Division of Rehabilitation Services rule relating to Ron Yost Personal Assistance Services Act Board

Summary

SB 385 concerns a rule for the Division of Rehabilitation Services relating to the Ron Yost Personal Assistance Services Act Board. Based on the caption and available legislative context, the bill appears to address administrative or regulatory provisions governing how the board operates under the personal assistance services program, rather than creating a new standalone program or broad policy change. Because the bill text is not available in the provided materials, the specific amendments or rule details cannot be identified from the record here. The measure is tied to the state’s rehabilitation and disability-services framework and likely affects the oversight, administration, or implementation of personal assistance services for eligible individuals with disabilities.

No specific statutory sections or substantive benefit changes can be confirmed from the provided text.
