Overview
This bill establishes the "Disability Mortality and Abuse Prevention Advisory Committee" within the Department of Human Services (DHS). The committee’s purpose is to critically review cases of adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities who have experienced abuse, neglect, or exploitation, or who have passed away, and to evaluate government responses to such cases. It will identify areas for improvement in preventing abuse, enhance accountability, and suggest measures to fortify reporting and investigatory processes, ultimately aiming to improve the experience for disability services clients and their families.
