service of process; evaluation agencies

Summary

It gives people ordered to undergo involuntary evaluation or court‑ordered treatment the right to be personally served with the required legal documents. Service may be done by a peace officer, a certified process server, or an authorized employee of the evaluation agency if the person is already inpatient. Local governments can contract out this service, and agencies aren’t liable for the cost except when they serve an inpatient.
