§ 30300. General Description.

Latest version.

The Maternity Home Care Program mandated by the Pregnancy Freedom of Choice Act (PFCA) (Chapter 1190, Statutes 1977) and amended by Assembly Bill (AB) 3805 (Chapter 1636, Statutes of 1990), is a state funded program which provides an effective freedom of choice in making family planning decisions to unmarried pregnant minors. It provides for residential care, maternity related services, and postnatal maternal and infant care for a limited period following termination of pregnancy. The minor's parents are not financially responsible for the care and services she receives, nor is parental consent necessary. Nonprofit maternity homes, licensed under Division 6 of Title 22, CCR, as group homes, contract with the Department of Social Services to provide the care and services under this program.
