SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Independent Living Centers Technical

SEC. 2. INDEPENDENT LIVING CENTERS TECHNICAL ADJUSTMENT.

    In awarding funds to existing centers for independent living 
(described in section 722(c) of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 
U.S.C. 796f-1(c))) in fiscal year 2010 and thereafter in accordance 
with the priority established under section 722(e)(1) of such Act (29 
U.S.C. 796f-1(e)(1)), the Commissioner of the Rehabilitation Services 
Administration shall disregard any funds provided to such centers from 
funds appropriated by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 
2009 (Public Law 111-5) for the centers for independent living program 
under part C of title VII of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. 
796f et seq.) if, notwithstanding any contrary provision of a State 
plan submitted under section 704 of such Act (29 U.S.C. 796c)--
            (1) the Commissioner receives a request from the State, not 
        later than July 15, 2010, jointly signed by the State's 
        designated State unit (referred to in section 704(c) of such 
        Act (29 U.S.C. 796c(c))) and the State's Statewide Independent 
        Living Council (established under section 705 of such Act (29 
        U.S.C. 796d)), for the Commissioner to disregard any funds 
        provided to centers for independent living in the State from 
        funds appropriated by the American Recovery and Reinvestment 
        Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5) for the centers for independent 
        living program under part C of title VII of the Rehabilitation 
        Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. 796f et seq.);
            (2) the Commissioner is not conducting a competition to 
        establish a new center for independent living with such funds 
        in the State; and
            (3) such funds were not distributed among existing centers 
        for independent living in the same proportion as the regular 
        funds appropriated for fiscal year 2009 for the centers for 
        independent living program under part C of title VII of the 
        Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. 796f et seq.).
