Bill > S941

This bill aims to improve access to emergency treatment plans. It amends existing laws to allow the superintendent of a facility or medical director of the Bridgewater state hospital to petition the court for continued monitoring of a patient after the expiration of an order of commitment. The bill also establishes the role of a "treatment monitor" to supervise the treatment plan and ensure it is followed. The treatment monitor must report on the patient's condition and compliance with the plan, and the court can take enforcement action if the patient or service provider is not complying. The bill provides a process for the removal or resignation of a treatment monitor and for the incapacitated person to petition for termination of the treatment order or modification of the plan.
