Agency: Human Services Function The Department of Human Services administers a variety of social services programs for the State of Utah. The Department includes the divisions of Executive Director Operations, Substance Abuse and Mental Health, Services for People with Disabilities, Aging and Adult Services, Office of Recovery Services, Child and Family Services, and Juvenile Justice Services (DJJS - formerly Youth Corrections). While DJJS is part of the Department of Human Services, its budget is reviewed in the Executive Offices and Criminal Justice Appropriations Subcommittee. For that reason, the DJJS budget and related issues are not summarized here. The Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health also oversees the treatment portion of the Drug Courts and the Drug Offender Reform Act (DORA) program. Programs within the divisions of Aging and Adult Services and Substance Abuse and Mental Health are operated at the local county level.
Statutory Authority The Department of Human Services is established and functions under authority of Title 62A of the Utah Code. - UCA 62A-1-102 creates the Department of Human Services and broadly outlines its purposes.
- UCA 62A-1-107 describes creation and purposes of state boards within the department.
- UCA 62A-1-111 lists the department's authority.
- UCA 62A-1-112 and UCA 62A-1-114 outline the department's role as the State agency overseeing federal social service programs.
