Federal Rehabilitation Act. Amends certain language in the Code of Virginia to conform to the federal Rehabilitation Act. The bill adds to the services to be provided through grants or contracts with centers for independent living to include services that (i) facilitate the transition of individuals with significant disabilities from nursing homes and other institutions to home and community-based residences, (ii) provide assistance to individuals with significant disabilities who are at risk of entering institutions so that the individuals may remain in the community, and (iii) facilitate the transition of youth with significant disabilities, who were eligible for individualized education programs under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act or who have completed their secondary education, to post-secondary life. The bill also requires that individualized plans for employment for recipients of vocational rehabilitation services provided or funded by the Department for Aging and Rehabilitative Services (DARS) be developed as soon as possible, but not later than 90 days after the due date of the determination of eligibility. The bill also repeals a section of the Code of Virginia that lists certain services employers may provide through projects with DARS designed to provide vocational rehabilitation in realistic employment settings and to provide on-the-job training for persons with disabilities.

Federal Rehabilitation Act and Older Americans Act; amends certain language in Code.
