DIRECTOR:

(1)  ANY INFORMATION THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE HEAD
HAS ABOUT AN INDIVIDUAL IN THE FACILITY;

(2)  ACCESS TO THE INDIVIDUAL; AND

(3)  ACCESS TO ANY PART OF THE FACILITY.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section formerly appeared as
Article 59, § 30(d)(1), (3), and (4).

In the introductory clause of this section, the
reference "public or private, in which mentally
disordered persons are patients," which formerly
modified "facility", is deleted as unnecessary.

In the introductory clause and item (1) of this
section, the term "administrative head" is
substituted for "superintendent", to standardize
the references to this type of position.

In item (3) of this section, the former reference
to a part of a facility "used for or in
conjunction with the care, maintenance,
sustenance or treatment of such patients" is
deleted as unnecessary in light of the use of the
defined term "facility".

The only other changes are in style.
