This bill mandates that the Division of Children's System of Care (DCSOC) within the Department of Children and Families allows families or guardians of individuals aged 19 to 21 with developmental disabilities to set aside any unused agency-after school care service hours for use during holiday and weekend hours. This provision applies once the individual has been authorized to receive services from an agency contracted with the DCSOC for family support services. The bill defines "agency-after school care" as social and recreational experiences provided by a community-based agency during after school hours outside the individual's home.
To implement this act, the Department of Children and Families is required to establish rules and regulations in accordance with the "Administrative Procedure Act." The bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
