This bill amends existing legislation to address various oversights, inconsistencies, ambiguities, unintended results, and technical errors. Specifically, it revises Laws 2024, chapter 79, article 1, section 25, subdivision 3, to clarify the establishment of state-operated, community-based programs. The amendment includes a new definition of the role of state-operated services, specifically stating that it must be framed within a comprehensive system of services for persons with developmental disabilities, replacing the previous term "disability."
Additionally, the bill introduces effective dates for the amendments, stating that the changes will take effect on July 1, 2024, and that each section of the act will be effective at the time the provision being corrected is effective, unless otherwise specified. This ensures that the legislative corrections are timely and aligned with the existing legal framework.
