Senate Bill 632 amends the Health and Safety Code to require a local mental health authority's governing body to include a sheriff, or a representative of a sheriff, as an ex officio nonvoting member. The bill provides for the composition of such a governing body for an authority that serves more than one county. The bill requires an authority to solicit information regarding community needs from local law enforcement agencies in developing a local service area plan. The bill revises provisions relating to the composition of the board of trustees of a community center established by one local agency or an organizational combination of agencies with respect to sheriffs and their representatives.
