Annually, DD Councils must submit amendments and/or updates to their 5-Year State Plan. An amendment is a major change of a 5-year goal that alters the intent of the original goal.  Amendments are due August 15th of each year for the following federal fiscal year.

State plan updates are minor grammatical changes to 5-year goals and other components of the plan such as objectives, activities, expected outcomes, evaluation, etc., and are due January 1 of each year for the current federal fiscal year.
