Establishment

The Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act Amendments of 1994, Pub. L No. 103-230, amended substantially the earlier enacted statutes which governed the operation of the Pennsylvania Developmental Disabilities Planning Council. To advance further the development within this Commonwealth of a responsive system of services for individuals with developmental disabilities and to fulfill to the maximum extent practicable the goals of Pub. L. No. 103-230, the Developmental Disabilities Council (referred to as the Council) is established.
