§ 56-625.1. Short title – Purpose - Definitions
A. This act shall be known and may be cited as the “Independent
Living Services Act”.
B. The Legislature hereby finds and declares that individuals
with disabilities comprise a large percentage of Oklahoma’s total
population. Such individuals need assistance in living fuller and
more independent lives. Individuals with disabilities receive
assistance in independent living in the form of direct client
services provided by the Department of Rehabilitation Services and
in the form of independent living services as provided by centers
for independent living pursuant to the federal Rehabilitation Act of
1973, as amended. However, as currently funded, such services are
not sufficient to meet the independent living needs of individuals
with disabilities. As a result, it is necessary to provide state
funding to expand the services currently provided.
