Florida Statutes Chapter 393
Developmental Disabilities
The chapter APD itself runs on. It defines who is served, licenses the facilities, sets the screening duty for direct service providers, and creates the iBudget system your services are billed under. If a letter from APD cites a statute, it is usually from here.
