AI Summary

This bill seeks to repeal the community protection program, which was a specific service for clients of the developmental disabilities administration. The legislation aims to end this program by December 31, 2025, with the intent of allowing clients to access alternative, potentially less restrictive service options. The bill removes all existing statutory references to the community protection program, specifically repealing eight related sections of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW). The Department of Social and Health Services is required to develop and implement a transition plan to move all current participants in the program into other services or programs by the end of 2025. The bill emphasizes that the repeal is not intended to reduce supportive services for developmental disabilities administration clients, but rather to provide more flexible service alternatives. Key sections of the law are amended to remove mentions of the community protection program, and the changes will take effect on January 1, 2026, giving the state time to prepare for and implement the transition.
