Universal Citation: WY Code of Rules 42-5

Current through September 21, 2024

(a) All persons possess inalienable rights under the Constitutions of the United States and the State of Wyoming. Persons with developmental disabilities also possess the rights outlined in the Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act of 2000, 42 U.S.C. § 15001, and which are included as Appendix A to this Chapter.

(b) It is the philosophy of the Division to develop reasonable and enforceable rules for the provision of services to individuals with developmental disabilities in community settings in lieu of unnecessary institutionalization. This philosophy is mandated in the Supreme Court ruling on Olmstead v. L.C. ex rel. Zimring, 527 U.S. 581 (1999).

(c) This Chapter is designed not only to support the philosophy of community-based services but to also protect the health, welfare, and safety of participants.
