- After years of federal oversight, Georgia’s disability care system faces a new test
A Department of Justice memo argues that federal disability laws no longer require states to provide certain community-based services, signaling that the federal government does not plan to enforce a landmark court ruling. Despite this change in federal stance, one state agency leader stated he plans to adhere to requirements from a 2010 settlement. Disability advocates warn that the potential lack of federal oversight could deter necessary progress and funding for care reforms.
