AI Summary

This bill establishes a system for tracking the unmet service needs of individuals with developmental disabilities in Massachusetts. The system will consist of a central electronic database, operated and maintained by the Office of Disabilities and Community Services at the Executive Office of Health and Human Services. The database will include data from various state agencies, such as the Department of Developmental Services, the Rehabilitation Commission, the Commission for the Blind, and the Commission for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. These agencies will submit annual reports on the number of individuals with developmental disabilities who apply for services, receive services, and are unsuccessful in receiving services. The Office of Disabilities and Community Services will then enter this data into the database and generate annual reports to be made available to the public.
