LAWS OF MARYLAND

Ch. 21

Administration are substituted for the references
to the Department, as the designated agency of
this State, and for references to the Secretary,
to reflect that responsibility for mental
disorders was consolidated in the Administration
on its creation, subject to the authority of the
Secretary. See § 10-203 of this subtitle.

In subsection (a) of this section, references to
"nonresidential" services and cases are
substituted for references to "noninstitutional"
services and cases, for clarity and conformity to
other references elsewhere in this article.

In the introductory clause of subsection (a) of
this section, the defined term "mental
disorder{s}" is substituted for "mentally ill"
and "mental illness", for clarity and conformity
to the rest of this title.

In subsection (a)(1) of this section, the phrase
"these individuals", which encompasses
individuals with mental disorders and with
conditions that may lead to mental disorders, is
substituted for the limited reference to
individuals with mental disorders. This
substitution is based on the broader reference in
the first sentence of former Article 43, § 44,
which enabled the provision of services to both
classes of individuals.

In subsection (b)(3) of this section, the former
list of possible sources of funds is deleted as
unnecessary.

Defined terms: "Administration" § 10-101
