1 21 EXPLANATION
1 22 This bill requires county management plans for mental
1 23 health, mental retardation, and developmental disabilities
1 24 services to address the service needs of persons with
1 25 traumatic brain injury.
1 26 The bill includes a definition of traumatic brain injury in
1 27 Code chapter 331, relating to county home rule implementation.
1 28 The provision requiring inclusion of traumatic brain injury
1 29 service needs in county plans also requires the service
1 30 providers to comply with certain national standards.
1 31 This bill may include a state mandate as defined in Code
1 32 section 25B.3. This bill makes inapplicable Code section
1 33 25B.2, subsection 3, which would relieve a political
1 34 subdivision from complying with a state mandate if funding for
1 35 the cost of the state mandate is not provided or specified.
2 1 Therefore, political subdivisions are required to comply with
2 2 any state mandate included in this bill.
