Transfers administration of programs for certain individuals with developmental disabilities from DHS to DCF.
This bill transfers responsibility for providing developmental disability services to individuals aged 21-29 from the Department of Human Services' Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD) to the Department of Children and Families' Children's System of Care (CSOC). It extends the age limit for CSOC services from 21 to 30 years, delaying the current transition point where individuals typically move to DDD services. The bill requires inter-agency agreements between DCF and DHS to manage the transition and updates references to service administration in existing laws. It does not change eligibility criteria or create new funding but shifts administrative oversight. The change applies to individuals under 30 with developmental disabilities as defined by state law.
