Bill > S1087

This bill aims to provide critical community services for individuals with mental illness who are at risk of harming themselves or others due to a lack of compliance with treatment. The key provisions include: defining "critical community health services" and "critical community health service treatment plan"; establishing criteria for court-ordered critical community health services, including grave disability and history of non-compliance with treatment; outlining the petition and hearing process; allowing for amendments to the treatment plan and termination of the order; and authorizing reasonable expenses to be paid by the individual, petitioner, or the Commonwealth. The goal is to provide the least restrictive treatment option to prevent harm and support individuals in the community.
