AB 1575: Lanterman Developmental Disabilities Services Act.

California · Assembly · 2025–2026 Regular Session · last verified August 25, 2026

What AB 1575 does, verified August 25, 2026

The proposed act aims to improve services for individuals with developmental disabilities and their families. It would replace the term "consumer" with "person eligible for regional center services" and remove gendered language throughout the act. The definition of in-home respite services would be expanded to include care and supervision provided in the client's local community, with a focus on community integration and socialization. This change would allow for more flexible and supportive services for individuals with developmental disabilities.
