Senate Bill 2362, also known as House Bill 2188, aims to enhance the support and oversight for children with intellectual or developmental disabilities (I/DD) who are in state custody or at risk of entering state custody. The bill mandates the Department of Children's Services to enter into an interagency agreement with the Department of Disability and Aging (DDA) to leverage DDA's expertise in evaluating services, identifying appropriate placements, and maintaining oversight of I/DD services. Key provisions include the requirement for service evaluations, placement recommendations, oversight of service quality, training for staff, and disability-specific care coordination.

Additionally, the bill requires the Department of Children's Services to submit an annual report starting January 1, 2027, detailing compliance with the outlined provisions. This report will include data on referrals to DDA, evaluations conducted, placement definitions, oversight findings, training status, and care coordination services. The bill emphasizes accountability and quality in the care provided to children with I/DD, ensuring that they receive the necessary support and services while in state custody.
