Description
Discharge from state hospitals or training centers; local departments of social services. Changes from mandatory to optional whether a local department of social services provides care for an individual who is discharged from a state hospital or training center because he is not a proper case for treatment. If the director of the appropriate local department of social services agrees to accept the individual for care, the provision of public assistance or social services to the individual is the responsibility of such local department of social services as determined by regulations adopted by the State Board of Social Services. Under current law, local departments are required to provide public assistance or social services to such individuals if such care is necessary for the individual's welfare. Read the Bill »

This really should be the responsibility of the local Community Services Boards.
