AB 1402 amended the Welfare and Institutions Code to add section 4704.6 which states, “Each regional center and each vendor that contracts with a regional center to provide services to consumers shall conspicuously post on its Internet Web site, if any, a link to the department’s Internet Web site page that provides a description of the appeals procedure set forth in this chapter and a department telephone number available for answering consumer and applicant appeals procedure questions.”

All service providers of the Westside Regional Center are expected to comply with this regulation as a condition of vendorization.
