Introduced by: L. Louise Lucas | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Criminal defendants; orders for competency and sanity evaluations and hospitalization. Requires the clerk of court to provide a copy of an order for an evaluation for sanity, competency to stand trial, or competency restoration to the appointed evaluator or hospital as soon as practicable but no later than the close of business on the next business day following entry of the order. The evaluator or hospital must acknowledge receipt of the order to the clerk on a form developed by the Office of the Executive Secretary of the Supreme Court of Virginia. The bill also requires the same verification of receipt procedures for an order for psychiatric hospitalization of an inmate from a local correctional facility. The bill also provides that no person will be liable for any act or omission relating to any requirement in the bill unless the person was grossly negligent or engaged in willful misconduct. This bill is identical to HB 645.
