AI Summary
This bill makes technical corrections to state law to align terminology with recent reorganizations within the Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS). It updates references to various administrations and divisions within DSHS, such as the "developmental disabilities administration" and the "aging and long-term support administration," to reflect their current organizational structure and names, like "home and community living administration" or specific components within DSHS that provide services to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. These changes ensure that legal references accurately reflect the department's current operations and responsibilities across a wide range of programs, including those related to child welfare, mental health, developmental disabilities, long-term care, and public assistance.
