An Act Concerning A Plan To Revise The Definition Of Intellectual Disability And The Establishment Of Working Groups On American Sign Language Education And Nonemergency Medical Transportation Reimbursement.

Also relevant to:Person with a disability

Became law

This already passed. Here's what you can still do.

1. Push for repeal or amendment

Legislative staff still count constituent contacts on enacted laws. A steady mail stream is what gets a bill onto the next session's repeal docket. Pick “Oppose” below and the message will frame the ask around repeal, amendment, or enforcement relief.

→ Write to your rep

3. Tell people the bill affects

Most people don't hear about a state-level bill until enforcement starts. A short note now (not a thread, just a link) gives the people most affected time to plan.

Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

To modify eligibility criteria for assistance programs administered by the Department of Developmental Services.
