SB 1361 - Under this act, the county developmental disability resource board tax levies shall be collected for the purpose of establishing and maintaining the county or city sheltered workshop, residence, facility, related services, or any other combination thereof. Such funds shall only be expended upon board approval for the operations and maintenance of sheltered workshops that are compliant with board funding request requirements. No board of directors shall require additional certifications or requirements for a compliant and credentialed applicant that are contrary to, or not currently required by, rules and standards developed and adopted by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education for the operation of a sheltered workshop. This act shall not be construed to prohibit board expenditures from being used for the purpose of residence, facility, related services, or any combination thereof in addition to using board expenditures for the establishment or maintenance of the county or city sheltered workshop. This act is identical to HB 1436 (2024).
