Bill Summary

Allows certain persons with developmental disabilities 21 years of age and older to simultaneously participate in adult day and employment programs.

AI Summary

This bill allows individuals with developmental disabilities who are 21 years of age or older to participate in both an adult day program and an employment program simultaneously, provided they meet the eligibility requirements for both and their individualized service plan, which is a personalized plan outlining the services and supports a person receives, documents this authorization. This change specifically applies to individuals transitioning from services provided by the Division of Children's System of Care to those from the Division of Developmental Disabilities. The bill defines a "day program" as one certified to offer day habilitation services or sheltered workshops, and an "employment program" as a program for individuals whose disabilities necessitate sheltered employment after vocational training.
