Amends definition of developmental disability in Massachusetts law.

The bill amends the definition of "person with a developmental disability" in Massachusetts law. It specifies that such a person is either someone aged 5 or older with a severe, chronic disability that is attributable to a mental or physical impairment, manifested before age 22, and likely to continue indefinitely, resulting in substantial function limitations in three or more major life activities. Alternatively, it includes individuals under age 5 with a substantial developmental delay or specific condition that will likely result in a developmental disability without services.
