A bill aimed at protecting people with disabilities from abuse and neglect is now law.

Senate Bill 670 creates a developmental services oversight commission responsible for reviewing the state-regulated, taxpayer-funded care system for people with disabilities. The commission will be made up of lawmakers, state officials, private providers, advocates, parents of people with disabilities, and people with disabilities themselves. It will be responsible for reviewing performance measures, licensing and certification data, and best practices, and suggesting ways to improve the system.
