Public Policy Priorities

The Council works to improve laws, policies, programs, and services. We work with many people to create the change we want. This includes the governor, state government, and state legislators. There are many issues that affect people with developmental disabilities. Each year the Council picks the top issues we focus on. Click the link below to see this year’s priorities.
