Bill Summary
This bill reflects in greater detail the work performed by DSAMH and ensures that DSAMH has the appropriate authority to license and oversee community mental health providers as they do with SUD facilities. DSAMH essentially already does this when they draft their contracts, so providers are already required to meet their specific standards. This bill establishes uniform standards for providers.
AI Summary
This bill establishes the Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health (DSAMH) under the Department of Health and Social Services, granting it the authority to plan, implement, and oversee mental health programs and treatment services for individuals 18 years and older. The bill outlines DSAMH's powers and duties, including the ability to create and enforce licensing requirements for mental health treatment programs, provide education and training, operate the Delaware Psychiatric Center, and coordinate with other state agencies to deliver individualized treatment services. The bill aims to provide a more comprehensive legal framework for DSAMH's work and ensure it has the necessary authority to effectively regulate and support community mental health providers.
