HB 1894 -- OVERDUE PATIENT ACCOUNTS FOR MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES
(Bringer)

COMMITTEE OF ORIGIN:  Committee on Judiciary

Currently, an overdue patient account submitted to a court for
collection must be certified by the head of a residential
facility or day program, with the seal of the institution
attached, in order to constitute prima facie evidence of the
amount due.  This bill requires the certification to be completed
by the Director of the Department of Mental Health or his or her
designee instead of the head of the facility or program.

FISCAL NOTE:  No impact on state funds in FY 2011, FY 2012, and
FY 2013.
