A bill for an act relating to the confinement of persons found incompetent to stand trial.

Summary

The bill directs courts to commit defendants who are both a danger to public safety and unlikely to regain competency because of cognitive or neurophysiological disabilities to a state correctional or designated treatment facility. Their confinement continues under a rebuttable presumption, with required yearly threat assessments, reports, and court reviews, and ends no later than the maximum sentence for the alleged crime, after which the charge is dismissed.
