California AB1069 requires county welfare directors to coordinate with local agencies to ensure access for older adults and persons with disabilities.

California AB1069, passed in 2025, mandates that during disaster planning and response, a representative of the county welfare director must coordinate with the lead local agency to create a memorandum of understanding with area agencies on aging, independent living centers, or Aging and Disability Resource Connection programs. This ensures these programs can access emergency shelters to provide continuous services and necessary support to older adults and persons with disabilities.
