AI Summary
This bill provides ongoing funding of $50,000 per fiscal year (2025-26 and 2026-27) from the General Fund to the Disability Rights Center, also known as Disability Rights Maine, to support advocacy services specifically for persons with intellectual disabilities. The funding is designed to ensure continued support and representation for a vulnerable population, helping to protect their rights and provide necessary assistance.
