Forty-eight (48) states have established brain injury advisory boards or councils to facilitate planning, assessment, and improved service coordination for brain injury survivors. Twenty-four (24) of the states, including New Jersey and Maryland, have established such boards or councils by statute. The formal establishment and active operation of an interdisciplinary state board or council is often a prerequisite for qualifying for federal brain injury funds. The Delaware State Council for Persons with Disabilities has informally maintained a 24-member brain injury committee since 2003. This bill would amend the Council’s enabling statute to confirm its status as the State’s primary brain injury council, clarify the role and membership of its brain injury committee, and enhance prospects for acquiring competitive grant funds.

An Act To Amend Title 29 Of The Delaware Code Relating To The State Council For Persons With Disabilities.
