Plain-language change summary

The recent amendments to HB 982 introduce a new requirement for the Department of Human Services to submit a report detailing how many children with developmental disabilities, severe mental illness, or emotional disorders could be accommodated in less restrictive settings compared to institutions. This change matters because it emphasizes finding alternative support systems for these children, potentially leading to better care and reduced costs for taxpayers. Additionally, the frequency of reporting has been modified to be bi-annual starting in 2010, ensuring ongoing oversight and attention to this important issue.
