Relating to the emergency detention of a person with mental illness at a mental health facility and certain best practices for courts with jurisdiction over emergency mental health matters.

HB 2405 aims to improve emergency mental health care by establishing clearer protocols for detaining individuals experiencing mental health crises. It requires police to transport such individuals to the nearest mental health facility within 100 miles or hospital emergency department if needed, and mandates courts to develop 24/7 procedures for judges to review emergency detention requests. The bill limits initial facility detention to 48 hours (including wait times for care), with limited extensions only for weather disasters or written court orders. These changes directly affect law enforcement, mental health facilities, courts handling emergency cases, and individuals seeking urgent mental health care. The bill focuses on streamlining access to care while setting clear time limits for involuntary detention.
