AI Summary

This bill amends Section 9A of Chapter 111E, which was inserted by Section 1 of Chapter 161 of the Acts of 2016. The key provisions are: 1. It extends the duration of protective custody to continue through the necessary transport, screening, and evaluation for treatment, rather than just until obtaining appropriate emergency medical treatment. 2. It adds the word "and evaluation" to the end of the third paragraph, indicating that the protective custody can also be used for the purpose of evaluation, in addition to treatment. The bill aims to provide more comprehensive and continuous protective custody for individuals who may need emergency mental health or substance use treatment and evaluation.
