IHSS Advisory Committee

History

In 1999 Assembly Bill 1682 was passed. Under this legislation an Employer of Record for IHSS providers was required by January 2003, as well as the establishment of an IHSS Advisory Committee to supply recommendations to the Board of Supervisors for implementation of the Employer of Record requirement.

On May 16, 2000, the Board of Supervisors for the County of San Diego voted to create an IHSS Advisory Committee. After months of hard work, the Committee recommended establishing a Public Authority here in San Diego County. The Board of Supervisors on June 12, 2001, created the Public Authority.
