Bill > H0569

This bill expands the definition of a "forensic client" to include defendants who are involuntarily committed to residential services in a secure facility managed by the Agency for Persons with Disabilities, which is a state agency responsible for individuals with developmental disabilities. It also republishes Section 916.303 of Florida Statutes, which outlines the process for determining when a defendant is incompetent to stand trial and the subsequent dismissal of charges, while also detailing procedures for involuntary admission to residential services or continued placement in a secure facility if the defendant poses a danger to others or is a flight risk, with annual court reviews to ensure continued necessity and adequate care.
