                   (Executive Budget: pp.113-115)

The 35-member Developmental Disabilities Planning Council (DDPC) is federally 
funded through the Federal Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of 
Rights Act, originally passed in 1975 and recently reauthorized. Federal law 
requires that at least 60 percent of the Council's membership must be persons 
with developmental disabilities or their families. The Council's staff of 18 
administers and monitors contracts with not-for-profit agencies to enhance
services and service delivery to persons with developmental disabilities to 
improve their quality of life.

This agency is included in the Health, Mental Hygiene and Environmental 
Conservation appropriation bill.

State Operations

The Executive recommends a decrease of $36,000 in the total Agency appropriation 
to reflect an anticipated decrease in federal support.
