 Mental Health/Developmental Disabilities and Substance
Abuse Services System Reform in North Carolina
After a year of study and stakeholder input, the General Assembly
passed Session Law 2001-437, commonly known as House Bill 381 MH/DD/SAS
Reform. The thirty-one pages of statute changes form the basis of
what the Division of MH/DD/SAS now calls "system transformation"
that mandates greater county oversight and consumer input, focuses
the system on the most seriously disabled, divests services and
supports from area programs to community providers, and calls for
the development of local and state level plans for the new system.
