Prioritizes enrollment in developmental disabilities services for specific populations.

The bill mandates the Washington State Developmental Disabilities Administration to prioritize enrollment in home and community-based services for certain populations, including those aged 45 and older, those recently hospitalized without a safe discharge plan, and those at immediate risk of institutionalization. It also requires the administration to collect and publish data on service enrollment and waitlists. This aims to strategically intervene during crises to prevent costly hospital stays and institutionalization.
