A SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 4125 AS INTRODUCED 1-31-01
The bill would add a new section to the Mental Health Code to require the Department of Community Health to establish a facility to treat adults with serious mental illnesses or developmental disabilities who had been determined under administrative rules to be unsuitable for placement into a community based dependent living setting by an agency responsible for making placement decisions. The department could operate the facility directly or through a contractual arrangement with a private vendor, and could enter into an agreement, contract, or arrangement with an individual or a public or private entity in order to establish such a facility.
