All state agencies shall cooperate with the reasonable requests of the state council by providing information to the state council in the preparation of the state plan. Any expenditures incurred by state agencies in providing this assistance to the state council shall be identified in the state plan and in the state agency’s annual budget. These expenditures may be funded in whole or in part by state funds appropriated as the required state share of the developmental disabilities program, or by federal funds from Public Law 106-402, as amended (42 U.S.C. § 15001 et seq.), or both, when the state council allots funds for these purposes in the state plan.

(Amended by Stats. 2002, Ch. 676, Sec. 32. Effective January 1, 2003.)
