Plain-language change summary

The recent change to SB 174 includes the addition of a new section that emphasizes the importance of self-direction and autonomy for individuals with physical and mental disabilities. This section outlines that these elements are crucial for enhancing quality of life, independence, and self-confidence while helping individuals protect themselves from abuse.
