Establishes "Autism and Developmental Disabilities Study Commission."
AJR 155 establishes the "Autism and Developmental Disabilities Study Commission" to examine how hospitals, law enforcement, prosecutors' offices, and courts train staff to identify and interact with people with autism, Down syndrome, and other developmental disabilities. The commission, composed of seven members appointed by state officials, will study current training practices and submit a report to the governor and legislature within one year of its formation. The commission will dissolve 30 days after submitting its report, which may include recommendations for legislative or regulatory changes. This resolution does not create new laws but directs a specific study to improve service interactions for affected individuals.
