Item 1

 
Services" and "Commissioner of Behavioral and Developmental
Services" with "Commissioner of Health and Human Services." Since
reference is made to both of the commissioners in Title 5, section
1660-D, subsection 3, section 6 corrects the references to avoid
redundancy.

 
Section 7 changes "Commissioner of Human Services" to
"Commissioner of Health and Human Services", and section 8
removes a reference to the Commissioner of Behavioral and
Developmental Services. Public Law 2003, chapter 689, Part B,
section 7 directs the Revisor of Statutes to change "Commissioner
of Human Services" and "Commissioner of Behavioral and
Developmental Services" to "Commissioner of Health and Human
Services"; changing both references to "Commissioner of Health
and Human Services" in this section of statute is not necessary.

 
Section 9 corrects a cross-reference.

 
Sections 10 and 11 remove references to a repealed provision
of law.

 
Section 12 corrects a conflict created by Public Law 2003,
chapter 655, which amended Title 12, section 10206, subsection 1,
paragraph B, and Public Law 2003, chapter 695, which repealed the
paragraph, by repealing the paragraph.

 
Public Law 2003, chapter 689, Part B, section 6 directs the
Revisor of Statutes to replace both "Department of Human
Services" and "Department of Behavioral and Developmental
Services" with "Department of Health and Human Services" to
reflect the consolidation of the departments. Section 13 amends
a reference to the Department of Behavioral and Developmental
Services to reflect the change.

 
Section 14 corrects cross-references to reflect changes made
by Public Law 2003, chapter 695 and this bill.

 
Section 15 corrects an error that occurred when Title 12,
section 12506, subsection 5 was repealed and replaced in Public
Law 2003, chapter 655, Part B, section 253. Paragraph B of
subsection 5 was supposed to have been excluded, reflecting its
previous repeal, but the subsection was mislettered to read
consecutively.

 
Section 16 corrects a cross-reference.

 
Section 17 corrects a conflict created when 2 public laws,
Public Law 2003, chapters 627 and 655, amended the same
subsection of law by incorporating the changes made by both
public laws.
