Bill > HB1470

This bill amends an existing law related to the Developmental Disabilities Administration's (DDA) no-paid services caseload, which refers to a list of individuals eligible for services but currently not receiving paid support. The bill maintains the requirement for the department to hire two permanent, full-time employees dedicated to reviewing and maintaining the no-paid services caseload. These employees will be responsible for updating the list to accurately reflect the current number of eligible individuals and identifying those interested in receiving paid services from the DDA, either immediately or within the next year. Beginning December 1, 2022, the department must annually report this information to the governor and relevant legislative committees. Notably, the bill removes previous language describing case resource management services and the specific duties of case resource managers, streamlining the existing statute and focusing on tracking and reporting the no-paid services caseload.
