When people committed to mental health facilities want to appeal their commitment in court, this bill specifies that their appeals must be filed in circuit court in the county where they are currently located, rather than allowing appeals in other venues. The change clarifies the proper court location for these appeals across South Dakota's mental health commitment process.
