Bill Summary

This bill would transfer the responsibility for providing services to individuals aged 21-29 with developmental disabilities from the Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD) in the Department of Human Services to the Children's System of Care (CSOC) in the Department of Children and Families. Current law provides for individuals with developmental disabilities who are eligible to receive functional services to receive services through the CSOC until age 21, at which time they transition to receiving services from DDD. The bill would delay the transition until age 30.
