美国地方法官阻止缅因州和司法部削弱一项要求国家改善残疾儿童社区服务的2024年解决方案,并裁定情况没有重大变化,有理由取消诸如独立审查员和社区重返社会规划等关键监督措施。 A U.S. District Judge has blocked Maine and the DOJ from weakening a 2024 settlement requiring the state to improve community-based services for children with disabilities, ruling that no significant change in circumstances justified removing key oversight measures like an independent reviewer and community reintegration planning. 该协议源于联邦的一项裁决,即缅因州违反《反倾销协定》和《奥尔姆斯特德协定》的决定,过度将残疾青年送入机构。 The agreement stems from a federal finding that Maine violated the ADA and Olmstead decision by over-institutionalizing disabled youth. 倡导团体欢迎这一决定,称它维护问责制并确保儿童在其社区得到照料。 Advocacy groups welcomed the decision, saying it preserves accountability and ensures children receive care in their communities.
