The secretaries of the Cabinet for Health and Family Services and the Education
and Workforce Development Cabinet and the chief state school officer shall jointly
develop and implement a statewide plan, with adequate opportunity for public
comment, to serve all persons with developmental disabilities not otherwise entitled
to and receiving the same services under another state or federal act, which will
include provisions for:
(a) Identification and prompt and adequate interdisciplinary assessment;
(b) Case management services; and
(c) Services and residential alternatives as defined by this chapter in the least
restrictive, individually appropriate environment.
The first plan and annual updates shall be presented to the Legislative Research
Commission which shall refer it to an appropriate committee for review and
comment.
The plan shall include:
(a) The number of institution residents on waiting lists for placement in the
community;
(b) The number of persons outside institutions on waiting lists for placement in
the institution;
(c) The number of persons for whom no placement is made nor services provided
because of a lack of community resources;
(d) The number, type, nature, and cost of services necessary for placement to
occur;
(e) The status of compliance with the plan;
(f) The cabinets' specific efforts to increase residential and institutional services
and documentation of the success of these efforts; and

this chapter.
