigations of alleged unlicensed recovery centers within 10 days and finish them within 60 days, adds civil penalties and a five‑year licensure ban for violators, and forces programs to report money transfers to detect kickbacks. It also extends the time prosecutors have to object to wrongful‑conviction compensation claims and lets them rely on the trial record alone. The measure was vetoed by the governor and is awaiting Senate action on that veto.
