1 10 NEW SUBSECTION. 9. A county's management plans submitted

1 20 EXPLANATION
1 21 This bill requires county management plans for mental
1 22 health, mental retardation, and developmental disabilities
1 23 services to address the service needs of persons with
1 24 traumatic brain injury.
1 25 The bill includes a definition of traumatic brain injury in
1 26 Code chapter 331, relating to county home rule implementation.
1 27 The provision requiring inclusion of traumatic brain injury
1 28 service needs in county plans also requires the service
1 29 providers to comply with certain national standards.
1 30 This bill may include a state mandate as defined in Code
1 31 section 25B.3. This bill makes inapplicable Code section
1 32 25B.2, subsection 3, which would relieve a political
1 33 subdivision from complying with a state mandate if funding for
1 34 the cost of the state mandate is not provided or specified.
1 35 Therefore, political subdivisions are required to comply with
2 1 any state mandate included in this bill.
