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 replacing "developmental disabilities administration" and "aging and long-term support administration" with more current or appropriate designations like "home and community living administration" or specific components of DSHS that provide services to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The bill also clarifies language related to the office of public defense, the administration of services for individuals with developmental disabilities, and the responsibilities of various departments and agencies involved in social and health services, ensuring that the Revised Code of Washington accurately reflects the current organizational structure and terminology of DSHS.
