Bill > SB412

This bill modifies provisions related to forensic review boards and establishes a new Community Forensic Aftercare Program within the Maryland Department of Health. Key changes include removing the requirement for forensic review boards to notify individuals within a specific timeframe after issuing recommendations, and clarifying that courts cannot order the Community Forensic Aftercare Program to make clinical treatment decisions for committed persons, who are individuals committed to the Health Department as not criminally responsible. The bill also details the functions of the Community Forensic Aftercare Program, which will monitor committed persons on conditional release and individuals with mental illness or intellectual disability requiring monitoring, and outlines procedures for program monitors and the Community Monitoring Board.
