The resolution proposes an interim study to evaluate Nebraska's statutes and processes related to developmental disabilities and the waivers for the aged and disabled. The study aims to assess recent eligibility requirements and caps on waivers managed by the Department of Health and Human Services, the assessment tools used to determine the needs of individuals with developmental disabilities, and the potential benefits of transitioning to a section 1634 status under the Social Security Act for Medicaid eligibility. Additionally, it will explore the use of algorithm-based assessment processes for evaluating disabilities and medical needs.

The Health and Human Services Committee of the Nebraska Legislature is tasked with conducting this interim study. Upon completion, the committee is required to report its findings and recommendations to the Legislative Council or the Legislature, ensuring that the insights gained from the study can inform future legislative actions and improvements in the support for individuals with developmental disabilities.
