View Rule

This proposed rule would update the Independent Living program consistent with its reauthorization in the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act.  The regulations will include conforming changes to reflect the transition of the program from the Department of Education to the Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Community Living.  The regulations will also address statutory changes such as designated State entities, State plan requirements, additional core service responsibilities with an emphasis on youth and nursing home to community, and indicators of minimum compliance for centers for independent living and Statewide Independent Living Councils.  This rulemaking does not apply to the Independent Living Services for Older Individuals Who Are Blind.
