The resolution directs the Legislative Management of North Dakota to consider a study focused on inpatient and community-based services, as well as existing waivers for the treatment and support of individuals with neurological conditions who exhibit behavioral symptoms that may lead to incarceration, inappropriate placements, or homelessness. The Sixty-ninth Legislative Assembly acknowledges the significant impact that these behavioral symptoms have on individuals, often resulting in their placement in geriatric psychiatry facilities or state hospitals, and recognizes the importance of gathering and analyzing relevant data.

The study will involve a comprehensive analysis of current services, identification of service gaps, and a review of effective treatment and support options. It aims to provide recommendations for a waiver program, new levels of care, and appropriate placement guidelines to ensure that individuals with neurological conditions receive the necessary care and support. The findings and recommendations, along with any proposed legislation for implementation, are to be reported to the Seventieth Legislative Assembly.
