Editorial: State Should Repeal Fingerprinting Rules for IHSS

A Los Angeles Times editorial states that it was "a smart move" for the California Senate to pass a bill (SB 930), by Sen. Noreen Evans (D-Santa Rosa), that would repeal fingerprinting requirements and other anti-fraud measures for the In-Home Supportive Services program. The editorial continues that the Assembly "would be wise to pass the bill and send it to Gov. Jerry Brown (D) for his signature, so that lawmakers and the administration can focus on actually saving money while providing Californians with needed services."
