What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill increases the appropriation for the Department of Health Services to

make grants to independent living centers to provide independent living services to

individuals with disabilities. Current law defines an independent living center as

a community-based, nonresidential private nonprofit agency operated by

individuals with disabilities that provides independent living services to individuals

with disabilities. Under current law, DHS makes grants to independent living

centers, and independent living centers must provide services to individuals with

disabilities, including the following: 1) facilitating the transition of individuals with

significant disabilities from institutions to home and community-based residences;

2) providing assistance to individuals with significant disabilities who are at risk of

entering institutions so that the individuals may remain in the community; and 3)

facilitating the transition of youth who have significant disabilities to postsecondary

life.
