Inspector General for Mental Health, Mental Retardation and Substance Abuse Services. Moves the powers and duties that are currently attributed to the Office of Inspector General to the powers and duties of the Inspector General and clarifies that the Inspector General can access information related to the delivery of services to consumers operated by the Department of Mental Health, Mental Retardation and Substance Abuse Services or served by providers outside of the state facility system, including the licensed mental health treatment units in state correctional facilities. However, the Inspector General is not given access to privileged peer review information of the providers, except privileged information relating to consumers from state facilities and the mental health treatment units in state correctional facilities. The Code Commission reviewed the legislation in the course of its revision of Title 37.1. While it recognizes the need for clarifying amendments to be made, the Code Commission takes no position on the substantive changes made. The bill also contains technical amendments.
