Idaho Disability Councils
The Idaho
State Independent Living Council
The history of
independent living stems from a philosophy that states that people with all
types of disabilities should have the same civil rights and control over their
own lives as people without disabilities.
The independent living
movement involves shifting societal attitudes about people with disabilities
away from a patronizing, pitying medical model towards empowerment,
independence, home– and community-based services, and integration as fully
contributing, valued members of society.
The Rehabilitation Act
Amendments of 1992 were signed into law by President George Bush on October 30,
1992, and required the establishment of State Independent Living Councils
(SILCs). The Idaho SILC was created by
Executive Order 93-01 on May 28, 1993 with its membership appointed by the
Governor. Since its inception, the
Idaho SILC has been actively engaged in activities that assist in providing
Idahoans with disabilities a greater voice in obtaining services that are
consumer-responsive, cost-effective and community-based. On March 24, 2004, Governor Kempthorne
signed into law HB 711 (unanimously passed in both houses) bringing the SILC
into compliance with federal law: "The SILC may not be established as an
entity within a state agency, including the designated state agency or
Designated State Unit (DSU). The SILC
shall be independent of the DSU and all other state agencies....”
The Idaho SILC is known
nationwide as an innovative leader in the independent living movement. During fiscal year 2004, the SILC provided
leadership development opportunities to empower grassroots advocates, who in
turn, developed systemic changes in public policy to positively impact people
with disabilities. Additionally, the
SILC supports training and education for people with disabilities, businesses,
legislators and others involved in public policy development, including a series
of focus groups throughout the state to develop and then review the 2005-2007
State Plan for Independent Living (SPIL).
The SILC provides three (3) legislative updates per session on all issues
impacting individuals with disabilities to Council members and Idahoans with
disabilities. During the SFY 2003, the
SILC Outreach Committee developed and mailed a survey to all individuals on its
mailing list (4,400) to receive feedback on the value of the updates to the
recipients. An overwhelming majority of
the returned surveys enthusiastically responded that the updates were timely,
informative and the issues within the updates were usually critical to their
standard of living. Others responded
that they were unfamiliar with the SILC and its purpose. Respondents also requested additional
information on specific issues. The
SILC tallied the requests and included one of the three top requests to be added
to each of the 2004 legislative updates.
Legislative Update #1 (February
2004) included a brief yet concise overview of discount and free prescription
drug programs.
Legislative Update #2 (March 2004) included an overview of employment and
training opportunities for Idahoans with disabilities.
The Post-Legislative Update
(April 2004) included a review of accessible parking laws including an update
of the most recent legislative actions affecting accessible parking.
SILC
Responsibilities
The
SILC must fulfill the following objectives:
√ Develop, sign and submit,
in conjunction with the Idaho Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (IDVR) and
the Idaho Commission for the Blind and Visually Impaired (ICBVI), the State
Plan for Independent Living (SPIL) for people with disabilities. It must
monitor, review and evaluate the implementation of the SPIL.
√ Support the centers for
independent living (CILs) and advocate for independent living (IL) services
provided through state and federal programs for people with disabilities.
√ Gather and disseminate information, conduct
studies and analyses, develop model policies, conduct training on IL
philosophy, and work to expand and improve IL services.
Membership Guidelines
The
SILC is comprised of twenty-three members appointed by the Governor. These
individuals must represent a broad range of disabilities and be knowledgeable
about CILs and independent living services. A majority of the Council’s members
(at least 51 percent) must be people with disabilities who are not employed by
the state or a CIL.
Membership
Categories

Service providers
Private business representatives
Youth representative
Ex-officio (nonvoting) members, including representatives from IDVR, ICBVI,
the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare, the State Department of Education/
Special Education and the Commission on Aging.
Nomination/Selection Process
Council members are appointed to
three-year terms, and are limited to two consecutive terms. If, however, a
member is appointed to fill an un-expired term, the individual may serve the
remainder of that term plus two additional terms. Nomination forms are accepted
on an ongoing basis and are kept on file indefinitely. Selection of a nominee is based upon one’s
knowledge of the independent living philosophy, along with the desire and
ability to serve. Full participation is
crucial to the success of the Council, so candidates must carefully consider
their time commitment and other factors when submitting a nomination form. When a vacancy occurs in a specific
category, nominations are reviewed by the Membership Committee. The Committee then makes a recommendation to
the full Council regarding its selection. When the Council meets at the
following quarterly business meeting, a final recommendation for that slot is
made. All nominations are then
forwarded to the Governor, along with the SILC’s recommendation. The Governor
then selects and appoints a new member to the Council.
“The Idaho SILC’s mission is to
advocate for and achieve independence, choice, self-determination, equal access
and equal opportunity for Idahoans with disabilities through systems change,
policy involvement and public education.” July 2004

SILC Activities and Actions
Quarterly Council Meeting Highlights
July
18, 2003
The
Policy Committee developed a list of “stakeholders” to be invited to participate
on the Idahoans with Disabilities Act (IDA) project. The stakeholders that the Executive Director contacted agreed to
participate.
The
SILC has asked for but not received legal counsel assistance from a Deputy
Attorney from the Idaho Attorney General’s Office to handle the SILC’s interest
in becoming a 501(c)(3).
The
Council discussed the benefits and expenditures associated with hiring outside
legal counsel to assist with the legislation required to allow the SILC to
become a non-profit 501(c)(3) and agreed that staff should investigate the
possibility of finding an attorney for legal review.
The
Council agreed to make Medicaid Buy-In a priority for the 2004 legislative
session by convincing the Governor to include it in his budget recommendation
to the legislature. The 2020 Blue
Ribbon Task Force recommended the Medicaid Buy-In in their report to the
Governor.
Council
members were urged to contact their legislators in support of the Senate
version of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) because it is
a better piece of legislation than the House version. However, both versions reduce the frequency of reviewing
Individualized Educational Programs (IEP) from annually to every 3 years which
would be devastating to children with disabilities.
The
contract with Living Independently For Everyone (LIFE) for the 2004 Statewide
Independent Living Conference was executed for the amount of $32,866.47.
A conference coordinator will
be hired to lead the conference preparations and LIFE will be the fiscal agent,
paying bills.
Other needs for SILC Projects
money are: 501(c)(3), a Media Campaign, and the BSU Survey update. The Executive Director (ED) was asked to
provide figures regarding the BSU Survey update and the other projects so that
the Program Committee and the Council could make a final decision.
A student transition pilot
project with the Blackfoot School District is to start next spring. The program will be evaluated after the
spring semester. It is a collaborative effort
by the Idaho Department of Vocational Rehabilitation (IDVR), the State
Department of Education (SDOE), the Centers for Independent Living (CILs)
around the state and the SILC. The
purpose is to teach students the independent living philosophy so that they are
aware of their rights under the laws and are empowered to take control of their
lives. A curriculum would include
for-credit classes and time spent at independent living centers in order to
experience what happens there, to be around others with disabilities and to
gain role models.
Approximately 4,400 surveys
were mailed to people with disabilities who had previously requested to be
included on our mailing list.
For the fourth year in a row
the ED provided congressional testimony to increase funding for the CILs. The Independent Living budget, when he first
started providing testimonies, was $40 million. The funding has increased by $35 million, almost doubling the
federal funding CIL’s receive.
The SILC received notice from
the Governor’s Office that Kristi Laney, Region I, person with a disability
representative, and Sandra Dressel, Independent Living Center representative,
have been appointed to the SILC.
October 17, 2003
Council members reviewed the
2002-2004 State Plan for Independent Living (SPIL) clarifying which goals have
or have not been met.
C.A. Daw, attorney, instructed
Council members on the differences between a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization
and a self-governing agency.
The Council received updates
on the Medicaid Buy-In Program, the Help America Vote Act (HAVA), the
Rehabilitation Act, and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
The Council voted to oppose
the Senate version of the IDEA bill and mobilize to contact their legislators
regarding this issue.
No Idaho legislator has signed
on to the Medicaid Community Attendant Services and Supports Act (MiCASSA) and
council members were asked to contact their congressional representatives to encourage their
support.
The 2003 and the 2004 budgets were distributed and
reviewed.
The council voted to accept
Kim Steinberg’s proposal for the 2005-2007 SPIL implementation strategy with
the addition of researching non-traditional computer based input.
Mark Leeper, Executive
Director, Disability Action Center Northwest (DAC-NW) agreed to a $5,000 cut in
funding for the 2004 Fiscal Year. The $5,000 will be used to defray expenses
for the statewide independent living conference.
The Council moved to designate
$20,000 to update the 1995 BSU Survey.
The Council moved to designate
$45,000 to fund the DAC-NW Coeur d’Alene satellite office.
Because there were no changes
to the Living Independence Network Corp (LINC) contract, the contract will
continue to be funded at $42,000 as per the Council’s vote during the July 2003
council meeting.
Ron Moran, Chair, Outreach
Committee, informed the Council that the SILC Student Transition Workgroup had
its first meeting. Jacque Hyatt has
created a workgroup in Blackfoot, ID (site of pilot project) and the State
Department of Education (SDE) has set aside funds to contract an individual
from Idaho Parents Unlimited (IPUL). Mr. Moran has been corresponding with Dr.
David Case, Blackfoot School District, regarding the SILC’s interests of
including the independent living philosophy within the curriculum. It is unknown what progress the Blackfoot
Team has made.
The mailing list survey has
been returned and tallied. SILC staff have provided a list of questions from
the survey respondents that the Outreach Committee will respond to. A single issue will be chosen, researched
and added to each Legislative Update beginning this coming legislative session.
The ED reported on the various
conferences he has attended: NCIL Board
Meeting and ADAPT Rally, Idaho Governor’s Conference on Housing, National
Epilepsy Conference, Chronic Homelessness Policy Conference, and the Inside
Policy Training.
Due to a scholarship from the
SILC, Kristi Laney, PWD, Region 1, attended and reported on the People First
conference in Spokane, Washington.
January 23, 2004
Kim Steinberg, Facilitator,
Idahoans with Disabilities Act Task Force (IDA), updated the Council on the
Task Force’s activities.
Ron Seiler, Project Director
of the Idaho Assistive Technology Project at the Center on Disabilities and
Human Development, University of Idaho, gave a presentation on the Information
Technology Act.
Diane Yarrington, Alternative
Care Provider, and Mary Betourney, Department of Health and Welfare, gave a
presentation on the Medicaid Buy-In Rules.

Jim Baugh, Executive Director,
Comprehensive Advocacy, Inc. (Co-Ad), gave a presentation on Involuntary
Hospitalization of people with mental illness (RS13668). Mr. Baugh also provided information to
Council members regarding legislation being introduced by the Idaho Association
of Counties. The legislation as
proposed would increase control of decisions by the Board of Commissioners including
control over membership.
Joe Gallegos, AARP, presented
to the Council on the merits of the AARP’s Prescription Drug Purchase Card
legislation and asked for the Council’s support.
Bob Aldridge, Attorney at Law,
presented to the Council on revisions to the Living Wills statutes (Section
39-4504). Do Not Resuscitate (DNR)
statutes currently only apply to non-institutional settings and only to
emergency personnel. The bill would
change non-institutional settings to ALL situations.
Bob Aldridge also presented on
the Grandparents as Parents legislation which would provide legal standing for
grandparents in custody cases.
Sam Blair, Idaho Community
Action Network, presented to the Council on the Indigent Health Care Liens and
the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) expansion.
The Council moved that the
Council approach the Joint Finance and Appropriations Committee (JFAC) to
request $300,000—$400,000 from State General Funds for a Medicaid Buy-In
Program.
The Council moved to support:
the Self-Determination Waiver, the Information Technology Act Executive Order,
the Involuntary Hospitalization of people with mental illness legislation,
Co-Ad’s position on RS 13668, AARP’s
efforts on the Prescription Drug Card, the Grandparents as Parents bill if the
language does not conflict with previous child custody language revisions, the
CHIP Expansion legislation and the repeal of the Indigent Health Care Lien
legislation.
The Council moved to accept
the proposed amendments to the 2004 Objectives.
There will be four SPIL focus
groups around the state, Twin Falls, Coeur d’Alene, Caldwell, and Idaho
Falls. The dates and locations will be
added to the SILC web site. Ms.
Steinberg developed a purpose statement and three questions for the focus
groups. The web will invite Idahoans
with disabilities to respond to the questions.
Ms. Steinberg is also investigating the options for a web cast. Council members were invited to the focus groups.
Council members were informed
that two changes were made to the SILC legislation in accordance with requests
from the Department of Administration and Michael Graham, IDVR.
The 2003 704 Report will be
completed (including signatures) by January 30, 2004.
Council members completed an
evaluation of the ED’s performance. Mike Keithly and Roger Howard were voted in
for second terms as Chair and Vice-Chair (respectively).
The Blackfoot School District
will try to implement the Student Transition pilot program in the next
trimester (March-June). Evaluations would be completed over the summer.
The ED reported on his
activities at the SILC Congress, Chronic Homelessness Policy Academy, Western
States Health Care Summit, Family Support Council, and on the End of Life Coalition. He also reported on federal legislation
regarding the Rehabilitation Act, the Omnibus Budget Act, Medicaid Community
Attendant Services and Supports Act (MiCASSA), Individuals with Disabilities
Education Act (IDEA), and the Medicare Prescription Drug Bill.
Dana Ard and Todd DeVries will
review the SILC’s policy on alternative formats and discuss during the next
Policy Committee meeting.
April 30, 2004
For the first time since their
creation, the State Rehabilitation Council (SRC) and the SILC held a joint
meeting.
A Panel Presentation and
Discussion consumed the morning session of the business meeting. Panel members included Evelyn Mason, IPUL,
Candida Mumford, IDVR Boise East School-Work Program, Carole Carnahan,
Transition Teacher, Boise East High School, Jacque Hyatt, SDE Special Education
and SILC member, and Ron Moran, SILC member.
Panel and counsel members presented personal stories of growing up with
or teaching an individual with a significant or obvious disability describing
the barriers, successes and educational process associated with the growth
process. Common Theme: Education and involvement of family members, especially
on the independent living philosophy.
The Governor has ordered IDHW
to implement the Medicaid Buy-In program but neither the Governor nor the
legislature provided funds to implement the program.
The Council moved to accept
the amended Alternative Formats policy recommended by the Policy Committee.
The IDA Task Force will change
existing law and regulations in the Idaho Human Rights Act by adding
“disability” as a protected class under Public Accommodations (private
business). The definition of
disability will be changed to match the regulations from the Americans with
Disabilities Act and added to the Human Rights Act. Title II under the ADA (state and local government) will be added
into the Act.
Miss Nampa, Elizabeth Barchas,
and Mrs. Idaho International, Rebecca Blackwell-Evans have made disability
their pageant platform. Both have
agreed to assist the IDA Task Force with promotion of the IDA.
Mark Leeper reported on the
status of the 2005-2007 SPIL. Comments and suggestions used in the planning
meeting were compiled from council members and 70 consumers who attend focus
groups. Goals and objectives for the
draft SPIL were developed and will be reviewed by focus groups (Boise, Burley,
and Lewiston) in May.
Ron Moran requested
suggestions for topics to be included in the next Legislative Updates.
Certificates of Appreciation
were given to Bobby Ball and Cheryl Duncan for their years of service to the
SILC. Their second terms end May 28,

University (BSU), coordinator for the BSU Survey will meet with the Program
Committee to determine the methodology and questions of the survey.
The Council moved to provide a
bonus to SILC staff depending upon available funds and state regulations.
A subcommittee was created to
review draft budgets for the 2005 state fiscal year.
The SPIL states that each
Center for Independent Living (CIL) should be funded at a base amount of
$250,000. LIFE is at the base amount
& LINC reaches the base amount this year.
The formula will remain the same in the 2005-2007 SPIL so all increases
will go to DAC-NW.
The Membership Committee
reviewed applications for the Service Provider and Region 5 slots. The Committee voted to recommend Dana Gover
for the Service Provider position. Ms. Gover then declined the nomination.
Lack of participation by
council members became an issue of discussion during this meeting.

"As the lead sponsor of the
ADA in the Senate, I am pleased that the Court recognized the need for the ADA
and the 'pervasive unequal treatment' of people with disabilities in the
administration of public services. I am also pleased that the Court upheld the
statute as it applies to access to the courthouse. However, I am concerned that
the Court failed to uphold it more broadly. This is a big step forward for Mr.
Lane, but could leave millions of others with disabilities many steps short of
full participation and access." –

Public Policy Initiatives
SILC Legislation
On Wednesday, March 24, 2004, Governor Kempthorne signed
into law a bill that brings the SILC into compliance with federal law. HB 711 was supported by the Governor’s
Office, the SILC, the State Board of Education and the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation. The SILC will no longer be placed under the
direction of another state agency. The
structure of the SILC, its By-Laws and rules of operation will remain the same
and the Governor will continue to make the appointments of all Council members.
Medicaid Buy-In
The Medicaid Buy-In Program was written to help transition people to work
by permitting them to “buy into” Medicaid while working. A task force convened
by IDHW including consumers and advocates have written draft rules for the
program and the Governor has instructed the department to move forward in
designing a program. $400,000 is needed to implement the program as designed by
the committee convened by IDHW. On February 20, 2004, the Joint Finance and
Appropriations Committee (JFAC) made a decision to provide intent language
instructing the department to implement the program this year, but did not
provide the funding necessary. On March
11, 2004, the Legislature's joint budget committee voted 11-7 to reopen the
Medicaid budget to consider funding the program, but the move required a
two-thirds vote -- which meant 12 votes were needed.
A Better Way Coalition
Formerly the End of Life Coalition. Stirred by the belief that persons with
disabilities are not given the same end of life options as persons without
disabilities, the SILC is working with the Better Way Coalition to improve
control over end of life care for persons with disabilities.
Update on New Programs
Student Transition Team
The SILC Student Transition Team is comprised of SILC council members, the
Blackfoot school district and various community organizations to develop a
model transition program for all high school students with a disability. The Team meets monthly to coordinate and
combine goals and objectives with current procedures. Team members strive to create a comprehensive program that
compliments a triad philosophy of education, employment and the independent
living philosophy. Critical elements
will include a mentor program, a work program and off campus visits to
independent living centers and real life experiences field trips. The program is scheduled to begin in the
fall of 2004 in the Blackfoot School District.
The SILC’s long term charge is to oversee the statewide implementation
of the project. The SDE has agreed to
provide funding to initiate the program in a new school every two years.
Idahoans with Disabilities Act
Task Force (IDA)
The Governor’s 2020 Blue Ribbon Task Force
recommended exploring whether or not an
IDA is necessary, whether Idahoans with disabilities’ civil rights are already
adequately protected, or whether they need further protection. The SILC and the Idaho Task Force on the ADA
are co-sponsors of this task force and Living Independence Network Corp. (LINC)
has provided financial assistance towards the success of the task force. The Task Force will work to consolidate into
one section all of the codes within the Idaho State Code that address and
protect the rights of Idahoans with disabilities, which would be more
user-friendly for Idahoans with disabilities, businesses, government agencies
and the public as a whole.
