(a) It is the intent of the Legislature to advance regional center service provision that is person centered and more uniform, consistent, and equitable, while enhancing the experiences of individuals and families. It is the further intent of the Legislature that the department shall, consistent with these equity goals, have the authority under this division to oversee and monitor the manner in which regional centers provide services pursuant to the Lanterman Developmental Disabilities Services Act (Division 4.5 (commencing with Section 4500)).
(b) Written directives issued by the department shall be consistent with the Lanterman Developmental Disabilities Services Act, and shall not interfere with the discretion of the individual program planning team to determine the needs and services appropriate for each person with a developmental disability who is entitled to services under the Lanterman Developmental Disabilities Services Act.
Terms Used In California Welfare and Institutions Code 4435
- Department: means the State Department of Developmental Services. See California Welfare and Institutions Code 4401
- Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
