HB 2742 Arizona House · 57th Legislature - First Regular Session

court-ordered evaluations

HB 2742 streamlines the process for requesting court-ordered mental health evaluations in Arizona. It requires standardized application forms with specific details about the person needing evaluation (including behavioral evidence, treatment history, and witness information), and mandates that screening agencies process applications within 48 hours. The bill explicitly protects individuals receiving treatment through recognized religious practices from involuntary evaluation unless a court determines they pose a danger to self or others. This affects individuals with serious mental health concerns who are unwilling or unable to seek voluntary care, as well as healthcare providers, law enforcement, and courts handling such cases.
