MENTAL HEALTH: Provides relative to standards for psychiatric hospitals and residential substance abuse facilities (EN NO IMPACT See Note)

HB 868 is a procedural amendment bill that modifies the text of a larger law regarding standards for psychiatric hospitals and substance abuse facilities. The bill does not introduce new policies or directly affect any individuals but instead corrects specific wording and formatting errors within the existing legislation. These technical changes adjust references to subsections and paragraphs to ensure the legal document is accurate. As a result, the bill has no substantive impact on the operations of healthcare facilities or the care of patients.
