Bill Summary
By Representative Scarsdale of Pepperell, a petition of Margaret R. Scarsdale and Michael D. Brady that the Department of Developmental Services establish caseload ratios for certain human service coordinators. Children, Families and Persons with Disabilities.
AI Summary
This bill requires the Department of Developmental Services (DDS) to establish specific caseload ratios for different types of Human Service Coordinators by January 1, 2026. Specifically, the bill mandates that Human Service Coordinators A/B and D will have a maximum caseload of 55 clients per coordinator, while Human Service Coordinator C will have a maximum caseload of 6 clients per coordinator. The purpose of this legislation appears to be improving the quality of care and service delivery by limiting the number of cases each human service coordinator is responsible for, which could potentially allow for more personalized and attentive support for individuals with developmental disabilities. By setting these caseload ratios, the bill aims to ensure that coordinators are not overwhelmed and can provide more effective and comprehensive services to the clients they support.
