Mental Illness - As enacted, requires the court that finds a person incompetent to stand trial for a criminal offense due to intellectual disability to also determine whether the person is subject to involuntary care and treatment at the hearing in which the person is declared incompetent; states that the district attorney general is not required to file a complaint to require involuntary care and treatment for a person who is found incompetent to stand trial due to intellectual disability in order to commit the person. - Amends TCA Section 33-5-403.

This law changes how Tennessee courts handle cases where a defendant is found incompetent to stand trial specifically because of an intellectual disability. When a judge makes this determination, they must now also decide if the person needs involuntary care and treatment at that same hearing. The bill removes the requirement for the district attorney general to file a separate complaint to commit such individuals to care, streamlining the process. These changes apply directly to judges, prosecutors, and individuals with intellectual disabilities facing criminal charges.
