AN ACT relating to court-ordered transports.

Summary

The legislation clarifies what certified court security officers may and may not do, limiting them to court‑related tasks and transport of detainees. It also creates a process for judges to order involuntary hospitalizations and mandates that sheriffs, court security officers, or designated peace officers transport patients, with costs paid by the cabinet. The goal is to ensure timely, safe transfers while keeping patients out of jail pending evaluation.
