Assembly Subcommittee Votes Against Fingerprinting
An Assembly Budget Committee's subcommittee on Wednesday voted against a plan to spend $8.2 million this year to photograph and fingerprint beneficiaries of the In-Home Supportive Services program as an anti-fraud measure. A Senate Budget Committee subpanel also has voted against the plan, which aimed to prevent recipients from enrolling in more than one county or using a different name to enroll in multiple programs.
