• Substitutes "intellectual disability" or "individuals with intellectual disabilities" for the older terms in provisions covering Medicaid, the Social Security Act, housing, criminal sentencing, and Indian health programs.
• Amends sections on military family medical contracts, federal grant programs, school lunch rules, and institutionalized persons' rights.
• Requires agencies that amend regulations to state that the new terms replace the old ones, and treats old terms in existing regulations as referring to the new terms.
• States that the changes are not meant to alter coverage, eligibility, rights, responsibilities, or definitions, and do not require states to change their own laws.
