Title 22, section 6-C contains numerous references to both departments and requires joint direction by the Commissioner of Human Services and the Commissioner of Behavioral and Developmental Services.

Section 45 eliminates redundancy that would result from implementing the revision clause by eliminating the reference to the Department of Behavioral and Developmental Services, and section 46 repeals the definition of "department" since it is defined for Title 22 as the Department of Health and Human Services.

Section 47 resolves a conflict created by Public Law 1997, chapter 284, which enacted new language within Title 22, chapter 1053, and Public Law 1997, chapter 530, which repealed Title 22, chapter 1053 and enacted chapter 1053-B. Section 47 resolves the conflict by reallocating Title 22, section 3741-M to section 3769-D under new chapter 1053-B, which governs temporary assistance for needy families.
