A. The developmental disabilities planning council shall coordinate, review and comment upon plans for services to persons with developmental disabilities developed by all major state agencies providing or funding services to persons with developmental disabilities based, to the greatest extent possible, upon the most recent needs assessment completed pursuant to Section 7 [28-16A-7 NMSA 1978] of the Developmental Disabilities Act.
B. The department of health, the human services department, the state department of public education, the vocational rehabilitation division of the state department of public education, the children, youth and families department, the New Mexico school for the visually handicapped and the New Mexico school for the deaf shall each submit a plan for support and services for persons with developmental and other disabilities within a reasonable time to allow for meaningful coordination, review and comment by the developmental disabilities planning council.
C. Each plan shall define and provide for the support and services that are required within the scope of each respective agency's applicable federal and state laws and regulations. The goal of each plan is to enable persons with developmental disabilities to maximize their potential, live as independently as possible in their own homes and communities and achieve productive lives through involvement in inclusive service settings.
