AI Summary

This bill addresses the closure of two residential habilitation centers (Yakima Valley school and Rainier school) by June 30, 2027, with a carefully planned approach to transitioning residents. The legislation emphasizes providing a balanced range of services for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, focusing on individual dignity, autonomy, and self-determination. The bill requires the Department of Social and Health Services to halt new admissions to these centers (except for short-term respite or crisis stabilization), and mandates a comprehensive transition process that prioritizes resident choice, individual preferences, and medical needs. The department must offer meaningful alternative placements, including state-operated living alternatives, supported living programs, or spaces in other residential habilitation centers, while also providing support for employees through job opportunities in other state facilities. The bill includes provisions for individualized transition planning, close coordination with stakeholders, covering all necessary transition expenses, and implementing robust oversight to ensure smooth and compassionate relocation of residents. After closure, the Yakima Valley school facility will be repurposed to operate crisis stabilization and limited respite beds as needed. The legislation reflects a thoughtful approach to deinstitutionalization, aiming to provide more personalized and community-integrated support for individuals with developmental disabilities.
