subsection (c) in Sec. 533.0355, and renumbering the following
sections accordingly:
In determining eligibility under (b)(3), an authority must
offer a state school as an option among the residential services
available to any individual who, due to their mental retardation,
is unable to enter the community without supervision due to the fact

department shall ensure that local mental retardation authorities
comply with this requirement, and shall consider their compliance
with this requirement as a performance measure.
