Bill > H1794

This bill amends Section 12(a) of Chapter 123 of the General Laws, which pertains to the emergency restraint and hospitalization of individuals who pose a risk of serious harm due to mental illness. Specifically, the bill changes a conjunction from "and" to "or" in the second sentence of that section, which could alter the conditions under which such emergency measures can be taken, potentially broadening or narrowing the circumstances for intervention.
