Introduced by: Harvey B. Morgan | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles | history
SUMMARY AS PASSED:
Alzheimer's and Related Diseases. Moves the staff responsibility for the Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders Commission (Commission) from the Department of Mental Health, Mental Retardation and Substance Abuse Services to the Department for the Aging (the “Department"). The Commission is reconstituted with an additional member bringing the number to 15 and providing for both gubernatorial and legislative appointees. Its expanded duties include developing a plan for meeting the needs of patients with Alzheimer's disease and related disorders and their caregivers, submitting an annual report to the Governor and General Assembly and making application for and expending grants, gifts or bequests. The bill charges the Department with providing referrals that link families caring for persons with Alzheimer's disease and related disorders with Virginia's chapters of the Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders Association. The Department also must provide information, counseling and referral about services and programs that may support individuals and families dealing with Alzheimer's disease and related disorders. Finally, the bill moves the existing Alzheimer's and Related Diseases Research Award Fund to this newly created article.
