California Senate Bill 468 Of 2013 To Implement Self-Direction For Regional Center Services

October 1, 2013

The legislation, Senate Bill (SB) 468, requires the California Department of Developmental Services (DDS) to oversee all 21 regional centers statewide as each implements voluntary self-directed developmental disability services over a three-year period. DDS must apply for federal funding for the program by December 31, 2014. The self- determination option will allow regional center consumers and their families access to an individual budget and to purchase a more flexible and individually tailored array of services and supports.
