This bill requires facilities to give parents or guardians 10 days' notice before discharging a developmentally disabled person who was voluntarily admitted as a minor, and to inform them about available support services in the community. The change ensures families have adequate time to plan for the person's transition and understand what help is available outside the facility.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
