HB 1060 clarifies that when a court determines a defendant found mentally incompetent has a good chance of becoming competent within a year, the court **must** order them into a restoration program (rather than simply having the option to do so). The bill also specifies that defendants not considered dangerous to others can be placed on outpatient status for this restoration, giving courts more flexibility in how they handle these cases.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
