BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:
Sec. 1. RCW 71A.10.015 and 1988 c 176 s 101 are each amended to read as follows:
The legislature recognizes the capacity of all
persons, including those with developmental disabilities, to be personally and
socially productive. The legislature ((further)) recognizes the state's
obligation to provide aid to persons with developmental disabilities through a
uniform, coordinated system of ((services)) supports to enable
them to achieve a greater measure of independence and fulfillment and to enjoy
all rights and privileges under the Constitution and laws of the United States
and the state of Washington. The legislature further finds that many
changes are taking place in society related to persons with disabilities,
changes that challenge traditionally held beliefs in how best to assist persons
with disabilities in leading productive lives and the extent to which persons
with developmental disabilities can lead productive, independent lives.
These challenges require a fundamental rethinking of how best to design and implement ways to assist the developmentally disabled in leading as independent a life as possible. Fundamental to this new thinking is the belief that the individual, the individual's family, and his or her community are the best persons and the best place to make decisions about the future. Supports must be planned for, designed, and delivered as close to the individual and his or her family as possible. The legislature finds that a community-based, local support delivery system founded on counties or groups of counties should be the basis of the developmental disabilities delivery system.
To further this goal and to reduce administrative duplication and cost, counties are encouraged to establish local support networks, that integrate planning, administration, and support delivery duties under RCW 71A.12.040.
Further, it is the intent of the legislature to provide a coordinated system of supports for all long-term care human services. To this end, counties are encouraged to integrate developmental disability support systems into existing systems serving the aged, mentally ill, chemically dependent, or others with long-term care needs.
It is the policy of the legislature that the majority of supports provided for persons with developmental disabilities be provided in their homes or communities. In order to implement this policy, the legislature intends to increase the proportion of the total appropriation related to support for the developmentally disabled in settings other than residential habilitation center settings.
Sec. 2. RCW 71A.10.020 and 1988 c 176 s 102 are each amended to read as follows:

has continued or can be expected to continue indefinitely, and which
