AI Summary
This bill allows criminal courts to determine if a defendant is a "mentally ill person subject to court order" or a "person with an intellectual disability subject to institutionalization by court order" when deciding if the defendant is competent to stand trial. This means that instead of these specific mental capacity determinations being exclusively handled by probate courts, criminal courts can now make these judgments within the context of a criminal case. The bill amends numerous sections of existing law related to mental health and developmental disabilities, and enacts a new section to facilitate this change, ensuring that both probate and criminal courts can handle these matters.
