To better understand the effects of the Olmstead ruling, the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) conducted a 50-state survey. Results from that first survey provide an overview of the choices states are making as they act on their obligations under the Olmstead decision. Building on its previous work, NCSL is issuing this second study to continue its review of state planning and implementation activities related to Olmstead with generous support from AARP. NCSL would like to thank AARP's Public Policy Institute and our project officer, Enid Kassner, for both their support and guidance.
The purpose of this study is to:
- Categorize overall state activities around Olmstead, according to their scope and purpose;
- Provide detailed descriptive analyses of Olmstead plans, including analyses of priorities, action steps, timetables, budgetary and legislative strategies, and other relevant factors; and
- Identify and describe targeted efforts planned on behalf of people with disabilities.
