Statutes Amended In Order of Appearance

405 ILCS 5/3-606

from Ch. 91 1/2, par. 3-606

Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Code. Provides that a peace officer may take a person into custody and transport him to a mental health facility when the peace officer has reasonable grounds to believe that the person is subject to involuntary admission and in need of immediate hospitalization (removes a requirement that the "reasonable grounds" be a result of the peace officer's personal observation). Provides that nothing in these provisions shall be interpreted to prevent (i) the filing of a petition for involuntary admission completed by the facility director or any other person or (ii) a decision by the petitioner or his or her counsel or the State's Attorney to proceed with a hearing on a petition for involuntary admission completed by someone other than the peace officer who transported the respondent to the facility. Effective immediately.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 1
Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Code. Provides that a peace officer may take a person into custody and transport him to a mental health facility when the peace officer has reasonable grounds to believe that the person is subject to involuntary admission and in need of immediate hospitalization (removes a requirement that the "reasonable grounds" be a result of the peace officer's personal observation). Provides that upon arrival at the facility, the peace officer may (instead of shall) complete a petition for involuntary admission. Provides that if the petition is not completed by the peace officer transporting the person, the transporting officer's name, badge number, and employer shall be included in the petition as a potential witness. Effective immediately.
