This resolution establishes a special legislative commission tasked with drafting an Olmstead Plan for Rhode Island, which aims to integrate individuals with disabilities into the community. The commission will consist of 28 members, including legislators, directors or designees from various state departments, and representatives from disability advocacy organizations, as well as four individuals who have lived with disabilities. The commission is to conduct a statewide assessment and gather substantial community input to create a comprehensive, data-driven, and renewable 5-year "Integration for All" Olmstead Plan. This plan will include goals for housing options, community services, and resources for persons with disabilities, along with annual updates and a five-year reassessment to ensure the plan remains current and effective.

The commission is to be appointed by July 15, 2023, and will organize to select two co-chairpersons from among the legislators. Members will serve without compensation, and state departments and agencies are required to provide necessary information to facilitate the commission's work. The commission will be provided with suitable quarters by the Joint Committee on Legislative Services. The draft of the proposed Olmstead Plan must be delivered to the General Assembly by January 3, 2024, for review and adoption, and the commission's mandate will expire on July 1, 2024. The resolution's purpose is to create a commission to write an Olmstead Plan for Rhode Island, with a report due back to the General Assembly by January 3, 2024.
