SB46 allows Department of Human Services personnel to disclose whether someone has been referred for services, addressing privacy rules that previously restricted such information sharing. The bill repeals several outdated confidentiality provisions while modifying existing disclosure rules to permit this specific type of referral status information to be shared. This change makes it easier for DHS staff to confirm referral status with the public while maintaining other privacy protections.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
