Concerning the involuntary treatment act.

Summary

The bill lets designated crisis responders interview a person they believe may be a danger because of a behavioral health disorder and, if the person refuses voluntary care, file a petition for a judge to order up to 168 hours of detention for evaluation and treatment. It also adds requirements to notify tribal authorities when the individual is American Indian or Alaska Native and sets procedures for emergency custody.
