AI Summary

This bill establishes a special commission to investigate and make legislative recommendations on the adequacy and effectiveness of laws and regulations governing the right to effective treatment and the use of applied behavior analysis and behavior modification techniques across all public agencies in the Commonwealth or private agencies receiving public funding or subsidy. The commission will examine the scope of permissible techniques, the classification system of behavioral interventions, the format and content of behavioral plans, and the policies and procedures governing the development, review, approval, implementation, monitoring, and review of behavior plans. The commission will also determine whether agencies licensed or regulated by multiple state agencies are subjected to conflicting statutes and regulations regarding the use of applied behavior analysis and behavior modification procedures, and recommend a unified set of standards. Additionally, the commission will review and evaluate the status and appropriateness of a sample of current behavioral plans within state agencies and contracted providers.
