Expands medical treatment statute that applies to incapacitated patients and residents of state mental health and mental retardation facilities to apply to incapacitated community services board consumers and to include dental treatment. A licensed health professional or licensed hospital will not be subject to liability arising from a claim based on lack of informed consent or be prohibited from providing services when a delay in treatment might adversely affect the recovery of an individual who has no guardian or committee and who is receiving community mental health services from a community services board or behavioral health authority if two physicians (or dentists in the case of dental treatment) document this in writing. This bill is a recommendation of the Select Committee on Substitute Consent for People with Mental Disabilities.
