Bill Summary
Repealing provisions relating to a program for the prevention and treatment of severe self-injurious behavior; revising the allocations methodology that the agency is required to use to develop each client's iBudget; establishing The Arc Dental Program in the Agency for Persons with Disabilities; providing for annual reviews for persons involuntarily committed to residential services, etc.
AI Summary
This bill makes several changes to the Agency for Persons with Disabilities (APD) operations, including repealing a program for severe self-injurious behavior, revising how client budgets (iBudgets) are calculated using a mathematical formula called an "algorithm" and an "allocation methodology" to ensure fair distribution of funds based on need, and establishing The Arc Dental Program within the APD to improve access to dental care for individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities. It also introduces annual reviews for individuals involuntarily committed to residential services to ensure their continued need and appropriate placement, and clarifies definitions within the agency's governing statutes. Additionally, the bill modifies the priority order for clients waiting for waiver services, particularly for those transitioning from the child welfare system, and allows for the purchase of services rather than direct provision by the agency when more cost-efficient. It also updates references to definitions of various developmental disabilities across several statutes.
