- Abstract:
The article discusses the legal settlement of mentally retarded individuals in the United States. There are a number of special laws dealing with the settlement of mentally retarded individuals . These include the commitment of non-residents to an institution in some states and the endorsement of the legal settlement by the county authorities in Pennsylvania. However, these special laws create confusion. As a result, many states are proposing to abolish settlement of laws.
