Please Note:
There are also Massachusetts General Laws, C.19B and C.123B that concern the formation of the agency and other matters, as well as policies of the Executive Office of Health and Human Services dealing with out-of-home placements for children, criminal background checks for provider staff, and securing appropriate housing for consumers, that also govern the Department of Developmental Services. This section just concerns DDS Policies.
