This bill requires the rulemaking for the lifespan waiver to be major substantive. Current law requires only the initial rulemaking to be major substantive. The bill also requires the Department of Health and Human Services to collect data related to unmet needs identified in individuals' personal plans and related to residential transitions between group homes, shared living and self-directed residential arrangements. The department is required to publish an annual report with the data on its publicly accessible website and submit the report to the joint standing committee of the Legislature having jurisdiction over health and human services matters.
