What We Need

This is last chance to get HB 4571 scheduled for a hearing. HB 4571 would create a new Statewide Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Coordinating Council that provides input and reports on the IDD Strategic Plan. The plan address gaps across the IDD system to support high-quality, cost-effective services to Texans with IDD, in the most integrated setting appropriate to the individual.
