          STAFF COMMENTS: SUSPENSE FILE.
          
          This bill would require regional centers, in developing,  
          reviewing, or modifying a consumer's individual program plan  
          (IPP) or individualized family service plan (IFSP) to follow all  
          procedures established in the Lanterman Developmental  
          Disabilities Services Act or the California Early Intervention  
          Services Act. 

          Since this bill would require RCs to follow current law, costs  
          would be minor and absorbable at the most.

          DDS contracts with 21 non-profit regional centers to provide  
          services to approximately 245,000 consumers. Regional centers  
          (RCs) create service plans, also know as IPPs and IFSPs, for  










          individual consumers that outline goals and the services  
          required to help a consumer meet those goals.
