Ch. HSS 94 - The rights of persons receiving services for mental illness, a developmental disability, alcohol abuse or dependency or other drug abuse or dependency, and standards for grievance procedures.
Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis:
These rules apply to the Department, to county departments of human services, community programs and developmental disabilities services and to privately operated clinics, agencies, residential faculties and other providers of care and treatment for persons with mental disabilities, whether or not under contract to a county department. Many of the privately operated clinics, agencies, residential facilities and other service providers are small businesses as “small business” is defined in s. 227.114 (1) (a), Stats.
Section 51.61, Stats., establishes legal rights for persons receiving services for mental illness, a developmental disability, alcoholism or drug dependency. The statutes identifies each of those rights and for many of them elaborates on what they mean for care and treatment, including in some cases specifying procedures, conditions or qualifications related to protection of the rights. The Department's administrative rules, ch. HSS 94, further interpret that statute. This rulemaking order updates the rules to add new rights established by 1993 Wis. Act 445, to incorporate other changes in s. 51.61, Stats., made by Wis. Act 445, and to clarify, amend and further develop requirements on the basis of experience with the rules since they went into effect in 1987. These updating changes to not include new reporting or bookkeeping requirements, but do include requiring service providers to re-notify long-term patients of their rights and notify various parties when a patient is ready for placement in a less restrictive setting.
