On Friday, October 25, 2024 the Secretary of State’s Office published the regulations of the Department of Developmental Services (DDS), for Self-Determination and self-Directed services designed to increase the independence and autonomy of people with disabilities.
Throughout the development of these regulations, DDS conducted public hearings and met with stakeholders, which resulted in these regulations. We are grateful for the extensive feedback from the community for their contributions to these regulations.
