Cal. Health & Safety Code § 125200 — Long-Term Care for Degenerative Genetic Disease is in force in the current edition of the Code, and nothing recorded condemns it.

The Legislature finds and declares that there are many persons in California who are victims of chronic and degenerative genetic conditions, who experience a wide range of degenerating conditions including mental and physical deterioration. For some of these conditions, there is no known prior detection or subsequent treatment.

The Legislature further finds and declares that appropriate supportive care services, both in and out of the home, are very often unavailable, due to the lack of resource identification and referral, and the lack of case management services.
