2008 SESSION
HB 402 Involuntary commitment petition; dismissal or withdrawal.
Introduced by: Phillip A. Hamilton | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles | history
SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE:
Involuntary commitment petition; minors; withdrawal. Provides that a petition for the involuntary commitment of a minor shall be served upon the minor and the minor's parents unless the petition has been withdrawn or dismissed. Current law only provides that such petition need not be served if the petition has been dismissed. This bill is identical to SB 68.
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Involuntary commitment petition; withdrawal. Makes clarifying change regarding service of a petition for involuntary commitment, replacing the term "dismissed" with "withdrawn," since a petition cannot be dismissed until after a hearing on the petition has been held.
