Impact: Ongoing costs, likely around $500,000 per year for
several years, for an independent contractor to undertake the
required study (General Fund and federal funds). Under the bill,
the contractor would be required to conduct interviews with
former developmental center residents and family members and
review information held by the Department to assess former

requirement for in-person interviews, the contractor will also
need to review data from the Department and regional centers,
analyze the collected data, and report to the Department.
Author
Amendments: Clarify that existing data sources can be used to
develop the study.
Committee
Amendments: Specify that the study shall continue until two
years after the last resident has moved out of the developmental
centers.
