2013 Revised Code of Washington
Title 71A - DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES
71A.10 General provisions.
71A.10.011 Intent -- 1995 c 383.


WA Rev Code § 71A.10.011 (2013) What's This?

RCW 71A.10.011 Intent — 1995 c 383.

The legislature recognizes that the emphasis of state developmental disability services is shifting from institutional-based care to community services in an effort to increase the personal and social independence and fulfillment of persons with developmental disabilities, consistent with state policy as expressed in RCW 71A.10.015. It is the intent of the legislature that financial savings achieved from program reductions and efficiencies within the developmental disabilities program shall be redirected within the program to provide public or private community-based services for eligible persons who would otherwise be unidentified or unserved.

[1995 c 383 § 1.]
