Relating to certain proceedings and supervision following certain adjudications occurring in a criminal case.
SB 2758 establishes a new process for transferring jurisdiction over acquitted individuals who require court-ordered outpatient or community-based mental health treatment to a different county. The bill requires courts to hold a hearing within 45 days of a transfer motion, considering factors like resource availability in the new county, community safety, and whether the person has an existing support network (e.g., family or prior treatment) there. It directly affects people acquitted in criminal cases who were ordered to receive such treatment but seek it in a county other than where the original court was located. The law replaces vague jurisdiction rules with specific criteria to ensure adequate supervision and treatment access.
