MODERATE

The bill was amended to shift its primary focus from requiring a study of rate and wage recommendations to mandating automatic inflation adjustments for payments to providers of services for individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities. The original study requirement and sunset provision were removed from the main text, though they remain in the summary as bracketed existing law. The amendment adds specific definitions for key terms and establishes a clear mechanism for annual payment increases based on the Consumer Price Index.

Scope change

The bill's scope changed from a temporary study requirement with a sunset date to a permanent, ongoing requirement for inflation-adjusted payments to direct support professionals.

REQUIREMENT

The requirement for the Department of Human Services to study rate and wage recommendations was removed from the main body of the bill and replaced with a mandate to adjust payments for inflation.

DEFINITION

New definitions were added for 'community living support', 'day support activities', 'direct support professional', 'employment services', 'provider agency', 'residential training facility', 'residential training home', and 'supported living services'.

FISCAL

The bill now requires the Department of Human Services to adjust contract payments for inflation annually based on the U.S. City Average Consumer Price Index, effective July 1 of each year.

TIMELINE

The sunset provision that would have ended the bill's requirements on January 2, 2027, was removed from the main text.

The report submission deadline was changed from September 15, 2026 to April 30 of each year for calculating inflation adjustments.
