A Compilation of the Developmental Disabilities Legislation, 1975: PL 91-517 as Amended by PL 94-103.

Hammer, Paula, Ed.
Richman, Gary, Ed.

Presented is a compilation of The Developmental Disabilities Services and Facilities Construction Act (P.L. 91-517) and its amendment, the Developmentally Disabled Assistance and Bill of Rights Act (P.L. 94-103). The document contains three sections: an index to the developmental disabilities law as amended; the compiled legislation; and the Joint Explanatory Statement of the Committee of Conference of the Congress. The provisions of the law are listed briefly by section number in the index. Included in part II are sections covering the following major areas (sample section topics are in parentheses): general provisions (definitions, employment of handicapped individuals--affirmative action, and protection and advocacy of individual rights); university affiliated facilities (demonstration and training grants, authorization of appropriations, and projects authorized); grants for planning, provision of services, and construction and operation of facilities for the developmentally disabled (state allotments; withholding of payments for planning, construction, administration, and services; and judicial review); special project grants; and additional provisions (studies and recommendations, conforming amendments, and effective date). The explanatory statement in the final section is noted to provide two important insights: how conflicting provisions proposed by the House and Senate were resolved, and what is the intent of Congress in enacting certain provisions.
