Bill Summary
CONCERNING ADULT COMPETENCY TO STAND TRIAL.
AI Summary
This bill concerns adult competency to stand trial. It makes several changes to the process for determining competency, including requiring the court to appoint a BRIDGES court liaison, allowing the court to order outpatient restoration services, and establishing time limits and procedures for dismissal of charges if a defendant is found incompetent and unlikely to be restored to competency in the foreseeable future. The bill also requires the Department of Human Services to coordinate competency restoration services and provide case management for defendants released due to lack of restoration probability. Overall, the bill aims to improve the competency evaluation and restoration process for adult criminal defendants.
