AN ACT Relating to increasing access to data related to the safety and stability of residential settings for individuals with developmental disabilities; adding a new section to chapter 71A.12 RCW; and creating new sections.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:

NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. (1) The legislature finds that the state uses a mixed-delivery model for developmental disability services, relying on both state-operated facilities and placements and contracted private providers.

(2) The legislature further finds that reliable data regarding client safety, stability, and law enforcement interaction is well-documented within state-operated facilities but lacks standardization across the network of private vendors.
