AI Summary
This bill requires the Developmental Disabilities Advisory Council to publish a comprehensive summary of its activities annually on the website of the Office for People with Developmental Disabilities, ensuring the information is presented in an accessible format. This replaces a previous requirement for the council to submit a yearly report to legislative leaders. The summary must include actions taken to promote public understanding of developmental disabilities, recommendations made to the commissioner regarding state priorities and goals for services, and other council activities. The "Office for People with Developmental Disabilities" is a state agency focused on supporting individuals with developmental disabilities, and "developmental disabilities" refers to conditions that occur before adulthood and significantly impact a person's ability to learn, communicate, and function in daily life.
