AN ACT REQUIRING A STUDY REGARDING THE DEFINITION OF "INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY".
This bill requires the Department of Developmental Services to study whether the legal definition of "intellectual disability" should be updated to consider factors beyond IQ scores. It directs the department to explore alternative methods for determining intellectual disability, without mandating any specific changes. The study is limited to examining the definition itself, not implementing new policies or services. This is a procedural requirement for research, not a direct policy change affecting individuals or providers.
