Bill Summary
Urges full restoration of all eliminated direct support professionals (DSP) hours in the final FY26 State budget to protect the services individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities (I/DD) depend on.
AI Summary
This resolution urges the full restoration of direct support professional (DSP) hours that were proposed to be eliminated in the fiscal year 2026 state budget. The resolution highlights the critical role of DSPs in supporting individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) living in Community Integrated Living Arrangements (CILAs), or group homes, which serve nearly 9,823 adults across Illinois. The proposed budget cut would reduce services for 24-hour CILA residents by approximately 90 hours per year, potentially threatening care quality, community stability, and compliance with federal home and community-based services regulations. The resolution emphasizes that these proposed cuts contradict prior agreements and risk undermining the state's legal obligations under the Ligas Consent Decree, which requires expanded access to community-based services. By urging the restoration of these DSP hours, the resolution aims to ensure high-quality services and supports for adults with I/DD and maintain a healthy community system that meets both federal and state guidelines. The resolution calls for delivering copies of this urging to key state officials, including the Governor, Senate President, House Speaker, and the Illinois Department of Human Services Division of Developmental Disabilities.
