AB1244: Sign the Petition
The members of SEIU have worked for years to advance the rights and improve the supports and services for the people with disabilities (Read more here.) SEIU at the local and national levels has committed to support policy changes and service designs that support community inclusion (Read the “Community Imperative” from the Center on Human Policy at Syracuse University) and employment opportunities for people with developmental and other disabilities (Download the PDF document: “SEIU’s 2008 resolution – Good Jobs”).
AB 1244 by Assemblymember Wes Chesbro (D-North Coast) gave people hope. AB 1244 would have given each regional center client the CHOICE to keep the services they have now OR to choose Self-Determination.
Despite an outpouring of support from families and advocates, AB 1244, Self-Determination, was withdrawn from consideration on June 28.
