Persons with mental retardation, developmental disabilities or mental illness. Provides for the confidentiality of client records and investigative files of the Department for Rights of Virginians with Disabilities (DRVD). DRVD staff currently review client files to determine which documents are protected by existing exemptions under Virginia's Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and which must be provided in response to FOIA requests made by adverse parties in legal proceedings, the media and others. This bill would protect sensitive information obtained by DRVD during its investigation of complaints of abuse or neglect. This bill is identical to SB 552.
