AN ACT RELATING TO BEHAVIORAL HEALTHCARE, DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES AND HOSPITALS -- QUALITY SELF-DIRECTED SUPPORTS ACT OF 2026

Summary

The Quality Self‑Directed Supports Act creates a program for Medicaid‑eligible adults with developmental disabilities to choose and employ their own personal care workers, called self‑directed direct support professionals. The state will set wage ranges for these workers, require certain training and a registry, and allow collective bargaining through a designated provider representative. Participants may still use agency employees for personal care if they prefer.
