California Welfare and Institutions Code Statutory History
Welfare and Institutions Code: The range of issues addressed in this Code includes services relating to welfare, dependent children, mental health, handicapped, elderly, delinquency, foster care, Medi-Cal, food stamps, rehabilitation, and long-term care, just to name a few. While codified in 1937, its historical derivation can be traced to the 1800s. The Code has been substantively and extensively amended since 1937. For example, the Elder Abuse and Dependent Adult Civil Protection Act is one of the areas in the Code which, since 1982, has seen consistent and substantive amendments following the lead of constituents seeking to improve this area of the law.
