Amends the Developmental Disability and Mental Disability Services Act. Requires the Department of Human Services, with the advice of appropriate advisory committees and stakeholders, to develop a plan and a timetable for the full implementation, by no later than State Fiscal Year 2024, of the recommended funding and policy changes presented in the 2020 report "Developmental Disability Services Rate Study: Residential Services and Related Supports". Requires the plan to identify the percentage of lost purchasing power for the Home-Based Support Services Program for Adults with Mental Disabilities since State Fiscal Year 2015 due to increases in workforce costs and rates. Requires the Department to establish a new rate methodology for the Program that recoups the lost purchasing power and ensures that the budget for the Program adequately reflects the actual cost of program services going forward.
