Bill Summary
Relative to commitment hearing venues. Mental Health, Substance Use and Recovery.
AI Summary
This bill amends the existing Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 123, which relates to mental health, substance use, and recovery. The key provision of this bill is that all commitment hearings under Chapter 123 must be held at the courthouse, unless a petitioner files a motion requesting that the hearing be held at the facility or hospital and shows good cause for such a request. This change aims to provide a standardized venue for these types of commitment hearings, while allowing for exceptions in certain circumstances.
