Emergency custody orders; transportation to treatment center, etc.

Summary

The bill lets a magistrate, a responsible family member, a treating doctor, or a court issue an emergency custody order when someone with a mental illness is likely to harm themselves or others, or cannot care for basic needs. Law‑enforcement or approved transport providers must take the person to a medical evaluation, then to a treatment center or back home, with strict time limits and paperwork requirements. It also outlines how records are shared, how restraint may be used, and how providers are paid.
