Bill > SB189

This bill clarifies the definition of "intellectual and developmental disability" in the Arkansas Code. It amends the existing definition to specify that the disability must be chronic and diagnoses must be established by medical professionals. The bill also defines "individual with intellectual and developmental disabilities" and aligns the definition of "intellectual and developmental disability" across different sections of the code. The key changes are the addition of specific diagnostic criteria and the clarification that the disability must be chronic and originate before the individual turns 22 years old.
