The law directs the Department of Health and Social Services to develop board member training for human services and community programs, a model community mental health plan, and rules regarding changes in the program certification process. It also expands and revises the rights of patients receiving mental health services. Further components include a revision of laws relating to abuse, neglect, and misappropriation of the property of vulnerable adults and patients and residents of certain programs and facilities; a new procedure for receivership of county departments of community programs and related programs; the creation of penalties for the intentional destruction, damage, concealment, or falsification of treatment records and patient health care records; and provision for appointment of consumers or their family members to human service or community program boards.
