                          BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS
                   (Executive Budget: pp. 103-104)

The 35-member Developmental Disabilities Planning Council (DDPC) is
federally funded through the Federal Developmental Disabilities
Assistance and Bill of Rights Act, originally passed in 1975 and
recently reauthorized. Federal law requires that at least 60 percent
of the Council's membership must be persons with developmental
disabilities or members of their families.  The Council's staff of 18
administers and monitors contracts with not-for-profit agencies to
enhance services and service delivery to persons with developmental
disabilities to improve their quality of life. The Council's staff
ensures that Federal Funds are used to augment services and not to
supplant other support.

This agency is included in the Health, Mental Hygiene and
Environmental Conservation appropriation bill.  

State Operations

The Executive recommends an appropriation of $4,550,000, an increase
of $250,000 or 5.8 percent.  The $250,000 increase reflects
anticipated additional Federal support.
