Ala. Admin. Code r. 580-1-2-.04

Transitional Procedures

This section establishes transitional procedures for Alabama's Department of Mental Health and Mental Retardation to classify, grandfather, and limit certification of '310 Boards' (Comprehensive or Specialty community mental health boards) as of late 2001. It requires the Department to identify existing boards by county type, grandfather currently certified boards with limited exceptions for duplicates in the same county, and restrict new certifications to counties with demonstrated need. Facility operators should be aware that these procedures governed the initial recognition and certification status of community mental health entities under this chapter.
