Opinion No. 181-79 (1979)

Dear Mr. Ahr:

With reference to the state plan for persons with developmental disabilities, and amendments thereto, submitted under the provisions of the Developmental Disabilities Program, as amended by P.L. 95-602, to the best of my knowledge and belief:

2. Nothing in this state plan in inconsistent with state law.

Sincerely,

JOHN ASHCROFT Attorney General
