      "summary": "The Supreme Court ruled in  Olmstead v. L.C.   that Title II of the Americans with\nDisabilities\nAct (ADA) requires states to transfer individuals with mental disabilities into community settings\nrather than institutions when a state treatment professional has determined the appropriateness of\nsuch an environment, the community placement is not opposed by the individual with a disability,\nand the placement can be reasonably accommodated. The Health Care Financing Administration\n(HCFA), as a response to the Supreme Court's decision, sent a letter to states on January 14, 2000\noutlining interim guidance for compliance with the requirements of Title II of the ADA regarding\ncommunity based services. This report will discuss the Supreme Court's decision, subsequent lower\ncourt decisions, the HCFA letter, and selected legislation. It will be updated as necessary.",
