AI Summary

This bill establishes a system to track the unmet service needs of individuals with developmental disabilities in Massachusetts by creating a central electronic database. This database, which will use open-source software, will be managed by the Office of Disabilities and Community Services within the Executive Office of Health and Human Services. Data for the database will be submitted annually by agencies such as the Massachusetts Department of Developmental Services, the Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission, the Massachusetts Commission for the Blind, and the Massachusetts Commission for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. These agencies will report on the number of individuals with developmental disabilities who apply for services, those who receive services, and those who apply but are unsuccessful. The Office of Disabilities and Community Services will then input this information into the database and produce annual reports that will be publicly accessible online.
