§ 7313. Board shall visit institution
The Board shall ascertain by examination and inquiry whether the laws relating to
individuals in custody or control are properly observed and may use all necessary
means to collect all desired information. It shall carefully inspect every part of
the hospital or training school visited with reference to its cleanliness and sanitary
condition, determine the number of patients or students in seclusion or restraint,
the diet of the patients or students, and any other matters that it considers material.
It shall offer to every patient or student an opportunity for an interview with its
visiting members or agents, and shall investigate those cases that in its judgment
require special investigation and particularly shall ascertain whether any individuals
are retained at any hospital or training school who ought to be discharged. (Added 1967, No. 305 (Adj. Sess.), § 1, eff. Oct. 1, 1968.)
