A Resolution directing the Joint State Government Commission to conduct a study and issue a report on home and community-based services provided to individuals with physical disabilities, intellectual disabilities, autism and other developmental disabilities with a focus on streamlining the application process and improving service delivery.
What changed between versions
The study mandate was changed from a general review of community settings to a specific focus on streamlining applications and improving service delivery for individuals with physical, intellectual, and developmental disabilities.
New requirements were added to evaluate disparities in competitive integrated employment and to analyze wage, payment, and benefit structures for direct care staff across different programs.
The list of entities the commission must consult was expanded to include advocacy groups, the Statewide Independent Living Council, and organizations providing homemaker, chore, and personal assistance services.
New clauses require the study to assess administrative burdens on service coordinators and evaluate the availability of specific support services like housing transition and daily living supports.
The reporting requirement was updated to specify submission to the Majority and Minority Leaders and the Chair and Minority Chair of the Human Services Committee, rather than just the House of Representatives.
