House Resolution No. by Representative Butler directs the Office for Citizens with Developmental Disabilities to extend its Family Flexible Fund and waiver provisions in emergency situations through administrative or rulemaking authority as needed. The resolution highlights the office's role as the primary provider of services for individuals with developmental disabilities, including assessments for eligibility and monthly stipends to families of eligible individuals. It emphasizes the importance of these provisions in alleviating the financial burdens families face when caring for those with severe or profound developmental disabilities.

The resolution calls for the establishment of expedited processes for accessing the Family Flexible Fund and waiver programs in extraordinary circumstances by April 1, 2025. This initiative aims to ensure that families are not unduly burdened by the expiration of these provisions, thereby enhancing support for those in need. A copy of the resolution will be sent to the assistant secretary of the Office for Citizens with Developmental Disabilities and the secretary of the Louisiana Department of Health to facilitate implementation.
