The committee will consider draft legislation that would require a Medicaid applicant to
be informed of the full range of services offered by the Division of Aging and Adult
Services, the local area agencies on aging, and the local area agencies on high risk adults

The Division of Mental Health and the Utah Behavioral Health Network will report on their proposal to establish a new level of care for consumers of mental health services.
3:05 4. Privatization of Adoption
The Adoption Advisory Council of the Board of Child and Family Services has been
working with the Department of Human Services to determine whether activities

The department will also report on how it is implementing existing statutes requiring the
participation of private child placement agencies.

The task force will present its recommendations, including draft bills proposed for

Session.
4:15 7. Follow-up on Portability Study
At the October meeting the committee heard a report on the portability of state and
federal funding of services to persons with disabilities. The committee will receive a
follow-up report on that presentation. The committee will also receive, as required by
statute, a preliminary report on the broader issue of the portability of funding of persons
wishing to move from services funded by the Division of Health Care Financing
