    As title indicates. Directs the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) to report to the Joint Legislative Oversight Committee on Mental Health, Developmental Disabilities, and Substance Abuse Services (Committee) by September 1, 2011. Requires the revised process to ensure the following: (1) a simple, nonduplicated count of children and adults who are waiting for federally and state-funded services; (2) a research-based waiting list that accurately reflects the number of individuals waiting for services currently available in the state; and (3) data showing the number of individuals who are potentially eligible to receive services under the CAP-MR/DD waiver.
    Directs DHHS to make annual reports to the Committee, beginning September 30, 2012, on the waiting list data collected from each local management entity, including an analysis of service gaps and plans to address those gaps.
