Requires Director of Division of Developmental Disabilities to align rates for self-directed employees with maximum service provider rates.

Summary

The bill orders the Director of the Division of Developmental Disabilities to set the maximum hourly pay for self‑directed employees at the same level as the rates paid to contracted service providers for identical services, duration, and level of care. It also directs the Commissioner of Human Services to seek any needed Medicaid plan changes and to adopt rules to implement the rate parity. This would raise the wage ceiling for workers hired directly by individuals receiving services, aligning it with provider rates.
