SECTIONS 4360 - California Statutes

WELFARE AND INSTITUTIONS CODE

SECTION 4360

4360. (a) The department shall provide mental health treatment and
supervision in the community for judicially committed persons. The
program established and administered by the department under this
chapter to provide these services shall be known as the Forensic
Conditional Release Program and may be used by the department in
accordance with this section to provide services in the community to
other patient populations for which the department has direct
responsibility.
(b) The department may provide directly, or through contract with
private providers or counties, for these services, including
administrative and ancillary services related to the provision of
direct services. These contracts shall be exempt from the
requirements contained in the Public Contract Code and the State
Administrative Manual, and from approval by the Department of General
Services. Subject to approval by the department, a county or private
provider under contract to the department to provide these services
may subcontract with private providers for those services.
(c) Notwithstanding Section 5328, programs providing services
pursuant to this section may inform local law enforcement agencies of
the names and addresses of program participants who reside within
that agency's jurisdiction. Providing notice under this subdivision
does not relieve a person or entity of any statutory duty.
