AN ACT ESTABLISHING A TASK FORCE TO EVALUATE THE CREATION OF AN OVERSIGHT FRAMEWORK FOR SERVICES TO CHILDREN WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER.

SB 771 creates a task force to examine whether a new oversight system is needed for services supporting children with autism spectrum disorder. The task force will specifically review current gaps in regulations, background checks, and coordination between state agencies. It directly affects children with autism, their families, and the service providers and agencies delivering care. The bill does not create new rules itself but will evaluate options to improve the safety and quality of existing services.
