Relating to the establishment of the task force on disability policy.

SB 2397 establishes a 17-member task force on disability policy in Texas to develop a comprehensive 10-year state plan for disability services. The task force, appointed by the governor with bipartisan representation, includes members with lived disability experience, healthcare professionals, advocacy group representatives, and policy experts. It will form subcommittees to address specific areas like healthcare, education, mental health, and transitional care, and must submit annual reports with recommendations. This bill directly affects state agencies and future disability policy development, requiring the task force to identify resource redundancies, service disparities, and cost-effective solutions to improve care quality and dignity for Texans with disabilities.
