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 aged 21-29 from the Department of Human Services (DHS) to the Department of Children and Families (DCF). Currently, individuals transition from DCF's children's services to DHS at age 21; this bill delays that transition until age 30. The key mechanism requires DCF's Children's System of Care to determine eligibility and provide services for this age group, while DHS retains oversight of state developmental centers. This change directly affects young adults with developmental disabilities who will now receive services through DCF until age 30 instead of 21.
