CHAPTER 31
REGIONAL BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES
39-3132. REGIONAL BEHAVIORAL HEALTH BOARDS — ESTABLISHMENT. There is hereby created and established in each region a regional behavioral health board. It is legislative intent that the regional behavioral health boards operate and be recognized not as a state agency or department, but as governmental entities whose creation has been authorized by the state, much in the manner as other single purpose districts. However, the regional behavioral health boards shall have no authority to levy taxes. For the purposes of section 59-1302(15), Idaho Code, the seven (7) regional behavioral health boards created pursuant to this chapter shall be deemed governmental entities. The regional behavioral health boards are authorized to provide the community family support and recovery support services identified in section 39-3135(7), Idaho Code. The services identified in section 39-3135(7), Idaho Code, shall not be construed to restrict the services of the regional behavioral health board solely to these categories.
