COMMITTEE OF ORIGIN: Standing Committee on Health and Mental Health
Currently, an application for detention and evaluation for treatment at a mental health facility may be executed by any adult person, who is not required to be an attorney or represented by an attorney, without a notarization requirement.
This bill repeals the provision that notarization is not required and specifies that no notarization will be required for any application, or for any affidavits, declarations, or other supporting documents, that were completed or executed by certain peace officers, licensed physicians, mental health professionals, registered professional nurses, or employees acting on behalf of a hospital, as specified in the bill.
This bill is similar to HB 543 (2025).
