CA AB1884

Requires licensed hospices to be inspected by a state department representative every 3 years, rather than making inspections optional at the department's discretion.

Mandates that inspection results be made available to the public to the extent consistent with federal and state privacy laws.

Requires recertification of a patient's terminal illness to be conducted by at least one independent physician working in conjunction with the hospice medical director or physician member of the interdisciplinary group, to the extent permitted by federal law.

Specifies that no state reimbursement is required for local agencies or school districts because any costs result from the creation of new crime-related requirements under Section 17556 of the Government Code.
