House Bill 966 requires the Health and Human Services Commission to study ways in which health and human services agencies may quantify the amount of legislatively appropriated money that is spent to care for a person who is receiving institutional care in certain institutions and redirect all or part of that amount to community-based programs that will provide services to the person if the person leaves the institution to live in the community.
