Transfers administration of programs for certain individuals with developmental disabilities from DHS to DCF.
This bill transfers responsibility for services to individuals with developmental disabilities under age 30 from the Department of Human Services (DHS) to the Department of Children and Families (DCF). Specifically, it shifts administration from DHS's Division of Developmental Disabilities to DCF's Division of Children's System of Care, extending the age range for DCF oversight from 21 to 30 years. The bill requires an inter-agency agreement between DHS and DCF to manage the transition, including redetermining eligibility for those already receiving services. It does not change eligibility criteria but updates which state department provides and oversees these services.
