AI Summary
This bill makes several changes to Florida's mental health laws. It requires service providers to disclose information from a patient's clinical record if the patient has communicated a specific threat to cause serious bodily injury or death to an identified or readily available person, and the provider reasonably believes the patient has the intent and ability to carry out the threat. The bill revises deadlines for submission of documentation regarding involuntary examinations, and requires the Department of Education to analyze data on the initiation of involuntary examinations of children and make recommendations for encouraging alternatives and eliminating inappropriate initiations. It also revises the purpose of civil commitment of sexually violent predators and the responsibilities of the Department of Education and Statewide Office for Suicide Prevention, and revises the criteria for designation as a Certified Suicide Prevention School.
