On Monday, Gov. Jerry Brown signed a bill boosting the fines California can impose on assisted living facilities for the elderly. Until now, the highest fine regulators could levy for violations was a mere $150. Now they'll be able to impose up to $15,000. The governor enacted the change as part of a package of other bills he signed this weekend that aim to improve care for seniors at the state's 7,500 assisted living facilities.
