WHEREAS, the State of California chaptered AB 3988 and SB 338 in 1984 which
require medical and non-medical professionals to report all suspected cases of
Elder/Dependent Adult abuse to the county Department of Social Services; and
WHEREAS, the resultant increase in reported cases of Elder/Dependent Adult abuse

increases for the County Services Block Grant (CSBG) Social Services Programs,
including Adult Protective Services, for the past several years; and

needed 24-hour emergency response program within Adult Protective Services which
will allow the County to provide temporary shelter; emergency transportation,
food and clothing; short-term case management; in-home respite; counseling;
and referral to community resources.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors
strongly endorse and support SB 253 (Rosenthal ) ; and

the Legislative Advocate to provide priority status to the passage of this
