Establishes provisions relating to mental health evaluations upon arrest

Summary

The bill would mandate that anyone arrested and subject to a mental‑health competency evaluation receive that assessment within 45 days of arrest. If the evaluation recommends placement in a mental‑health facility, the transfer must happen within 45 days of the assessment, and the Department of Mental Health must explain any delays. Annual compliance reports would be sent to the General Assembly.
