In the States: Disability Rights South Carolina Releases Olmstead Report In 1999, the U.S. Supreme Court decided Olmstead v. L.C., ruling that people with disabilities have a right to live and receive services in a community-based setting. Yet, South Carolina still does not have a plan to implement the Olmstead ruling. In this new report, Disability Rights South Carolina and The South Carolina Institute of Medicine and Public Health detail how the lack of an Olmstead plan is affecting South Carolinians today and the opportunities for state and local entities to plan and collaborate to improve the lives of people with disabilities across the state. |
