(a) Notwithstanding any other law, on or before October 1, 2015, the Department of Developmental Services shall submit to the Legislature a plan or plans to close one or more developmental centers. The plan or plans shall meet the requirements of subdivisions (c) to (g), inclusive of Section 4474.1, and shall be posted on the department’s Internet Web site.

(b) A plan submitted to the Legislature pursuant to this section may subsequently be modified during the legislative review process. Modifications may include changes based on stakeholder and county-designated advisory group comments, as well as recommendations made by the county in which the developmental center is located.
