Where it is in the process

Plain-English Summary

This bill changes the requirements for applications to detain someone for mental health evaluation and treatment. It removes the need for notarization on these applications, as long as the person signing it is an adult and an employee of a hospital. Instead, these documents would be subject to penalties for perjury.
