AI Summary

This bill requires the Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS) to conduct a comprehensive study on the current process of transitioning individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities from youth residential settings to adult residential settings. The department is directed to examine existing laws and rules governing this transition and prepare a detailed report, which may include legislative recommendations to improve the transition process. The report must be submitted to the interim legislative committees focused on human services by September 15, 2026, and the study itself will automatically expire on January 2, 2027. This targeted research aims to identify potential gaps or challenges in helping young people with developmental disabilities successfully move from youth-focused residential care to adult residential environments, with the ultimate goal of enhancing support systems and transition services for this population.
