Relating to the statewide intellectual and developmental disability coordinating council.

SB 2896 establishes a statewide intellectual and developmental disability coordinating council in Texas. The council, composed of state agency representatives (like Health Services and Education) and community stakeholders (including disability advocates and service providers), is tasked with developing a 5-year strategic plan for disability services, creating biennial funding proposals, and publishing annual inventories of state-funded programs. It directly affects state agencies responsible for disability services and organizations providing those services by requiring coordinated planning and reporting. The bill creates a formal structure to improve coordination of existing disability services across state programs.
