Whenever a State developmental disabilities facility | ||||

level necessary for the facility reducing population as | ||||
well as additional appropriation authority required for | ||||
other facilities or community care alternatives which are | ||
expected to experience an increase in the number of | ||
individuals served. | ||
The report required under this Section shall be given to | ||
the General Assembly within 30 days of when a decision is made | ||
to decrease the population of a facility by 10% or more, or in | ||

changes, within 30 days of the actual change in population by | ||
10% or more. | ||
Based on information contained in the reports required | ||
under this Section, the Department shall transfer funds from | ||
the facility realizing a reduction in the number of individuals | ||
served to the appropriate line item providing appropriation | ||
