53A-24-110. Purpose for establishing the office.
(1) It is the intent of the Legislature that all activities of the office and its subordinate
components be conducted in such a manner that persons with disabilities will be assisted, so far as
reasonably possible, to take their rightful place in open society as independent and self-supporting
individuals.
(2) Neither the office nor any of its parts may assist or support any activity that will result
in unnecessary continuation of a dependent or isolated state or unnecessarily separate persons
with disabilities from open society.
