Summary
The bill amends the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Code to add clear definitions for terms such as aversive stimuli, client, crisis triage center, and especially “harm to self” and “harm to others.” These definitions shape when involuntary treatment or assisted outpatient treatment can be applied, affecting patients, providers, and courts that handle mental‑health commitments.
