AI Summary

This bill requires the California Workforce Development Board to conduct a comprehensive review of workforce shortages in the developmental services system by January 1, 2027. The board must research and produce a report for the Governor and Legislature that identifies the most effective strategies to address workforce gaps in developmental services. Before drafting the report, the board must seek input from a wide range of stakeholders, including people with developmental disabilities, their families, direct support professionals, service providers, regional center agencies, local workforce development boards, and subject matter experts. The State Department of Developmental Services will provide staff support and expertise to help the board complete this task, including identifying experts who understand workforce challenges affecting individuals served under the Lanterman Developmental Disabilities Services Act and the California Early Intervention Services Act. The report must comply with government reporting guidelines, and the bill's provisions will automatically expire on January 1, 2028, ensuring a time-limited, focused approach to examining and addressing developmental services workforce challenges in California.
