Introduced by: Janet D. Howell | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED SENATE: (all summaries)
Competency of criminal defendant; reports for restoration providers. Requires the defendant's attorney to make available to the director of the community services board, behavioral health authority, or inpatient facility charged with treating the defendant the psychiatric records and other information that have been deemed relevant and submitted by the defendant's attorney to the evaluator. Current law requires that the evaluator's competency report be made available to the treating entity, but there is no time limit. The bill requires that all of these records and reports be made available to the treating entity within 96 hours of the issuance of the court order requiring treatment to restore competency. This bill is identical to HB 585.
