Bill > LB737

This bill amends existing Nebraska law to require a joint public hearing by the Health and Human Services Committee and the Urban Affairs Committee of the Legislature to evaluate the progress of the Olmstead plan, which is a comprehensive strategic plan developed to ensure individuals with disabilities receive services in the most integrated community-based settings, as mandated by the Olmstead decision. The hearing, to be held by October 1st each year, will assess the plan's progress in areas such as housing, employment, education, community supports, and transportation, and will also explore potential legislative solutions, with a report of findings submitted to the Clerk of the Legislature by December 31st annually. The bill also repeals the original section of law, indicating a complete replacement of the existing provisions related to this matter.
