Sec. 9.2. Interagency disclosure of recipient information. |
For the
purposes of continuity of care, the Department of Human |

necessary
for admission, treatment, planning, or discharge of |
the identified recipient to
another setting.
No records or |

the county jail or State |
prison requiring that the county jail or State prison adopt |
written policies and
procedures designed to ensure that the |
records and communications are disclosed
only to those persons |
employed by or under contract to the county jail or State |
prison who are
involved in the provision of mental health |
services to inmates and that the
records and communications are |
protected from further disclosure.
