Relates to adding spina bifida to the definition of developmental disability
This bill proposes to add spina bifida to the official list of conditions considered developmental disabilities under the state's mental hygiene law. By making this change, individuals with spina bifida would legally qualify for the same services and support systems currently available to those with other listed conditions like cerebral palsy or autism. The amendment is set to take effect immediately upon passage, ensuring that affected individuals can access relevant resources without delay.
