This bill creates new rules for how the Alabama Department of Mental Health (ADMH) handles serious events involving people with developmental and intellectual disabilities. It defines different types of "critical incidents," like abuse or major injuries, and sets specific deadlines for providers to report these incidents to ADMH. The bill also prevents ADMH from making reporting rules that are stricter than what this law or federal laws require.
