Relating to the establishment of an advisory committee to study and make recommendations on services provided to individuals with an intellectual or developmental disability.

HB 1541 establishes an advisory committee to study gaps in care access for individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities and recommend solutions to the legislature. The committee, appointed by the commission, includes diverse stakeholders like state agencies, disability advocacy groups, service providers, and individuals with lived experience. It must meet quarterly to evaluate access to both acute and long-term care services and submit recommendations to address identified gaps. The bill does not change existing services but creates a formal process for gathering input and developing policy proposals.
