(a) Notwithstanding any other law, on or before October 1, 2015, the Department of Developmental Services shall submit to the Legislature a plan or plans to close one or more developmental centers. The plan or plans shall meet the requirements of subdivisions (c) to (g), inclusive of Section 4474.1, and shall be posted on the department’s Internet Web site. The department may develop community resources and otherwise engage in activities for transitioning developmental center residents into the community, and utilize funds allocated for that purpose as part of the annual Budget Act that is enacted at the 2015–16 Regular Session of the Legislature. Implementation of a plan following the 2015–16 fiscal year is contingent upon legislative approval of the plan as part of the legislative budget process during the 2016–17 Regular Session of the Legislature.
(b) A plan submitted to the Legislature pursuant to this section may subsequently be modified during the legislative review process. Modifications may include changes based on stakeholder and county-designated advisory group comments, as well as recommendations made by the county in which the developmental center is located.
(Added by Stats. 2015, Ch. 23, Sec. 6. (SB 82) Effective June 24, 2015.)
