Official summary
Legislative Counsel’s Digest (official, as of the latest version). Written by nonpartisan legislative staff; reproduced verbatim.
Existing law, the Lanterman Developmental Disabilities Services Act, requires the State Department of Developmental Services to contract with regional centers to provide services and supports to individuals with developmental disabilities and their families. Existing law requires the department, in collaboration with stakeholders, to identify a valid and reliable quality assurance instrument that assesses consumer and family satisfaction, provision of services in a linguistically and competent manner, and personal outcomes, as specified.
This bill would require the department, no later than July 1, 2026, to review, assess, and map all established and currently pending regional center and vendored service provider quality, performance, and outcome measures and surveys that are used within the California developmental services system, as specified. The bill would also require the department, on or before January 1, 2027, to consult with stakeholders and appropriate subject matter experts via a workgroup to develop a uniform set of quality, performance, and outcomes measures, a tracking mechanism to measure, compare, and track over time the consistency, equity, and accountability in promoting the choice, autonomy, and life quality of persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families, and performance indicators and benchmarks for regional centers, as specified. The bill would require the department to submit a related report to the Legislature no later than January 1, 2028.
