Read the official explanation
Code section 125.74 provides that prior to filing an application for the involuntary commitment or treatment of a person with a substance-related disorder or for the involuntary hospitalization of a person, the clerk of the district court or the clerk’s designee shall inform the interested person about the option of requesting a preapplication screening assessment through a preapplication screening assessment program, if available. This bill strikes provisions requiring the state court administrator to prescribe practices and procedures for the implementation of such a program.
