InfoNet

ID Action and Iowa's Developmental Disabilities Council  want to help you become a better advocate.  Instead of just sitting up and taking notice, we want you to stand up and take action. 

That is why we have created infoNET- to give you the information, tools, resources and opportunities you need to take action.  Actions speak louder than words!

WEEK 6 NEWS @ the Iowa Capitol!  

Thanks to all of you as we fix our technical issues with our website upgrade. The PDF of the new issue of infoNET is now available (Issue #3).  Previous issues are also available. Just click on the one that you need. We hope to have these problems fixed soon. 

The Mental Health & Disability Services Redesign Bills now have numbers.  The bills were introduced as companions - so the House Study Bill (HSB) and Senate Study Bill (SSB) listed for each set of recommendations are the same (at least for now).
  • HSB 630 & SSB 3152 - makes recommended changes in core services, regions, delivery systems.
  • HSB 623 & SSB 3137 - makes recommended changes from Judicial/Courts work group.
  • HSB 624 & SSB 3136 - changes "mental retardation" to "intellectual disability" in Iowa law.
