Resolved, That the Legislature intends to establish a working group to determine how the sale or reuse of developmental center sale, lease, or repurposing of developmental center properties can be utilized for the maximum benefit of the community of persons with developmental disabilities in a way that optimizes use of moneys in the Department of Developmental Services Trust Fund (DDSTF) without violating the California Constitutions requirements relating to the disposition of surplus properties; and be it further
Resolved, That the Legislature encourages the creation of a self-sustaining income mechanism to support persons with developmental disabilities; and be it further
