Request Title Reflect legislative changes to Temporary Detention Order program
Biennium 2014-2016
Budget Round Initial Bill
Half Sheet Number 298#1s
Description

This amendment reduces $347,626 GF the first year and $46,234 GF the second year for medical costs related to involuntary mental health commitments. The introduced budget included $1.4 million the first year and $1.7 million the second year from the general fund from a proposed extension of temporary detention orders from 48 to 72 hours. This amendment represents savings from the passage of legislation during the 2014 Regular Session to allow, but not require, a minimum period of detention of up to 24 hours (Chapter 691, 2014 Acts of Assembly). It also reflects the funding required to provide a second two-hour extension of the time during which a person may be held pursuant to an emergency custody order (Chapters 691 and 761, 2014 Acts of Assembly). Together these actions result in savings relative to the introduced budget. Language is also added requiring a review of the adequacy of the current rate paid for medical costs associated with involuntary mental health commitments.
