Summary
The Department of Health & Social Services has administered a highly successful attendant services program since enactment of enabling legislation in 2001. This bill is the product of a committee comprised of representatives of the Department, the State Council for Persons with Disabilities, and non-profit agencies which reached consensus on recommended revisions to the 14 year old law. The bill: 1) reorganizes covered services under a single eligibility category; 2) encourages providers to promote participant self-direction of services; 3) expands the scope of Department access to background check registries to screen attendants; and 4) enhances the authorized scope of implementing regulations.
Title
An Act To Amend Title 16 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Community-based Attendant Services.
