Introduced by: Joseph D. Morrissey | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Behavioral health dockets; established. Establishes, by the Behavioral Health Docket Act (the Act), behavioral health courts as specialized court dockets within the existing structure of Virginia's court system, offering judicial monitoring of intensive treatment and supervision of offenders who have mental illness and co-occurring substance abuse issues. The bill establishes a state behavioral health docket advisory committee and requires localities intending to establish such dockets to establish local behavioral health docket advisory committees. The bill gives the Supreme Court of Virginia administrative oversight of the implementation of the Act, which is modeled on the Drug Treatment Court Act (§ 18.2-254.1).
