Synopsis As Introduced
Creates the Technology-Based Young Adult Day Program Act. Requires the Department of Human Services to establish a technology-based day program for young adults aged 18-30 who have a developmental disability. Provides for a 3-year phase-in of the program: (1) for FY2010, requires a pilot program in DuPage County; (2) in addition, for FY2011, requires the Department to make training and technology resources available to the State Superintendent of Education to provide secondary school students statewide with skills they need for higher education and employment; and (3) in addition, for FY2012, requires the Department to develop a community-integrated living arrangement (CILA) pilot program that emphasizes the use of technology. Requires reports to the General Assembly concerning the operation of the pilot programs, and authorizes the Department to expand the pilot programs to other areas of the State. Makes implementation of the program subject to appropriations.

House Amendment No. 1
Provides that neither the Governor nor any agency or agency head under the jurisdiction of the Governor has any rulemaking authority under the Act, but that the Governor may suggest rules by filing them with the General Assembly and requesting that the General Assembly authorize such rulemaking by law, enact the suggested rules into law, or take other appropriate action in the General Assembly's discretion.

House Amendment No. 2
Provides that the technology-based day program for young adults shall also be for 8 young adults in McHenry County (in addition to 8 young adults in DuPage County).
