SUMMARY

 

Synopsis of HGUAC Amendment

 

The House Government and Urban Affairs Committee amendment increases the membership on the Commission on Disability from 13 to 15.  The amendment also names the Secretary of Children Youth and Families Department and the director of the State Agency on Aging as Commission members and consequently increases the non-governor appointees from 4 to 6.

 

Synopsis of Original Bill

 

Senate Bill 177 cleans up language in Section 28-10-1.  The most apparent change is the substitution through out the statute of Commission on Disability for Committee on the Concerns of the Handicapped.  In addition, wording for the following committee (commission) members are changed.

  • Director of the division of vocational rehabilitation of the department of education is changed to director of the vocational rehabilitation division of the public education department;
  • Director of employment services division of the human services department is changed to the secretary of labor or his designee;

 

 

 

 

 

  • Director of the behavioral health services division of the department of health and environment is changed to the director of the behavioral health services of the division of the department of health, and
  • Director of the social services division of the human services department is changed to secretary of human services or his designee.  Also, the word handicapped is changed to disability.
