# Delaware HB 103 (150) — AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 29 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO THE DIVISION OF SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND MENTAL HEALTH.
|
||
|
||
This bill reflects in greater detail the work performed by DSAMH and ensures that DSAMH has the appropriate authority to license and oversee community mental health providers as they do with SUD facilities. DSAMH essentially already does this when they draft their contracts, so providers are already required to meet their specific standards. This bill establishes uniform standards for providers.
