Bill > HB2387

This bill modifies the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Code and the Clerks of Courts Act to update procedures for involuntary outpatient mental health treatment. The bill clarifies that circuit courts have jurisdiction over individuals subject to involuntary outpatient admission, with this specific provision set to become inoperative on January 1, 2030. For individuals not charged with a felony, the bill allows court orders to grant custodians the authority to admit a respondent to a hospital if they fail to comply with treatment conditions. The bill also specifies that noncompliance with an outpatient treatment order cannot be grounds for a contempt finding. Additionally, the legislation requires circuit court clerks to submit an annual report to the Administrative Office of the Illinois Courts, starting in March 2026, detailing the total number of petitions filed for involuntary outpatient admission. The bill allows court orders to include various treatment options like case management, therapy, educational training, and supervised living, but explicitly states that psychotropic medication and electroconvulsive therapy can only be ordered under specific separate provisions. The reporting requirement for these petitions is also set to become inoperative on January 1, 2030.
