The Legislature finds and declares that the people of California have benefited from the establishment of a long-term care ombudsperson pursuant to Section 9710, a foster care ombudsperson pursuant to Section 16161 and a Self-Determination Program Ombudsperson pursuant to Section 4685.9. The Legislature further finds it is essential to maintain the nonpartisan nature, integrity, and impartiality of ombudsperson functions and services. It is the intent of the Legislature to provide similar protections for individuals served by a regional center by establishing an Office of the Developmental Services Ombudsperson within the State Department of Developmental Services.
