I just got an email forwarded to me from Senator Beall’s office. The Senator has introduced a bill to increase funding levels for the regional center system. Be ready to advocate for passage of this bill.
Here’s the email:
Today, Senator Beall introduced SB X 2-1 in response to the developmental community service system crisis. He is joined by Senators Pavley and Monning who are principal coauthors.
Specifically, SB X2 1 mandates:
-
Provides a 10% increase in the funding paid to a regional center and purchase-of-service vendors;
-
Requires funding to enable the regional center and the regional center’s purchase-of-service vendors to fund certain costs related to minimum wage requirements; and
-
Requires the Department of Developmental Services to develop a 10-year financial sustainability plan.
