 Class Action
Settlement Agreement in the United States District Court for the
District of Montana
Helena Division
Plaintiffs (Travis, D.
et al.) filed a Class Action Complaint in the United States
District Court of Montana on August 23, 1996, and eventually filed
a Second Amended Class Action Complaint (Complaint) in November
2001. The Complaint alleged violations of the federal Medicaid
Act, the Rehabilitation Act, the Americans With Disabilities Act,
corresponding federal regulations, the Fourteenth Amendment to the
United States Constitution (violations of the Due Process and
Equal Protection clauses), including alleged deprivations of
federal rights pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 1983, by the State of
Montana and various officers, employees, and institutions of the
State of Montana. The Complaint generally challenges the State of
Montana's provision of services to certain persons with
developmental disabilities, and in particular focused upon the
State of Montana's provision of community services and
"intermediate care facility" institutional services to
persons with developmental disabilities.
