An Act Regarding Access to Behavioral Health Supports for Adults with Certain Disabilities

This bill amends the law governing access to behavioral health supports for adults with an intellectual disability or autism by replacing a complex multiparty review process with a clinical review requirement. It also removes the authority to use restraints on adults except as an emergency short-term step to protect the adult from imminent injury to that adult or others.
