Bill > S3864

This bill allows families or guardians of individuals up to 21 years old with developmental disabilities who are receiving family support services to save unused after-school care service hours for use during holidays and weekends. Specifically, the bill requires the Division of Children's System of Care in the Department of Children and Families to permit individuals receiving services from a contracted agency to set aside unused "agency-after school care" hours, which are defined as social and recreational experiences provided by a community-based agency outside the individual's home during after-school hours. The bill defines the age range as up to 21 years old, and it instructs the Department of Children and Families to create the necessary rules and regulations to implement this policy. The legislation aims to provide more flexibility for families in using allocated support service hours, recognizing that after-school care needs may vary during different times of the year.
