DMHMRSAS Name Change

In the 2009 Session, the General Assembly passed legislation to change the name of the Department of Mental Health, Mental Retardation, and Substance Abuse Services to the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services. The new name eliminates the term retardation, more broadly reflects the department's mission, and allows flexibility to grow into other service areas like autism. The name change will become effective on July 1, 2009.
