Concerning appointed counsel for individuals detained under the involuntary treatment act.

HB 1905 requires courts to appoint legal counsel for individuals detained under Washington's involuntary treatment laws. This bill directly affects people facing involuntary mental health or substance use disorder detention, ensuring they have representation during court proceedings. Key provisions amend statutes to mandate appointed counsel during involuntary commitment hearings and related legal processes. The law updates procedures to provide due process for detained individuals under the Involuntary Treatment Act, without specifying funding or eligibility details. This change aims to strengthen legal protections for those in involuntary detention.
