Establishes provisions relating to mental health evaluations upon arrest

This bill requires that anyone arrested and needing a mental health evaluation to determine their fitness for trial must receive it within 45 days of arrest. If the person needs to be transferred to a mental health facility for treatment, that transfer must also happen within 45 days of the evaluation. If these deadlines are not met, the responsible department must explain why to the arresting authority or prosecutor, and the Department of Mental Health must submit annual reports on its compliance.
