Apr 17, 2026

Summary

The bill amends the Developmental Disability and Mental Disability Services Act to broaden what counts as an adult’s own home, allowing residence with up to five unrelated adults in certain non‑licensed settings or locally licensed facilities. It applies to adults with severe autism, severe mental illness, severe or profound intellectual disability, or severe multiple impairments who receive home‑based services. The change aims to let more adults qualify for those services without needing a fully licensed facility.
