Summary
The bill bars the Department of Human Services from reducing the number of beds in state-operated facilities for people with developmental disabilities, except to protect health or safety. It also requires the department, when restructuring, to try to move any lost beds to minimum‑security psychiatric or forensic step‑down units. The governor can still issue emergency orders for safety reasons.
