Introduced by: Linda T. Puller | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Study; patients found not guilty by reason of insanity and persons found incompetent to stand trial; report. Directs the Joint Commission on Health Care, through its Behavioral Health Care Subcommittee, to study the needs of patients found not guilty by reason of insanity and persons found incompetent to stand trial. The objectives of the study include (i) determining the appropriate treatment of acquittees; (ii) reviewing and revising diagnostic categories that are amenable to treatment and therefore eligible for inclusion as a possible NGRI defense; (iii) examining discharge alternatives that will expedite return to the community as well as free up acute care psychiatric beds; (iv) exploring the advisability and feasibility of coordination between the Department of Mental Health, Mental Retardation and Substance Abuse Services, local community services boards and the criminal justice system when an acquittee violates conditions of release that are not related to a psychiatric illness and therefore not appropriate for rehospitalization; and (v) determine the needs and impact of persons found incompetent to stand trial on the mental health state system.
