is to enable individuals to acquire or maintain skills to live independently or to achieve
greater independence within his/her home.
SDRC staff met with representatives of vendored ILS agencies to discuss the new legislation,
review draft changes to SDRC’s POS standards and receive input. Judy reviewed the draft
recommended changes with the Committee, who voted to support the changes and present
the recommended changes to the POS standards to the full Board for approval. Following
approval by the Board, the recommendations will be submitted to the Department of
Developmental Services (DDS) for review and approval.
MOTION: M/S/C that the revised Independent Living Services (ILS) section of the
Purchase of Service (POS) Standards be presented to the Board of Directors for

3. Chair’s Report
Chair Chris Hodge thanked the members of the committee and our community partners for all
their hard work with the recent advocacy efforts. Although Governor’s budget for fiscal year
2015-2016 did not include any increase for funding for our providers or the regional center
system, he is hopeful that we can make a positive impact by continued advocacy with our local
leaders who have been assigned committees in the special session.

report on the Fiscal Year 2015-2016 State Budget Update.

Developmental Services Committee. In addition, Senator Joel Anderson has been
selected to serve on the Senate Public Health and Developmental Services Committee.

6. SBX2 1 (Beall) - Action Item
Neil Kramer provided the committee a summary of SBX2 1 authored by Senator Jim
Beall. The legislation increases funding across the board by 10%, provides a stop-gap to
halt the ongoing erosion of services and oversight. Also, by requiring minimum wage
increases be funded, it ensures that California’s state and local evolution on wages be
properly recognized. Concurrently, by expanding that funding to exempt employees, this
bill ensures an honest and comprehensive accounting is made. Lastly, the mandate that
the Department of Developmental Services develops a 10-year financial sustainability
plan will serve as a long-term framework to ensure the sustainability of the service
system – including rate reform – and the rebuilding of the promise of the Lanterman
Act. A motion was made by Molly Nocon to support SBX2 1. Kathleen McCarthy
seconded the motion. The motion to support the legislation passed unanimously.

SBX2_3, and SBX2_4) that have the potential to impact rates. One calls for a 10%
increase, another for using the monies related to Developmental Center closures to fund
services for persons with developmental disabilities and another that would dictate
that if additional funds are found they go to the system that supports persons with
developmental disabilities. That bill may require a new tax.
There was also discussion about the minimum wage and the potential to impact
providers.
