AI Summary

This bill adds a new chapter to existing law to establish the Idaho Extended Employment Services (EES) Program. The program is aimed at increasing employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities who need ongoing support to maintain paid employment. The bill defines key terms, such as "disability," "extended employment services," and "participant," and outlines the program's eligibility requirements, covered services (individual community-supported employment, group community-based supported employment, and work services), provider approval and agreement process, and the board's authority to implement the program through rulemaking. The program is administered by the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation and is separate from, but can be collaborative with, federal programs.
