Bill > SR746

This resolution recognizes March 18, 2026, as Self-Direction Day, celebrating a model of home and community-based services (HCBS) that empowers individuals, particularly those with disabilities, to choose how, when, and from whom they receive support to live independently in their communities. Self-direction shifts control over services and staffing to the individual, aiming to maximize their independence, improve satisfaction, enhance quality of life, and potentially reduce costs and institutionalization, offering a flexible alternative to traditional service systems. The resolution also directs the Secretary of the Senate to distribute copies of this recognition to the public and the press.
