AI Summary
This bill aims to improve access to emergency treatment plans by amending the General Laws of Massachusetts. It introduces the concept of a "treatment monitor" to supervise the implementation of treatment plans for incapacitated persons, ensuring they are followed. The bill sets timelines for the appointment of a treatment monitor and the filing of regular reports, and it outlines the process for addressing non-compliance with the treatment plan by either the incapacitated person or the service provider. Additionally, the bill allows the superintendent of a facility or the medical director of the Bridgewater State Hospital to petition the court for the continued monitoring of a patient after the expiration of a commitment order.
