Modifies provisions relating to mental capacity to be tried or convicted

This bill outlines procedures for evaluating a defendant's mental fitness to stand trial. If a judge believes a defendant may not be mentally fit, they can order an assessment. Depending on the severity of the charges, this assessment may be done by the Department of Mental Health or private professionals. The bill details the reporting requirements for these evaluations and the subsequent court proceedings, including potential commitment for treatment or dismissal of charges if fitness cannot be restored.
