Introduced by: Jeion A. Ward | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)
Emergency custody; authority of law-enforcement officer. Authorizes a law-enforcement officer who is transporting a person who has voluntarily consented to being transported to a facility for assessment or evaluation and who subsequently revokes consent to be transported to take such person into emergency custody when the law-enforcement officer determines that consent has been revoked and the person meets the criteria for emergency custody, even if the law-enforcement officer is beyond the territorial limits of the jurisdiction in which he serves. This bill also clarifies that a law-enforcement officer who takes a person into emergency custody based upon his own observations or reliable reports of others may transport such person beyond the territorial boundaries of the jurisdiction in which he serves in order to obtain the required assessment. This bill states that it is declarative of existing law. This bill is identical to SB 1079.
