1 7 AND INTENT. During the 1997 legislative interim, the

1 32 oriented system to a community and individual-oriented

1 35 developed. The general assembly recognizes the role
1 36 of the department of human services and others in
1 37 furthering this movement. As part of this movement,
1 38 the state institutions are evolving to be state-of-
1 39 the-art service providers for persons with chronic,

1 41 local services are not adequately available, while
