Where it is in the process

Plain-English Summary

This bill expands the criteria for court-ordered mental health treatment to include "psychiatric deterioration," a new legal term defined in the bill. If passed, courts could order treatment for individuals experiencing this condition, similar to how they currently can for those found to have a "serious mental impairment." The bill also makes related changes to various sections of Iowa Code concerning mental health procedures and commitments.
