Increasing access to respite care for those with intellectual or developmental disabilities and their caregivers.

Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

This bill aims to increase access to respite care for individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities and their caregivers in Washington state. It proposes adding respite care as an "aggregate service" under the Basic Plus waiver, allowing funds to be used for this purpose without needing prior approval after a certain limit is reached. This change would affect individuals receiving services through the Basic Plus waiver and their caregivers, potentially providing them with more flexibility and support.
