Chapter No. 2026-8
Summary
The bill widens the definition of a forensic client to include defendants placed in involuntary residential care at a secure agency facility. It also establishes that charges against defendants found incompetent due to intellectual disability or autism are dismissed without prejudice, with provisions for possible re‑commitment to secure care if they remain unable to care for themselves or pose a danger. Annual court reviews are required for any continued secure placement.
