What’s in it

The inclusion of this explanation does not constitute agreement with the explanation’s substance by the members of the general assembly. This bill relates to certain involuntary hospitalization reporting requirements. After a person has been involuntarily committed for inpatient treatment due to a serious mental impairment, the medical director of the facility or the psychiatrist or psychiatric advanced registered nurse practitioner treating the patient must make a report to the court about the patient’s condition and how much longer the patient will require treatment by the facility.

Read the full explanation

The initial report is due within days of the entry of the order requiring treatment for the involuntarily committed person, and follow-up reports are due in 90-day intervals after the initial report. The bill changes the interval between follow-up reports to a maximum of six months.
