represented in the General Assembly:
Section 1. Purpose. The purpose of this amendatory Act of
the 101st General Assembly is to decrease the administrative
burden on behavioral and mental health providers throughout the
State who spend time and resources to meet State and federal
requirements to enroll members in services for which they are
eligible, free up limited resources, and allow providers to
focus on their members rather than duplicative and sometimes
contradictory categories of information.
Section 5. The Mental Health and Developmental
Disabilities Administrative Act is amended by adding Section
63.5 as follows:

providers are required to submit to the State pertaining to

the administration of mental health and behavioral health
services, including, but not limited to, substance use
disorder at the Department of Human Service or the

subsection (a) shall be conducted in collaboration with:
(1) behavioral and mental health providers throughout
the State, including, but not limited to, community
providers of treatment for substance use disorder;

organizations that serve individuals with serious mental
illness, chronic disease, substance use disorder, or
depression; and
(3) entities with expertise in federal requirements
and form development.
