AI Summary

This bill officially renames several state residential facilities for individuals with developmental disabilities, changing their designations from "school" to "residential habilitation center" to better reflect their current purpose of providing support services rather than educational instruction. Specifically, Fircrest School will become Fircrest Residential Habilitation Center, and Rainier School will become Rainier Residential Habilitation Center, while Lakeland Village will continue to be known as Lakeland Village Residential Habilitation Center, and references to the former Interlake School will now be to Interlake Residential Habilitation Center. The bill amends various existing state laws to reflect these name changes and clarifies that these renamings do not alter the facilities' operations, purposes, or funding.
