Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the Community Services Act. Provides that if public moneys      
   are  paid  for  the  support  of  an  individual  who  resides  in  an      
   institution, and if that individual becomes a recipient  of  community      
   services   under   the  Act  upon  his  or  her  discharge  from  that      
   institution, the Department of Human Services  must  ensure  that  the      
   amount of public moneys paid for the support of that individual in the      
   community-services  setting  is  not  less  than  the amount of public      
   moneys paid for the support of that individual  in  the  institutional      
   setting.

   the Department  of  Human  Services  or  any  mental  health  facility      
   operated  by  the  Office  of  Mental  Health within the Department is

   in the qualifications of staff employed in mental health or develop-
