30:6D-12.6  Development, expansion of self-directed support services.

6. a. Except in the case of a short-term pilot program, the commissioner shall, to the extent feasible, develop and expand the use of self-directed support services throughout the State, and eliminate obstacles to the use of such services.  The services shall be made available without regard to the severity of a person's disability, except to the extent that the person's disability would prevent that person from being safely accommodated with self-directed support services.

b.In the event that two or more divisions in the department are funding self-directed support services for the same person, the commissioner shall designate one division as the lead division for the purpose of enforcing a right guaranteed by section 4 of P.L.1977, c.82 (C.30:6D-4) or P.L.2008, c.128 (C.30:6D-12.1 et al.).
