Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Department of Human Services Act. In a provision requiring the Department of Humans Services' Inspector General to adopt rules establishing minimum requirements for reporting abuse or neglect allegations involving individuals receiving services due to mental illness, developmental disability, or both, provides that, in addition to other specified requirements, such rules shall (i) establish a process that ensures agencies are regularly informed on the status of ongoing investigations; and (ii) ensure agencies are informed of the ability to have trained staff follow procedures to perform investigations. In a provision concerning training programs, requires the Inspector General to establish a comprehensive program to ensure that every person authorized to conduct investigations receives ongoing and consistent (rather than ongoing) training relative to investigation techniques, communication skills, community models of providing long-term services and supports to persons with intellectual or developmental disabilities or mental illnesses, and the appropriate means of interacting with persons with intellectual or developmental disabilities or mental illnesses who are receiving services in a community setting (rather than the appropriate means of interacting with persons receiving treatment for mental illness, developmental disability, or both mental illness and developmental disability). Requires the Office of the Inspector General to (i) indicate the date upon which an investigation has begun on all reports, including final investigative reports; (ii) take steps to ensure investigative reports are completed in a timely manner; and (iii) outline procedures aimed at streamlining the investigatory process. Effective immediately.
