Subseries E: Olmstead Task Force, 2002-2003.

Extent:

1 box.

Scope and content:

The Olmstead Task Force subseries is housed in one archival box and is arranged in alphabetical order. This subseries contains memorandums, reports, correspondence, agendas, notes, presentations, and other sundry items. The subseries documents the work of the task force established to develop an Olmstead plan for Virginia to serve persons with disabilities. The Olmstead Decision by the Supreme Court in 1999 upheld the U.S. Dept. of Justice's regulations mandating that states must administer their programs in the most integrated setting appropriate to the needs of persons with disabilities. The decision of Olmstead v. L.C. prohibits states from placing persons with disabilities in inappropriate institutional placements, asserting that, under the ADA, continued unjustified institutionalization is a violation of an individual's right to live in the most integrated setting appropriate to his/her needs and to have choices. This subseries includes information regarding the Olmstead v. L.C. Case, waiver meetings, and task force meetings. Also noteworthy is a copy of "One Community: Final Report of the Task Force to Develop an Olmstead Plan for Virginia."

Arrangement:
