Outpatient examination and commitment length.

Summary

The bill changes Wyoming law so that a court can order a directed outpatient commitment for up to two years, with mandatory review at least every six months. It also broadens the types of professionals who may examine a person facing involuntary hospitalization and requires a follow‑up review by a licensed health provider if the initial examiner is not a physician, psychiatrist, advanced practice nurse, physician assistant, or psychologist. These changes aim to improve oversight and flexibility in mental‑health interventions.
