Iowa House approves plan to form separate Mental Health Department
The Iowa House passed a bill creating a separate Department of Mental Health by 94 to 2, moving most programs from Social Services. Funding would rise to 40 percent for state institutes by 1983, with 70 percent of capitalization shared with counties. Gov. Ray questions outside agency merit, study urged. Clerks note 14 years of discussion and bipartisan backing.
