Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends  the  Mental   Health   and   Developmental   Disabilities      
   Confidentiality    Act    concerning   disclosure   of   records   and      
   communications of a person who is receiving  or  has  received  mental      
   health  or  developmental  disabilities services.  Provides that these      
   records and communications shall be disclosed upon request  of  a  law      
   enforcement  officer,  a  State's Attorney, the Attorney General, or a      
   designee of any of these  persons  upon  proof  that  a  valid  felony      
   warrant  was  issued  for  the arrest of the recipient, but limits the      
   disclosure  to  records  and  communications   concerning:   (i)   the      
   recipient's  past or current presence at a mental health facility; and      
   (ii) the date of the recipient's discharge or future discharge from  a      
   mental health facility.

        Provides that therapist records and communications of a recipient      
   of mental health or developmental disability services may be disclosed      
   upon proof that a valid forcible felony warrant (rather than a  felony

   Disabilities  Confidentiality  Act.   Provides  that upon request of a      
   peace officer or prosecuting authority who has a valid forcible felony      
   warrant issued, a facility director shall disclose:  (1)  whether  the      
   person  who  is  the subject of the warrant is present at the facility      
   and (2) the date of that person's discharge or future  discharge  from      
   the facility.  Effective immediately.
