An act relating to legislative oversight of payment reform and conflict-free case management for developmental disability services

This bill establishes legislative oversight for payment reform and conflict-free case management changes affecting individuals with developmental disabilities, their families, and service agencies in Vermont. It requires the Department of Disabilities, Aging, and Independent Living to consider individual life circumstances and budget needs alongside standardized assessments, evaluate fiscal impacts on recipients and agencies, and gather input from stakeholders before implementing federally required case management changes. The legislation also mandates that proposed policy changes be presented to relevant legislative committees by February 1, 2023, and repeals a previous 2022 act related to these same topics.
