To

WHEREAS,
the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities is charged by

implementation of planning and service development systems that are to focus on
a core set of consumer orientated and community based values and principles set
forth in Code Section 37-1-2; and
WHEREAS,

Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities to the leadership
and membership of the House of Representatives.
NOW,
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that there is created
the House Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities
Oversight Committee to be composed of five members of the House of
Representatives appointed by the Speaker of the House of Representatives. The
appointed members of the committee shall serve two-year terms concurrent with
their terms as members of the General Assembly. The chairperson of the
committee shall be appointed for a one-year term of office and shall be
appointed by the Speaker of the House of Representatives from the membership of
the committee. Vacancies shall be filled for the unexpired term in the same
manner as the original appointment.
BE
IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the committee may periodically attend meetings of the
Board of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities and may otherwise
inquire into and review the operation of the department. The oversight
committee shall provide information to the Speaker of the House of
Representatives and to House members.
BE
IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental
Disabilities shall cooperate with the committee. The board shall submit to the
committee such reports and information as the committee shall reasonably require
of the board in order that the committee may adequately inform itself of the
activities of the board required by this resolution.
BE
IT FURTHER RESOLVED that nothing contained within this resolution shall relieve
the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities of the
responsibilities imposed upon it under Georgia law.
