Intellectual & Developmental Disabilities - As enacted, revises record retention requirements for records regarding services and supports received by persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities by the department of disability and aging's contracted providers and departmental facilities and clinics, updates outdated cross-references. - Amends TCA Title 4; Title 12; Title 33; Title 34; Title 36; Title 39; Title 49; Title 52; Title 68; Title 71 and Chapter 688 of the Public Acts of 2024.

SB 1269 updates Tennessee's legal references to align the "Department of Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities" with the current "Department of Disability and Aging" across multiple statutes. It specifically revises record retention requirements, mandating that contracted providers and department facilities preserve records of services for **10 years** after services end (or until a minor reaches adulthood), while other records must be kept for **6 years**. The bill also clarifies that records may be stored digitally if preserved accurately, allowing transfer between media without destroying original records. This directly affects service providers and facilities serving individuals with disabilities by standardizing how their documentation must be maintained.
