House Bill 918 mandates the Department of Public Health and Human Services to report quarterly to the health and human services budget committee on its progress in developing a plan to comply with the Olmstead decision, a landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling that emphasizes the rights of individuals with disabilities to live in community settings rather than institutions. This reporting requirement is set to take place during the interim period following the 69th legislative session, as outlined in Section 1 of the bill.

The bill also establishes an effective date of July 1, 2025, and includes a termination date of September 15, 2026, indicating the timeframe within which the department must fulfill its reporting obligations. This legislative action aims to ensure accountability and transparency in the implementation of policies that support the integration of individuals with disabilities into community life.
