Plain-language change summary

The updated bill has increased the number of family members who can serve on the select committee from three to four, and it now allows for three developmental disability self-advocates to be appointed instead of just one. This change is important because it brings more diverse perspectives from families and individuals with developmental disabilities into the discussions, which could lead to better recommendations and support for employment services. Additionally, the bill maintains public access to meetings and ensures that the committee will report on its findings by the end of the year, promoting transparency and accountability.
