	Biographical/Historical:	In 1970, the Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services established locally-administered and locally-controlled community mental health boards (Chapter 70-109, Laws of Florida). The purpose of the boards was to improve the effectiveness of necessary mental health services and to integrate state and community operated mental health programs into a unified mental health system. In addition, the boards were to provide, through the participation of local governments, a means of allocating state mental health funds according to community needs. The legislature dissolved the mental health boards in 1984 and established Alcohol, Drug Abuse, and Mental Health Planning Councils for the districts (Ch. 84-285, Laws)
