This bill clarifies which officials must be notified when someone fails to follow an outpatient mental health commitment or treatment order, requiring notification to the state's attorney in both the county where the person is located and the county that issued the original order. It also allows the treatment program or doctor to recommend alternative placements (like involuntary hospitalization) if they believe the person's condition will significantly worsen due to non-compliance.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
