HB 688 Psychiatric inpatient treatment of minors.

Introduced by: Phillip A. Hamilton | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Emergency custody orders for minors. Authorizes magistrates to issue emergency custody orders for juveniles. A recent Attorney General opinion states that, under current law, a magistrate lacks authority to issue an emergency custody order under § 37.1-67.01 if the person is a minor. Section 37.1-67.01, regarding emergency custody orders, was added in 1995, and the cross reference was not picked up in the Psychiatric Inpatient Treatment of Minors Act. Thus, this bill is a technical amendment to correct an oversight made when the involuntary commitment statutes were revised in 1995. This bill is identical to Senate Bill 88.
