§ 37.2-720. When collection of expenses not required
This article shall not be held or construed to require the Department to collect the expenses of the care, treatment or training, and maintenance of any indigent consumer from that person or from any person liable for him when investigation discloses that the indigent consumer or person liable for his support is without financial means or that such payment would work a hardship on the person or his family. Neither shall it be the duty or obligation of the Department to institute any proceedings provided for in this article to effect collection where investigation discloses that proceedings would be without effect or would work a hardship on the consumer or the person liable for his support.
