sentence of former Article 59A, § 3(b) and
rephrased to state affirmatively that the cost of
the comprehensive evaluation is a "cost of care".
This revision avoids the necessity of defining
"admission" in a manner that differs from its
usual meaning. See also § 16-402 of this title.

Paragraph (2)(ii) of this subsection is new
language added to state expressly that these
juvenile screening and treatment services are
services within the scope of this title. See §
16-206 of this title.

Defined terms: "Comprehensive evaluation" § 7-101
"Includes"/"including" § 1-101
"Recipient of services" § 16-101

(E) RECIPIENT OF SERVICES.

(1)   "RECIPIENT OF SERVICES" MEANS AN INDIVIDUAL
WHO RECEIVES CARE, MAINTENANCE, TREATMENT, OR SUPPORT IN A
FACILITY OR PROGRAM THAT IS OPERATED OR FUNDED WHOLLY OR
PARTLY BY THE DEPARTMENT.

(2)   "RECIPIENT OF SERVICES" INCLUDES:

(I)  AN INDIVIDUAL IN A PUBLIC FACILITY
UNDER THE MARYLAND MENTAL HYGIENE LAW;

VETERANS' ADMINISTRATION HOSPITAL FOR COMPREHENSIVE
EVALUATION UNDER THE MARYLAND MENTAL RETARDATION LAW;

PUBLIC FACILITY OR A FACILITY FROM WHICH THIS STATE OBTAINS
RESIDENTIAL CARE UNDER THE MARYLAND MENTAL RETARDATION LAW;
AND

(IV)  AN INDIVIDUAL TO WHOM JUVENILE

6-117(B)(l)(II) OF THIS ARTICLE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language added
to provide a single, clear term that can be used
to refer to all individuals to whom this title
applies.

Paragraph (1) of this subsection is derived
without substantive change from the "second clause
of the second sentence of former Article 43, §
601(b)(1).

Paragraph (2)(ii) of this subsection is added to
reflect the exception in the second sentence of
former Article 59A, § 3(b).
