At-a-glance: Health & Human Services Committee recommends two IDD bills to full council
The committee voted to forward two bills to the full Montgomery County Council: Bill 28-26 (IDD Commission membership expansion and name amendment) and Bill 12-26 (update payments to DD service providers and remove an outdated reporting requirement). Both recommendations passed by committee voice/hand votes; roll-call tallies were not recorded in the transcript.

The Montgomery County Health and Human Services Committee recommended two bills to the full council during its recent session. The committee approved Bill 28-26, which would expand voting membership on the Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Commission (and carries a proposed amendment to rename the bill for Jake Dedinsky). The committee also approved Bill 12-26 to align county code on payments to service providers, removing a statutory annual recommendation tied to an outdated 125% wage metric.
