Bill Summary · AB 1335

Legislative bill overview

AB 1335 proposed changes to California's habilitation services, which are support programs designed to help individuals with developmental disabilities acquire or maintain life skills. The bill was referred to the Human Services Committee in March 2025 but failed to advance, with the committee refusing reconsideration in May 2025.

Why is this important

Habilitation services are critical for people with developmental disabilities, affecting their independence, employment prospects, and quality of life. Changes to these programs impact both service recipients and the state budget, as California funds these services through Medicaid (Medi-Cal) and other programs.

Potential points of contention

  • Scope of services covered: Disagreement likely exists over which specific habilitation services should be included or expanded, affecting both program costs and beneficiary access
  • Funding mechanisms: Questions about how expanded or modified services would be funded, whether through increased state spending, federal matching requirements, or reallocation of existing resources
  • Implementation standards: Debate over qualification requirements for service providers, service delivery models, and accountability measures to ensure quality care
