SECTION 11820-11820.1

11820. The Legislature recognizes the potential positive impact
that federal, state, and local health planning agencies can have on
the alleviation of alcohol and other drug problems through better
coordinated planning and utilization of limited health resources. The
Legislature encourages persons concerned with alcohol and other drug
problems to become involved as much as possible as representatives
on health planning agencies, and committees thereof, and in providing
advice and comments on health plans of those agencies.

11820.1. The department shall work together with the Office of
Statewide Health Planning and Development and any other statewide
health planning agencies created pursuant to Public Law 93-641 in the
preparation and implementation of the state health plan required
under that act. The department shall seek the advice and comments of
public and private agencies and individuals concerned with alcohol
and other drug problems prior to submission by the department of any
draft plans to the office.
