Mental health: involuntary commitment.

Under existing law, if a person, as a result of a mental disorder, is a danger to others, or to themselves, or is gravely disabled, the person may, upon probable cause, be taken into custody and placed in a facility designated by the county and approved by the State Department of Health Care Services as a facility for 72-hour treatment and evaluation. Existing law prohibits specified mental health personnel from taking certain actions that interfere with a peace officer seeking to transport, or having transported, a person detained for 72-hour treatment and evaluation. This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to these provisions.
