[Laws, 1944, ch. 279, § 4; Laws, 1952, ch. 317, § 3] Editor’s Notes — Former § 41-15-1 created within the state board of health a department for the treatment of certain diseases which could eventually lead to insanity. Former § 41-15-3 provided for a physician in charge of the department created by former § 41-15-1 and set forth the manner of his selection and his powers and duties. Former § 41-15-5 dealt with the admission and discharge of patients under the care of the department created by former § 41-15-1 . Former § 41-15-7 dealt with the handling of appropriations and expenditures of the department created by former § 41-15-1 . The 1974 law which repealed these sections created a new state department and board of mental health (see §§ 41-4-1 et seq.), and rescinded the authority formerly vested in the state board of health with respect to mental health (see § 41-4-1 1(1)). Section 16 of the repealing act provided, in part, that “all powers, duties and responsibilities transferred by this act shall remain under the authority and control of existing state agencies until July 1, 1974.”
