Subsection 76-8-311.3(2) provides that a mental health facility may provide by rule what items are prohibited within that facility. In addition, Section 62A-15-603 provides that directors of mental health facilities that house involuntary detainees or detainees committed pursuant to judicial order may establish secure areas.

Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:

The Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health (DSAMH) and the Utah State Hospital (USH) have not received any written comments since the last five-year review of this rule.
