What it does
The bill would require the Office of Management and Budget to consider creating a separate occupational code for direct support professionals in the Standard Occupational Classification system during its next revision. It aims to improve data collection on workforce shortages and turnover rates affecting these workers, who support individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities in daily living and community integration. If OMB decides not to establish the new code, it must report its reasoning to specified congressional committees within 30 days of the revision. No additional funding is authorized for this effort.
