AI Summary
This bill requires the Division of Developmental Disabilities to develop guidelines for placing individuals with developmental disabilities in two types of group homes: Level 1 for those with periodic or minimal challenging behaviors, and Level 2 for those with persistent challenging behaviors that cannot be safely managed in a less intensive setting. The bill also outlines the criteria for transitioning individuals between these levels of group homes, and requires Level 2 group homes to provide services to support reintegration into less restrictive placements. The key terms are "Level 1 group home," "Level 2 group home," and "challenging behavior," which are defined in the bill.
