SB 6751-S - DIGEST

(DIGEST AS ENACTED)

     Provides for a choice of service and residential options for citizens with developmental disabilities.

     Supports the existence of a complete spectrum of options, including in-home services, community support services, and residential habilitation centers.

     Directs the department to conduct an analysis whereby it identifies all persons with developmental disabilities who are eligible for services under Title 71A RCW, and whether they are served, unserved, or underserved.

     Declares that the assessment data will not be used to determine or allocate services for individual people.  It will be used by the department, with the participation of the developmental disabilities stakeholder work group, to develop a long-term strategic plan.
