§ 53A-24-110. Purpose for establishing the office.  


Latest version.
  • (1) It is the intent of the Legislature that all activities of the office and its subordinate components be conducted in such a manner that persons with disabilities will be assisted, so far as reasonably possible, to take their rightful place in open society as independent and self-supporting individuals.
    (2) Neither the office nor any of its parts may assist or support any activity that will result in unnecessary continuation of a dependent or isolated state or unnecessarily separate persons with disabilities from open society.
