Settlement Agreement: U.S. v. Louisiana

This document is a settlement agreement entered on June 6, 2018, by the federal Department of Justice (DOJ) and the State of Louisiana. The agreement settles a DOJ lawsuit filed the same day over the state's continued reliance on nursing homes as the primary service setting for supportive living services for people with mental illness. In December 2017, the DOJ had issued investigation findings that concluded that the state's reliance on nursing homes violated the Americans with Disabilities Act . . .
