What’s in it
This bill relates to student resources for the submission of applications for home and community-based services waivers by the parents or guardians of students enrolled in school districts, accredited nonpublic schools, charter schools, or innovation zone schools. Home and community-based services waivers are Medicaid programs in which the federal government has set aside rules in order to help people stay in their own homes or communities while receiving services rather than receiving such services in an institutional setting.
Read the full explanation
The bill requires the director of the department of education to develop and distribute to school districts, accredited nonpublic schools, charter schools, innovation zone schools, and area education agencies resources that will allow employees to furnish testing services to students to assist the parents or guardians of such students in submitting an application for home and community-based services waivers to the department of health and human services. The bill authorizes area education agencies to furnish such testing services.
