authorized transporters

Summary

The bill permits courts, agencies or individuals to use authorized non‑police transporters to apprehend and take people suspected of having a mental disorder to evaluation or treatment facilities when it is reasonably safe. It adds a safety‑statement requirement to the petition for involuntary evaluation and gives these transporters protection from civil lawsuits unless they act with gross negligence. The changes shift some responsibilities from peace officers to civilian providers while clarifying financial obligations for local governments.
