The Center for Investigative Reporting (the Center) is a news organization
investigating mistreatment of mentally ill and developmentally disabled
individuals in state-owned long-term health care facilities. It filed a Public
Records Act request for copies of all the citations issued by the Department of
Public Health (DPH) — the agency charged with investigating, licensing, and
disciplining long-term health care facilities — to the facilities the Center was
investigating.
The Long-Term Care, Health, Safety, and Security Act of 1973 (the Long-
Term Care Act) lays out in detail the information that must be included in citations
issued by DPH and expressly states that the citations are public records, but that
1
the names of the affected patients or residents must be redacted from the publicly
available version of the citation. (See Health & Saf. Code, §§ 1423, 1424, 1429,
1439.) Yet DPH disclosed heavily redacted copies of the citations it had issued to
the facilities in question, citing its obligation under another statute not to release
confidential information obtained ―in the course of providing services‖ to mentally
ill and developmentally disabled individuals. (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 5328; all
subsequent statutory references are to the Welfare & Institutions Code unless
otherwise indicated.)
The trial court determined that the Long-Term Care Act was the more
specific and later-enacted statute and thus trumped section 5328. DPH sought writ
relief, and the Court of Appeal issued a writ directing the trial court to vacate its
judgment. In so doing, the Court of Appeal agreed with DPH, but only in part. It
concluded that because both statutes are remedial statutes designed to protect the
same vulnerable population, the two statutory schemes could be harmonized. The
Court of Appeal did so by ordering DPH to disclose such information as the Court
of Appeal deemed consistent with the common purpose of both statutes while
permitting DPH to redact such information as the Court of Appeal deemed
inconsistent with that common purpose.
We reverse and remand with instructions for the Court of Appeal to deny
the petition. The trial court was correct: The Long-Term Care Act‘s provisions
are the later-enacted provisions, and they announce with detail and specificity the
information that must be included in DPH citations in the public record. Because
it is both the more specific and the later-enacted statute, the Long-Term Care Act
is properly construed as a limited exception to section 5328‘s general rule of
patient and resident confidentiality. Accordingly, DPH citations issued under the
Long-Term Care Act are public records and must be disclosed to the Center
subject only to the specific redactions mandated by the Long-Term Care Act.

I.
The Center is a nonprofit news organization involved in investigating and
reporting on patient abuse in state-owned long-term care facilities operated by the
Department of Developmental Services for the benefit of mentally ill and
developmentally disabled individuals. The Center is engaged in ―ongoing
investigation into cases of patient abuse, injury and death at the State‘s largest
developmental centers, the State‘s handling of the investigations and specifically
that of the internal police force, called the Office of Protective Services, charged
with protecting this vulnerable population.‖
In May of 2011, while investigating these matters, a staff reporter
employed by the Center filed a written request, pursuant to the Public Records Act
(Gov. Code, § 6250 et seq.), requesting copies of all citations issued by DPH since
2002 to the seven largest state-owned and state-operated treatment facilities. DPH
issues such citations pursuant to a detailed statutory scheme set out in the Long-
Term Care Act.
DPH‘s response was twofold. First, it informed the Center that DPH was
required to maintain citations for only four years. Second, DPH told the Center
that any recent responsive records would be ―examined and redacted before
release in accordance with Welfare and Institutions Code section 5328,‖ which
governs patient confidentiality at facilities providing designated services to
developmentally disabled and mentally ill patients and residents. As explained in
more detail below, section 5328 is part of the Lanterman-Petris-Short Act; a
parallel provision is included in the Lanterman Developmental Disabilities
Services Act. (See § 4514.) Like the parties and the Court of Appeal, we refer to
both acts collectively as the Lanterman Act. When we refer to section 5328, the
reference applies equally to section 4514.
3
A month later, DPH produced 55 citations from the years 2007 through
2011. In DPH‘s own words, the records were ―aggressively‖ redacted. In fact, the
redacted citations contained scant information about the violations giving rise to
each citation. A representative example is citation number 15-1040-0003490-S.
The citation is classified as an ―AA‖ citation, meaning that the patient died as a
direct and proximate result of the facility‘s offense. (Health & Saf. Code, § 1424,
subd. (c).) The citation lists two general regulations that were violated: California
Code of Regulations, title 22, section 76315, subdivision (a)(4)(B), which requires
each patient or resident to have an individual program plan, and California Code
of Regulations, title 22, section 76525, subdivision (a)(20), which assures patients
and residents the right ―[t]o be free from harm, including unnecessary physical
restraint or isolation, excessive medication, abuse or neglect.‖ But the substance
of the violation is then described as follows: ―The facility failed to keep Client 1
free from harm by . . . .‖ The remainder of the citation, comprising two and a half
pages of text, is completely redacted.
An unredacted copy of one citation the Center obtained from a confidential
source shows the kind of information that DPH redacted. Citation number 15-
0788-0008629-F describes an incident in which one-third of the patients in one
unit at the Sonoma Developmental Center sustained injuries consistent with being
unnecessarily tasered. The citation describes the nature of the injuries sustained
by some of the patients and the fact that the patients had limited or no ability to
communicate verbally. By contrast, the redacted copy of the report says nothing
more than that a violation of Code of Federal Regulations, title 42, part 483.420,
subdivision (a)(5) — ―Protection of clients‘ rights‖ — occurred.
The Center‘s legal counsel wrote a letter to DPH arguing that the redactions
were not legally justified. DPH responded with an email maintaining that the
redactions were required by Welfare and Institutions Code sections 4514 and
4
5328.15. The Center responded by filing a petition for writ of mandate in the
superior court seeking an order that DPH disclose the redacted material pursuant
to the Public Records Act.
The trial court said it was ―called upon in this case to resolve an apparent
conflict between the Lanterman Act‘s prohibition against disclosure of records
obtained in the course of providing mental health or developmental services, and
the Long-Term Care Act‘s requirement that citations issued to long-term health
care facilities be open to public inspection.‖ It concluded that the two statutes
could not be reconciled and that the Long-Term Care Act‘s mandate that DPH
citations be made public with minimal redaction trumped the Lanterman Act‘s
confidentiality provisions because the Long-Term Care Act was the more specific
statute. DPH filed a petition for writ of extraordinary mandate.
The Court of Appeal acknowledged a conflict between the Long-Term Care
Act and the Lanterman Act, but determined that the statutes could be harmonized.
It observed that ―the Lanterman Act and the Long-Term Care Act apply to the
same population and seek the same purpose — to promote and protect the health
and safety of mental health patients. But the two acts effectuate this common
purpose from opposite directions. The Lanterman Act effectuates this purpose by
ensuring the confidentiality of mental health records — this encourages persons
with mental problems to seek, accept and undergo treatment and to be open and
candid in treatment. The Long-Term Care Act effectuates this purpose, as relevant
here, by making citations for violations of patient care standards publicly
accessible, so the public can oversee what is happening in these facilities.‖ The
―congruence of population and purpose, and this effectuation of purpose from
opposite directions, creates a complementarity of method to effectuate the
common purpose for this common population. In this way, these confidentiality
and public accessibility provisions can be harmonized.‖
5
The Court of Appeal undertook this harmonization by evaluating each
category of information that the Long-Term Care Act requires to be included in
citations. The court then determined whether disclosing each type of information
would ―giv[e] [e]ffect to [b]oth the Lanterman Act and the Long-Term Care Act.‖
Applying this test, the Court of Appeal determined that, in light of the Lanterman
Act‘s purpose of protecting confidentiality, the following information should be
redacted from DPH citations issued under the Long-Term Care Act before they are
made public: ―any names contained in the citations, other than those of the
authorized inspectors and investigators specified in section 1439 of the Long-Term
Care Act,‖ and ―[t]he patient‘s or resident‘s mental, physical, and medical
conditions, history of mental disability or disorder, as well as the risk the violation
presents to that mental and physical condition.‖ By contrast, DPH must release
the following information in light of the Long-Term Care Act‘s policy favoring
publication of citations: ―what was the harm, what was the abuse, what was the
lack of respect or dignity afforded, and what was the action that the facility did or
failed to do,‖ ― ‗the particular place or area of the facility in which [the violation]
occurred,‘ ‖ ―the ‗good faith efforts exercised by the facility to prevent the
violation from occurring‘ [citation], and ‗[t]he licensee‘s history of compliance
with regulations.‘ ‖
Justice Hoch dissented. She would have concluded that the two statutes
were in irreconcilable conflict as to what information in a DPH citation can or
must be released to the public. She would have resolved the conflict by
concluding that the Long-Term Care Act prevailed because its relevant provisions
are more specific and later enacted than section 5328. We granted review.
II.
We begin by describing the two statutory schemes at issue.
6
A.
The Long-Term Care Act was enacted in 1973 with the purpose of
―establish[ing] (1) a citation system for the imposition of prompt and effective
civil sanctions against long-term health care facilities in violation of the laws and
regulations of this state, and the federal laws and regulations as applicable to
nursing facilities as defined in subdivision (k) of Section 1250, relating to patient
care; (2) an inspection and reporting system to ensure that long-term health care
facilities are in compliance with state statutes and regulations pertaining to patient
care; and (3) a provisional licensing mechanism to ensure that full-term licenses
are issued only to those long-term health care facilities that meet state standards
relating to patient care.‖ (Health & Saf. Code, § 1417.1.) It makes DPH
responsible for licensing, investigating, and sanctioning long-term health care
facilities throughout the state. (See Kizer v. County of San Mateo (1991) 53
Cal.3d 139, 142 (Kizer) [summarizing the DPH‘s obligations under the Long-
Term Care Act].)
The term ―long-term health care facility‖ is defined as any of eight types of
licensed care facilities. (Health & Saf. Code, §§ 1418, subd. (a), 1760.) Four of
the eight categories of long term care facilities — ―[i]ntermediate care
facility/developmentally disabled,‖ ―[i]ntermediate care facility/developmentally
disabled habilitative,‖ ―[i]ntermediate care facility/developmentally disabled—
nursing,‖ and ―[i]ntermediate care facility/developmentally disabled—continuous
nursing‖ (id., § 1418, subd. (a)(3)–(5), (8)) — serve only developmentally
disabled persons.
Section 1422 explains the importance of DPH inspections and the
procedure for conducting them. It declares that ―inspections are the most effective
means‖ of ensuring a high level of care at long-term health care facilities. (Health
& Saf. Code, § 1422, subd. (a).) It requires DPH to conduct inspections upon
7
receiving a complaint, and no less frequently than once every two years regardless
of whether any complaint has been filed. (Id., § 1422, subd. (b).) If an inspection
uncovers any violations of state or federal standards of care, the inspector must
recommend a federal enforcement remedy or issue a citation unless the violation is
deemed an ― ‗unusual occurrence.‘ ‖ (Id., § 1423, subds. (a) & (c).)
Before the Long-Term Care Act was enacted, the only significant sanctions
available against a long-term health care facility were misdemeanor criminal
charges, injunctions, or suspension or revocation of the facility‘s license. (Sen.
Com. on Health & Welfare, Analysis of Assem. Bill No. 1600 (1973–1974 Reg.
Sess.) as amended June 21, 1973, p. 1.) This system was ―criticized as too rigid,
lacking in intermediate sanctions, and ineffective in producing compliance with
standards.‖ (Ibid.; see Joint Com. on Aging, Analysis of Assem. Bill No. 1600
(1973–1974 Reg. Sess.) p. 4; Report of Joint Com. on Aging, Rep. Regarding
Assem. Bill No. 1600 (1973–1974 Reg. Sess.) 5 Assem. J. (1973–1974 Reg. Sess.)
p. 8786 (Joint Committee Report) [describing the available remedies as ―either too
weak or too severe in nature‖].) The Long-Term Care Act also specifically sought
to combat the problem that ―[t]he Department‘s reports on nursing homes and their
relative compliance with patient health and safety standards were all centralized in
Sacramento and, therefore, practically inaccessible to nursing home consumers.‖
(Joint Com. Rep. at p. 8786.)
Although the Long-Term Care Act‘s inspection and citation process serves
to punish by naming and shaming facilities that violate the law, ―[t]he focus of the
. . . statutory scheme is preventative.‖ (Kizer, supra, 53 Cal.3d at p. 148.) It
serves to ―protect patients from actual harm, and encourage health care facilities to
comply with the applicable regulations and thereby avoid imposition of the
penalties‖ that accompany a citation. (Ibid.) The Long-Term Care Act, and
Health and Safety Code section 1424 in particular, ―is designed to protect one of
8
the most vulnerable segments of our population, ‗nursing care patients . . . who are
already disabled by age and[/or] infirmity,‘ and hence in need of the safeguards
provided by state enforcement of patient care standards.‖ (California Assn. of
Health Facilities v. Department of Health Services (1997) 16 Cal.4th 284, 295.)
―As a remedial statute, section 1424 is to be liberally construed on behalf of the
class of persons it is designed to protect.‖ (Ibid.)
The Long-Term Care Act details the information that must be included in
every citation, and it specifies that citations are public records. It also specifies
that the patient‘s or resident‘s name must be redacted and is not part of the public
record. Section 1423 provides that ―[e]ach citation shall be in writing and shall
describe with particularity the nature of the violation, including a reference to the
statutory provision, standard, rule, or regulation alleged to have been violated, the
particular place or area of the facility in which it occurred, as well as the amount
of any proposed assessment of a civil penalty. The name of any patient
jeopardized by the alleged violation shall not be specified in the citation in order to
protect the privacy of the patient. However, at the time the licensee is served with
the citation, the licensee shall also be served with a written list of each of the
names of the patients alleged to have been jeopardized by the violation, that shall
not be subject to disclosure as a public record.‖ (Health & Saf. Code, § 1423,
subd. (a)(2).)
Section 1424 provides that DPH‘s determination of the appropriate penalty,
including the specific factors considered, must be made public. In determining the
penalty, DPH must consider ―all relevant facts . . . including, but not limited to,
the following: [¶] (1) [t]he probability and severity of the risk that the violation
presents to the patient‘s or resident‘s mental and physical condition[,] [¶] (2) [t]he
patient‘s or resident‘s medical condition[,] [¶] (3) [t]he patient‘s or resident‘s
mental condition and his or her history of mental disability or disorder[,] [¶] (4)
9
[t]he good faith efforts exercised by the facility to prevent the violation from
occurring[,] [¶] (5) [t]he licensee‘s history of compliance with regulations.‖
(Health & Saf. Code, § 1424, subd. (a).) These ―facts considered by the
department in determining the amount of the civil penalty shall be documented by
the department on an attachment to the citation and available in the public record.‖
(Id., subd. (b).)
Class ―AA‖ and ―A‖ citations — i.e., citations issued for violations that are
a proximate cause of the death of a patient or resident or that pose a substantial
probability of causing serious physical harm or death (Health & Saf. Code, § 1424,
subds. (c), (d)) — ―shall be prominently posted for 120 days . . . in a place or
places in plain view of the patients or residents in the long-term health care
facility, persons visiting those patients or residents, and persons who inquire about
placement in the facility.‖ (Id., subd. (a).) The format and content of these public
postings are carefully delineated, with specific requirements regarding document
formatting and the location where the citations must be posted. (Ibid.) Less
severe class ―B‖ citations need not be publicly posted, but ―shall be made
promptly available by the licensee for inspection or examination by any member
of the public who so requests.‖ (Id., subd. (b).) It is a separate class ―B‖ violation
to fail to comply with these requirements. (Id., subd. (c).)
Finally, the Long-Term Care Act says, ―Any writing received, owned, used,
or retained by [DPH] in connection with the provisions of this chapter is a public
record within the meaning of subdivision (d) of Section 6252 of the Government
Code, and, as such, is open to public inspection pursuant to the provision of
Section 6253, 6256, 6257, and 6258 of the Government Code.‖ (Health & Saf.
Code, § 1439.) Again, the statute emphasizes that the patients‘ and residents‘
names must be redacted but does not mention any other redaction. (Ibid. [―[T]he
names of any persons contained in such records, except the names of duly
10
authorized officers, employees, or agents of the state department conducting an
investigation or inspection in response to a complaint filed pursuant to this
chapter, shall not be open to public inspection and copies of such records provided
for public inspection shall have such names deleted.‖].)
B.
The Lanterman-Petris-Short Act was enacted in 1967. (Stats. 1967,
ch. 1667, § 36, p. 4074.) Its stated purposes include ―provid[ing] prompt
evaluation and treatment of persons with mental health disorders or impaired by
chronic alcoholism‖ (§ 5001, subd. (b)), ―encourag[ing] the full use of all existing
agencies, professional personnel, and public funds to accomplish these objectives‖
(id., subd. (f)), and ―protect[ing] persons with mental health disabilities and
developmental disabilities from criminal acts‖ (id., subd. (g)).
The relevant provisions here are Welfare and Institutions Code sections
5328 and 4514. Section 5328 provides that ―[a]ll information and records
obtained in the course of providing services under‖ enumerated statutory divisions
addressing services provided to mentally ill individuals ―to either voluntary or
involuntary recipients of services shall be confidential. . . .‖ It further provides
that ―[i]nformation and records shall be disclosed only in any of the following
cases‖ and then enumerates 25 specific exceptions. The exceptions include,
among other things, referrals of patients or residents between qualified
professionals, disclosure to approved researchers who sign an oath of
confidentiality, disclosure ―[t]o the courts, as necessary to the administration of
justice‖ (id., subd. (f)) and disclosure to an insurer when approved by the recipient
of services. (Id., subds. (a), (e), & (i).)
As originally enacted, section 5328 contained a much shorter list of
exceptions. (See Stats. 1967, ch. 1667, § 36, pp. 4092–4093.) It was reenacted
and amended in 1972 (Stats. 1972, ch. 1058, § 2, pp. 1960–1961) and has
11
subsequently been amended several times to expand the list of exceptions. As
discussed in more detail below, the Legislature enacted additional exceptions to
section 5328‘s confidentiality rule in 1980, which were codified at Welfare and
Institutions Code section 5328.15. (Stats. 1980, ch. 695, § 1, p. 2095.) Section
5328.15 has been amended several times. The most relevant amendment occurred
in 2012, when the Legislature authorized disclosure of confidential information,
including ―unredacted citation report[s],‖ to any ―protection and advocacy agency
established pursuant to [Welfare and Institutions Code] Section 4901.‖
(§ 5328.15, subd. (c)(2); see Stats. 2012, ch. 664, § 3.)
Welfare and Institutions Code section 4514 is substantively identical to
section 5328. Under section 4514, information and records obtained in the course
of providing services to developmentally disabled persons are confidential. This
provision was originally subsumed within section 5328, which at the time applied
to the records of both mentally ill and developmentally disabled residents and
patients. (See Gilbert v. Superior Court (1987) 193 Cal.App.3d 161, 168–169.)
In 1982, the Legislature moved the protections for developmentally disabled
persons to section 4514, where they appear as part of the Lanterman
Developmental Disabilities Services Act, a statute addressing services for
developmentally disabled persons. (Ibid.; see § 4500 et seq.) No substantive
change was intended. (See Cal. Health & Welfare Agency, Enrolled Bill Rep. on
Sen. Bill No. 1736 (1981–1982 Reg. Sess.) Aug. 23, 1982; Sen. Com. on Health &
Welfare, Analysis of Sen. Bill No. 1736 (1981–1982 Reg. Sess.) as introduced
Mar. 11, 1982.) Subdivision (v) of section 4514 contains exemptions from the
general confidentiality rule that are identical to those provided for mentally ill
residents and patients in section 5328.15, subdivision (c)(2). The provisions were
enacted simultaneously and have been amended in a parallel manner throughout
the years. (See, e.g., Stats. 2012, ch. 664.)
12
Section 5328‘s confidentiality protections are designed ―to encourage
persons with mental or alcoholic problems to seek treatment on a voluntary basis.‖
(County of Riverside v. Superior Court (1974) 42 Cal.App.3d 478, 481; see
Sorenson v. Superior Court (2013) 219 Cal.App.4th 409, 447 (Sorenson); In re
S.W. (1978) 79 Cal.App.3d 719, 721 [section 5328 seeks to protect patients from
the ―embarrassment or more serious consequences‖ and ―undesired publicity‖ that
could result if their having received treatment became public knowledge]; see Sen.
Alan Short, attachment to letter to Gov. Ronald Reagan, Aug. 16, 1967, p. 3
[Lanterman Act ―provides for the confidentiality of records so that mentally ill
persons will not be haunted by unauthorized unnecessary exposure of their
medical histories‖].) Anyone who knowingly violates section 5328 by releasing
confidential information without authorization is subject to a civil action with
damages equivalent to the greater of $10,000 or treble the amount of actual
damages. (§ 5330, subd. (a).) Anyone who negligently violates section 5328
faces damages equivalent to $1,000 plus actual damages. (Id., § 5330, subd. (b).)
III.
Before considering the merits of the Court of Appeal‘s effort to harmonize
the Long-Term Care Act and the Lanterman Act, we must first address a threshold
argument. The Center contends that section 5328 does not apply to Long-Term
Care Act citations because such citations are not ―obtained in the course of
providing services‖ (§ 5328) to developmentally disabled or mentally ill persons.
The Center says that an investigation and the resulting citation do not involve
providing services, so their content is not governed by section 5328‘s
confidentiality guarantee.
We disagree. Section 5328 renders confidential ―[a]ll information and
records obtained in the course of providing services‖ to patients or residents
receiving services pursuant to several enumerated statutory divisions. (§ 5328.) It
13
is true that DPH is not a service provider directly regulated by section 5328. But
when DPH investigates a facility governed by section 5328, it inevitably relies
upon records from the facility in carrying out its investigation. (See Health & Saf.
Code, §§ 1420, subd. (a)(2) [the investigator ―shall collect and evaluate all
available evidence‖ including ―[s]tatements of witnesses,‖ ―[f]acility records,‖ and
―[o]bserved conditions‖], 1421, subd. (a) [similar].) Facility records plainly
constitute ―information and records obtained in the course of providing services.‖
That this information may then be passed on to the investigator and incorporated
into a DPH citation does not change the fact that they are deemed confidential by
statute.
The Center relies on Sorenson, supra, 219 Cal.App.4th 409, Tarasoff v.
Regents of University of California (1976) 17 Cal.3d 425, 443 (Tarasoff), and
Devereaux v. Latham & Watkins (1995) 32 Cal.App.4th 1571, 1585 (Devereaux)
in support of its argument that the information in DPH citations is not ―obtained in
the course of providing services.‖ But none of these cases stands for the
proposition that confidential information obtained during a DPH investigation
becomes public when an investigator reviews or reproduces it.
Sorenson said that section 5328 did not render court transcripts of
Lanterman Act commitment proceedings nonpublic. But this was in part because
section 5328 specifically provides for disclosure of confidential information ― ‗[t]o
the courts, as necessary to the administration of justice.‘ ‖ (Sorenson, supra, 219
Cal.App.4th at pp. 444, quoting § 5328, subd. (f).) So court proceedings
discussing information obtained in the course of treating a patient or resident are
not confidential precisely because section 5328 expressly authorizes release of
such information under the circumstances. Here, by contrast, the Center does not
argue that any enumerated exemption to section 5328 authorizes disclosure of
14
confidential information obtained in the course of providing services to mentally
ill and developmentally disabled patients and residents.
Tarasoff and Devereaux are even further afield. Neither case involved a
patient or resident who was alleged to have been receiving treatment under the
Lanterman Act at the time the record in question was generated. (See Tarasoff,
supra, 17 Cal.3d at p. 443 [―[t]he pleadings . . . state no facts showing that the
psychotherapy provided to [the patient] by [the hospital] falls under any of [the]
programs‖ enumerated in § 5328]; Devereaux, supra, 32 Cal.App.4th at p. 1585
[the patient ―failed to allege with any specificity the nature of [the] records so as to
bring them within the purview of . . . section 5328‖].) They therefore have little
relevance here.
A.
We now turn to the primary question that occupied the Court of Appeal:
whether the Long-Term Care Act and the Lanterman Act can be harmonized, or
whether one must prevail over the other.
We have recently emphasized the importance of harmonizing potentially
inconsistent statutes. ― ‗A court must, where reasonably possible, harmonize
statutes, reconcile seeming inconsistencies in them, and construe them to give
force and effect to all of their provisions. [Citations.] This rule applies although
one of the statutes involved deals generally with a subject and another relates
specifically to particular aspects of the subject.‘ [Citation.] Thus, when ‗ ―two
codes are to be construed, they ‗must be regarded as blending into each other and
forming a single statute.‘ [Citation.] Accordingly, they ‗must be read together
and so construed as to give effect, when possible, to all the provisions thereof.‘
[Citation.]‖ ‘ [Citation.] Further, ‗ ― ‗[a]ll presumptions are against a repeal by
implication. [Citations.]‘ [Citation.] Absent an express declaration of legislative
intent, we will find an implied repeal ‗only when there is no rational basis for
15
harmonizing the two potentially conflicting statutes [citation], and the statutes are
―irreconcilable, clearly repugnant, and so inconsistent that the two cannot have
concurrent operation.‖ ‘ ‖ ‘ ‖ (Pacific Palisades Bowl Mobile Estates, LLC v. City
of Los Angeles (2012) 55 Cal.4th 783, 805 (Pacific Palisades); see Chavez v. City
of Los Angeles (2010) 47 Cal.4th 970, 986.)
But the requirement that courts harmonize potentially inconsistent statutes
when possible is not a license to redraft the statutes to strike a compromise that the
Legislature did not reach. (See Garcia v. McCutchen (1997) 16 Cal.4th 469, 479
[―the general policy underlying legislation ‗cannot supplant the intent of the
Legislature as expressed in a particular statute‘ ‖].) The cases in which we have
harmonized potentially conflicting statutes involve choosing one plausible
construction of a statute over another in order to avoid a conflict with a second
statute. (See, e.g., Pacific Palisades, supra, 55 Cal.4th at p. 803 [characterizing
the statute being construed as ―unclear or ambiguous‖]; Brown v. Mortensen
(2011) 51 Cal.4th 1052, 1067–1068 [harmonizing two federal statutes where the
first statute was ―silent‖ on the question at issue].) This canon of construction,
like all such canons, does not authorize courts to rewrite statutes.
The Court of Appeal misapplied the harmonization rule here. It did not
interpret either the Lanterman Act or the Long-Term Care Act in a way that
rendered the text of the two acts consistent. Instead, its harmonization analysis
began by considering the ―common purpose‖ of the two acts, i.e., ―to promote and
protect the health and safety of mental health patients.‖ It then harmonized the
statutes by considering, in its own independent judgment, whether disclosure of
the various types of information listed as public records in the Long-Term Care
Act would serve this common purpose. This approach was well intentioned but
erroneous.
16
Instead of starting with the statutes‘ purposes, the Court of Appeal should
have started with their respective texts. (See Pineda v. Williams-Sonoma Stores,
Inc. (2011) 51 Cal.4th 524, 529 [―we look first to the words of a statute, ‗because
they generally provide the most reliable indicator of legislative intent‘ ‖].)
Beginning with the text of the statutes, we conclude that the statutes are in conflict
and thus one must be interpreted as providing an exception to the other.
The Long-Term Care Act states not only that DPH citations are public
records, but that ―AA‖ and ―A‖ citations must be publicly posted at the facility in
question. (Health & Saf. Code, §§ 1424, subd. (b), 1429, subds. (a) & (b), 1439.)
Section 1424, subdivision (a) specifically states the factors DPH must consider
when choosing the appropriate fine for a violation. Those factors include ―[t]he
patient‘s or resident‘s medical condition,‖ ―his or her history of mental disability
or disorder,‖ and ―[t]he probability and severity of the risk that the violation
presents to the patient‘s or resident‘s mental and physical condition.‖ (Id., § 1424,
subd. (a).) These ―facts considered by the department in determining the amount
of the civil penalty shall be documented by the department on an attachment to the
citation and available in the public record.‖ (Id., subd. (b).) And section 1429
adds detailed regulations as to the manner in which citations must be posted at the
facility, mandating where the citations must be displayed, the size and color of the
display, and the font size that must be used. (Id., § 1429, subds. (a), (b).)
In two separate statutory provisions, the Long-Term Care Act also
mandates the precise redactions that should occur before making a citation public.
Section 1423 states that ―[t]he name of any patient jeopardized by the alleged
violation shall not be specified in the citation in order to protect the privacy of the
patient.‖ (Health & Saf. Code, § 1423, subd. (a)(2).) Although patient names
must be made available to the sanctioned facility itself, they ―shall not be subject
to disclosure as a public record.‖ (Ibid.) Similarly, section 1439 states that ―[a]ny
17
writing . . . retained by the state department in connection with the provisions of
this chapter is a public record . . . and, as such, is open to public inspection
pursuant to the provisions of [the Public Records Act]. However, the names of
any persons contained in such records, except the names of duly authorized
officers, employees, or agents of the state department conducting an investigation
or inspection . . . shall not be open to public inspection and copies of such records
provided for public inspection shall have such names deleted.‖
Thus, the Long-Term Care Act‘s detailed provisions mandate the contents
and public nature of DPH citations, as well as the information that must be
redacted before the citations are made public. By specifying that names must be
redacted from the public copies of citations but not mentioning any other
information that may be redacted, sections 1423 and 1439 leave little room for
concluding that any further redaction is permitted. (See Rojas v. Superior Court
(2004) 33 Cal.4th 407, 424 [― ‗[I]f exemptions are specified in a statute, we may
not imply additional exemptions unless there is a clear legislative intent to the
contrary.‘ ‖].) Accordingly, we conclude that the express terms of the Long-Term
Care Act require that citations be made public subject only to the restriction that
the names used in the citation must be redacted, except for the names of DPH‘s
investigating officers, employees, or agents.
By contrast, the Lanterman Act‘s express terms would render most of the
information included in a DPH citation confidential and therefore not subject to
disclosure. It renders confidential ―[a]ll information and records obtained in the
course of providing services‖ to patients and residents under the enumerated
statutory divisions. (§ 5328, italics added.) As noted, the types of information a
DPH investigator must compile will necessarily derive from such information.
Furthermore, the Lanterman Act specifically enumerates 25 exceptions to its
general ban on disclosure of confidential information, none of which is applicable
18
here. No exception permits publication of confidential patient or resident
information so long as the patient‘s or resident‘s name is redacted.
It is thus evident that the two statutory schemes conflict. On one hand, the
Long-Term Care Act, which expressly applies to facilities that provide the types of
services enumerated in section 5328 (see Health & Saf. Code, § 1418), requires
publication of all information contained in DPH-issued citations except for the
names of patients or residents (or information that constitutes the constructive
equivalent of the patients‘ or residents‘ names). Failure to publicly post the
citations in the manner required by the Long-Term Care Act is a class ―B‖
violation of the Long-Term Care Act resulting in a $1,000 civil penalty. (Id.,
§ 1429, subd. (c).) On the other hand, section 5328 provides that all information
obtained in the course of providing enumerated services to patients or residents is
confidential and thus not subject to disclosure. As such, the Lanterman Act would
require extensive redaction of citations before they could be made public. The
knowing disclosure of such confidential information exposes the discloser to a
minimum of $10,000 in civil liability; negligent disclosure exposes the discloser to
a minimum of $1,000 in civil liability. (§ 5330.) In sum, the Lanterman Act
prohibits disclosure of information that the Long-Term Care Act deems public.
The Court of Appeal‘s harmonization effort results in a disclosure scheme
that is inconsistent with the requirements of either statute. By permitting DPH to
disclose ―what was the harm [to the patient or resident], what was the abuse, what
was the lack of respect or dignity afforded, and what was the action that the
facility did or failed to do‖ (italics omitted), the Court of Appeal did not give full
effect to section 5328‘s mandate that such information is the type of medical
information that must be maintained as confidential to protect patients and
residents from embarrassment. And by requiring redaction of information that the
Long-Term Care Act expressly requires to be included in the public record,
19
including ―[t]he patient‘s or resident‘s mental, physical, and medical conditions,
history of mental disability or disorder, as well as the risk the violation presents to
that mental and physical condition,‖ the Court of Appeal did not give full effect to
that act‘s purpose of preventing future violations by making facilities‘ past
violations publicly known with a high degree of specificity. As Justice Hoch put
it, ―under the guise of bringing harmony, the majority opinion does violence to
two statutory enactments — carving out of the Lanterman Act an exception
allowing public citations to include an unredacted description of the nature of the
violation, and severing from the Long-Term Care Act the requirement that the
public record contain the aforementioned ‗relevant facts.‘ ‖
Even if the Court of Appeal‘s methodology had been sound, it is not clear
that the balance it struck was logical. The Court of Appeal‘s decision required the
redaction of information, including information on ―the risk the violation presents
to [the patient‘s or resident‘s] mental and physical condition,‖ that is highly
significant to understanding how and why the DPH selected a particular penalty as
the appropriate punishment for a particular violation. At the same time, the Court
of Appeal‘s compromise leaves in the public record enough facts for a patient or
resident who was the victim of the misconduct to know that he or she is the subject
of the citation. It is hard to see how such results would protect patients from the
embarrassment of seeing their suffering disclosed in the public record or advance
the Long-Term Care Act‘s goal of specifically and publicly identifying the full
scope of a facility‘s misconduct.
In addition, the Court of Appeal‘s harmonization requires facilities to walk
a tightrope when balancing their obligations to protect confidentiality and to make
citations public. The slightest misstep in either direction exposes facilities to
significant civil liability. (See Health & Saf. Code, § 1429, subd. (c); § 5330,
subds. (a) & (b).) It is unclear whether a risk-averse facility would react by over-
20
redacting or under-redacting. What is clear is that facilities would be exposed to a
dilemma that the Legislature in all likelihood did not intend to create.
We also reject DPH‘s argument that the statutes can be harmonized by
reading section 1439 as authorizing the extensive redaction of citations permitted
by the Court of Appeal. Section 1439 requires disclosure of citations ―pursuant to
the provision of‖ the Public Records Act. In turn, the Public Records Act provides
that ―public records exempt from disclosure by express provisions of law‖ need
not be disclosed. (Gov. Code, § 6253, subd. (b).) According to DPH, section
5328 is such an ―express provision of law,‖ thus creating an exemption from the
Public Records Act‘s general rule favoring disclosure of governmental records.
But interpreting section 5328 to define the information subject to disclosure under
the Long-Term Care Act would mean section 1439 has little if any practical effect
as to mentally ill and developmentally disabled individuals in state-owned long-
term health care facilities, who constitute a significant portion of the individuals
section 5328 encompasses. It is hard to fathom why the Legislature would have
expressly stated in section 1439 that ―the names of any persons contained in such
records . . . shall not be open to public inspection,‖ if it also meant to define the
scope of required redactions through reference to section 5328, which renders all
patient and resident records confidential unless otherwise provided. Reading the
statutes in the manner DPH proposes would also shield long-term care facilities
serving mentally ill and developmentally disabled residents from public scrutiny in
a manner not applicable to other long-term care facilities. (Cf. Kizer, supra, 53
Cal.3d at p. 148 [declining to construe the Long-Term Care Act to create ―a two-
tiered system of enforcement‖].) We therefore conclude it is not ―reasonably
possible‖ to harmonize these provisions ―without distorting their apparent
meaning.‖ (Fields v. Eu (1976) 18 Cal.3d 322, 328.)
21
For similar reasons, we reject DPH‘s argument that the Information
Practices Act of 1977 protects from disclosure the information contained in DPH
citations. The Information Practices Act does not apply to records that are
disclosable ―[p]ursuant to the California Public Records Act.‖ (Civ. Code,
§ 1798.24, subd. (g).) DPH‘s argument under the Information Practices Act
assumes that section 5328 either defines the scope of disclosure required under the
Long-Term Care Act or announces an exception to the Public Records Act‘s
general rule that public records are disclosable. We have rejected the former
proposition, and the latter is the dispositive question in this appeal.
B.
We now address the dispositive question: whether the Lanterman Act must
be treated as an exception to the Long-Term Care Act‘s general rule that DPH
citations must be made public with only minimal redactions, or whether the Long-
Term Care Act must be treated as an exception to the Lanterman Act‘s general
rule that all information obtained in the course of treating mentally ill and
developmentally disabled patients and residents is confidential.
The rules we must apply when faced with two irreconcilable statutes are
well established. ―If conflicting statutes cannot be reconciled, later enactments
supersede earlier ones [citation], and more specific provisions take precedence
over more general ones [citation].‖ (Collection Bureau of San Jose v. Rumsey
(2000) 24 Cal.4th 301, 310 (Rumsey).) But when these two rules are in conflict,
the rule that specific provisions take precedence over more general ones trumps
the rule that later-enacted statutes have precedence. (See People v. Gilbert (1969)
1 Cal.3d 475, 479 [― ‗It is the general rule that where the general statute standing
alone would include the same matter as the special act, and thus conflict with it,
the special act will be considered as an exception to the general statute whether it
was passed before or after such general enactment.‘ ‖]; see Nunes Turfgrass, Inc.
22
v. Vaughan-Jacklin Seed Co. (1988) 200 Cal.App.3d 1518, 1539 [same]; see also
Code Civ. Proc., § 1859 [―when a general and particular provision are
inconsistent, the latter is paramount to the former‖].)
The parties rely on dueling cases to demonstrate which statute is more
specific. The Center cites cases to demonstrate that the relevant provisions of the
Long-Term Care Act are more specific because they deal with a more specific
subject matter — i.e., DPH citations — than does section 5328 of the Lanterman
Act. (See, e.g., Marsh v. Edward Theatres Circuit, Inc. (1976) 64 Cal.App.3d
881, 890 [―A special statute dealing expressly with a particular subject controls
and takes precedence over a more general statute covering the same subject.‖].)
On the other hand, DPH argues that the Lanterman Act is more specific because it
applies to a narrower group of individuals. (See In re Ward (1964) 227
Cal.App.2d 369, 374–375.)
―[O]ur goal is to discern the probable intent of the Legislature so as to
effectuate the purpose of the laws in question.‖ (Rumsey, supra, 24 Cal.4th at
pp. 309–310; see Code Civ. Proc., § 1859.) Considering the precise nature of the
two statutory schemes here, we conclude that the Long-Term Care Act is the more
specific statute. The particularly detailed nature of the Long-Term Care Act‘s
discussion of DPH citations demonstrates that the Legislature thought carefully
and specifically about the importance of publishing citations and concluded that
patients‘ and residents‘ confidentiality was adequately protected by redacting the
names of the victims of a violation. The Lanterman Act, by contrast, addresses the
confidentiality of records obtained in the course of treating mentally ill and
developmentally disabled individuals at a high level of generality. Further,
although the Long-Term Care Act applies to some facilities that are unlikely to
provide services under the Lanterman Act, four of the eight categories of long-
term health care facilities defined in the Long-Term Care Act exclusively serve
23
developmentally disabled persons. The Lanterman Act, by comparison, applies
whether or not services are provided in a ―long-term health care facility.‖ On
balance, the specificity with which the Long-Term Care Act discusses DPH
citations and the fact that developmentally disabled and mentally ill individuals
are among the primary groups the Legislature sought to protect via the Long-Term
Care Act persuade us that the Legislature intended DPH citations to be made
public subject only to any redaction required by the Long-Term Care Act,
notwithstanding section 5328‘s broad language.
This conclusion is buttressed by the fact that the Long-Term Care Act is the
later-enacted statute. The Long-Term Care Act was enacted just over a year after
section 5328 was amended and reenacted. The Legislature that enacted the Long-
Term Care Act was no doubt aware of the privacy concerns presented by public
disclosure of information obtained in the course of treating mentally ill and
developmentally disabled individuals. Yet the Long-Term Care Act, as originally
enacted, included Health and Safety Code section 1439, which expressly mandates
that every ―writing‖ DPH generates under the Long-Term Care Act is a matter of
public record subject only to the redaction of the names of the individuals
involved (other than DPH investigators). Had the Legislature intended to treat
citations issued to facilities caring for mentally ill and developmentally disabled
patients and residents differently than citations issued to other facilities, it likely
would have said so given how recently it had reconsidered section 5328.
The Legislature has amended section 5328 several times since 1972 to
update statutory cross-references and to expand the list of exceptions. In 1982, the
Legislature enacted section 4514, which is substantively identical to section 5328
but pertains exclusively to developmentally disabled individuals. These changes
left intact the key language of section 5328: the requirement that ―[a]ll
information and records obtained in the course of providing services . . . to either
24
voluntary or involuntary recipients of services shall be confidential.‖ (§ 5328; see
Gov. Code, § 9605 [―Where a section or part of a statute is amended . . . . [t]he
portions which are not altered are to be considered as having been the law from
the time when they were enacted . . . .‖].)
Moreover, the Legislature has continued to view the Long-Term Care Act
as demanding specific and detailed disclosure of DPH citations. Section 1424‘s
statement that ―[r]elevant facts considered by [DPH] in determining the amount of
the civil penalty [for a citation] shall be documented by [DPH] on an attachment to
the citation and available in the public record‖ was added by the Legislature in
1998. (Health & Saf. Code, § 1424, subd. (b); as amended by Stats. 1998, ch. 650,
§ 3, p. 4249.) Thus, more than 25 years after the original enactment of the Long-
Term Care Act, the Legislature reaffirmed the importance of publicly releasing the
detailed information contained in the attachments to a DPH citation, and it did so
without suggesting that section 5328 limited the scope of disclosure. (Cf.
Albertson v. Superior Court (2001) 25 Cal.4th 796, 804–807 [relying on
legislative history showing that the Legislature had enacted a statute requiring
disclosure of confidential records of sex offenders to the district attorney despite
the fact that no such exemption was added to section 5328].)
DPH acknowledges that the Long-Term Care Act was enacted after section
5328 but argues that the Legislature‘s 2012 enactment of three identical statutory
provisions (§§ 4514, subd. (v), 4903, subd. (h), 5328.15, subd. (c)) shows that the
Legislature understands the Long-Term Care Act to be subordinate to section
5328‘s confidentiality rule. These identical provisions provide that confidential
records may be disclosed to a private nonprofit ―protection and advocacy‖ agency
established pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 4901 for the purpose
of protecting patients‘ and residents‘ interests. Specifically, a facility may
disclose ―[a]n unredacted citation report‖ to the protection and advocacy agency,
25
but the disclosed ―information shall remain confidential and subject to the
confidentiality requirements of subdivision (f)‖ of section 4903. (§§ 4514,
subd. (v)(2), 4903, subd. (h)(2), 5328.15, subd. (c)(2), italics added.) DPH says
these provisions would be ―pointless if unredacted citation reports containing
Lanterman-protected information were already available to the general public
under the [Long-Term Care Act] and/or [the Public Records Act].‖
Contrary to DPH‘s argument, the 2012 enactments do not provide
protection and advocacy agencies with merely the same access to DPH citations
that the general public has under the Long-Term Care Act. The statutes, by their
terms, provide for disclosures of unredacted citations, i.e., citations that include
the names that sections 1423 and 1439 of the Health and Safety Code require to be
redacted. Thus, the recent enactments at most prove that the Legislature in 2012
sought to ensure greater access to citations for the protection and advocacy agency
than the degree of access to which the general public is entitled. This is hardly
surprising given that the protection and advocacy agency needs to know who was
actually harmed by a facility‘s misconduct in order to fulfill the agency‘s statutory
mandate of ―protecting and advocating for the rights of people with disabilities,‖
including by ―[p]ursu[ing] administrative, legal, and other appropriate remedies or
approaches.‖ (§ 4902, subd. (a)(2).) The 2012 enactments also operate in a
different procedural context: whereas a member of the general public must file a
Public Records Act request for a copy of the citation with redactions to remove
patient names, the protection and advocacy agency gains direct access to
unredacted records within three days of making a request. (§ 4903, subd. (e)(1).)
The legislative history of the 2012 enactments further supports the Center‘s
position. The enactments were directed at a specific problem: DPH‘s refusal to
provide unredacted reports regarding Lanterman-protected residents to the state‘s
protection and advocacy agency absent a case-specific showing of probable cause.
26
(Sen. Com. on Human Services, Analysis of Sen. Bill No. 1377 (2011–2012 Reg.
Sess.) as amended Aug. 20, 2012, p. 4 (Senate Analysis).) DPH cited sections
5328 and 4514 as the basis for this policy. (Sen. Analysis, at pp. 3–4.) But
legislators who supported the 2012 enactments considered DPH‘s probable cause
requirement ―unnecessary and unwarranted‖ in light of the protection and
advocacy agency‘s existing right to access relevant reports and its statutory
obligation to maintain confidentiality. (Id. at p. 4.) These supporters hoped that
by clarifying the protection and advocacy agency‘s right of access, the new
provisions would ―eliminate [DPH‘s] relatively recent practice that has resulted in
substantial delays of records.‖ (Id. at p. 5.) Contrary to DPH‘s argument, this
legislative history does not suggest that the Legislature accepted DPH‘s broad
interpretation of sections 5328 and 4514. If anything, the 2012 enactments
rejected that interpretation by reaffirming the protection and advocacy agency‘s
preexisting right of access. (Cf. W.R. Grace & Co. v. Cal. Employment Com.
(1944) 24 Cal.2d 720, 729 [―Although courts ordinarily infer an intent to change
the law from a material change in the language of a statute [citations], the
circumstances may indicate merely a legislative intent to clarify the law . . . .‖].)
DPH‘s argument that section 5328.15, subdivision (a) evinces the
Legislature‘s intent to limit the scope of public disclosure of DPH citations is
similarly flawed. That provision permits the disclosure of any and all information
that is confidential under section 5328 to DPH licensing personnel. It does not
refer specifically to DPH citations imposed under the Long-Term Care Act, nor
does it prove by implication that the Legislature sought to repeal that statute‘s
explicit provisions governing the disclosure of such citations.
In sum, the Long-Term Care Act is both the more specific and the later-
enacted statute. As such, it creates a limited exception to section 5328‘s general
prohibition against the release of any information obtained in the course of
27
providing treatment to mentally ill and developmentally disabled individuals
through the statutorily enumerated programs. Thus, the Long-Term Care Act‘s
provisions govern the scope of information contained in DPH citations that must
be released to the public both at facilities themselves and in response to a request
pursuant to the Public Records Act.
On this record, we do not know whether the 55 citations at issue will be
devoid of personally identifying information once redacted to remove patient and
resident names. Accordingly, we have no occasion to consider whether unusually
detailed citations that clearly identify particular patients or residents without
expressly naming them might require redaction under the Long-Term Care Act.
IV.
For the reasons above, we reverse and remand this case to the Court of
Appeal with instructions to deny DPH‘s petition for writ of mandate. We also
deny DPH‘s motion to take additional evidence.
