Motion Text
Concurrence, Amendment 1
Summary
Amends the Developmental Disability and Mental Disability Services Act. Provides that the Department of Human Services shall establish the Long-Term Stabilization Support Program consisting of at least 8 homes across the State and the Short-Term Stabilization Support Program consisting of at least 10 homes across the State. Provides for the requirements of each program. Provides that the Department shall submit an annual report to the General Assembly and Governor that outlines the progress and effectiveness of the programs beginning December 31, 2025. Provides that the Department shall adopt rules to develop and implement the programs. Provides for the repeal of the Article on January 1, 2028. Senate Floor Amendment No. 1 Provides that the purpose of the Stabilization Support Pilot Programs Article is to decrease the number of admissions to State developmental centers (rather than to decrease the number of admissions to and transitions from State developmental centers). House Floor Amendment No. 1 Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the provisions of the engrossed bill with the following changes: In provisions concerning the Long-Term Stabilization Support Program and the Short-Term Stabilization Support Program, provides that an individual receiving program services may request alternate placement when the wants or needs of the individual, as reflected in the individual's personal plan, would be better served in another setting along the full spectrum of care. Provides that if an individual or other designated persons, if applicable, in conjunction with the independent service coordination agency, the provider, and clinical staff, believe the individual's wants or needs, as reflected in the individual's personal plan, would be better served in an alternate setting along the full spectrum of care, those opportunities shall be discussed as they are identified. Permits such a request to be made at any point during a specified time period or at the conclusion of that period, when assessing whether continued participation in the program would be appropriate for the individual. Removes provisions requiring the Department of Human Services to submit annual reports to the General Assembly and the Governor on the progress and effectiveness of the programs. Instead requires the Department to publish quarterly reports, beginning March 31, 2025, on the number of individuals participating in the programs and other data. Provides that the reports shall be submitted to the General Assembly.
