LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — The federal government has accused Arkansas in a lawsuit of leaving people with severe mental or physical disabilities with no choice but to go into state institutions.
The Justice Department lawsuit accused Arkansas of a "systemic failure" that places people in institutions when the state should pursue less restrictive avenues for their care.
The federal government accused the state of violating the Americans with Disabilities Act, which guarantees people with developmental disabilities the right to live in the most appropriate setting for their needs.
