JEFF STONE, R-MURRIETA, REPRESENTS CALIFORNIA’S 28TH STATE SENATE DISTRICT.
March 27, 2015, 12:03AM
Recently, this newspaper came out and opposed legislation I’ve authored to help Californians who are challenged by developmental disabilities. I am authoring Senate Bills 638 and 639 that together restore California’s vision for empowering people with developmental disabilities to maximize their potential. SB 638 would provide needed money and launch reforms to help give disabled citizens community services that are high-quality, sustainable and transparent, and SB 639 would pay for those efforts by shutting down two expensive and outdated state-run institutions, known as developmental centers, in Orange and Sonoma counties.
