AI Summary

This bill establishes a system for tracking the unmet service needs of individuals with developmental disabilities in Massachusetts. It requires the creation of a central electronic database, operated and maintained by the Office of Disabilities and Community Services at the Executive Office of Health and Human Services. The database will contain data prepared by various state agencies, including the Department of Developmental Services, the Rehabilitation Commission, the Commission for the Blind, and the Commission for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. These agencies will submit annual reports on the number of individuals with developmental disabilities who apply for services, the number receiving services, and the number who apply but are unsuccessful in receiving services. The Office of Disabilities and Community Services will then enter this information into the database and generate annual public reports.
