Arizona SB1243 amends court-ordered mental health treatment procedures, including annual reviews, notice requirements, and release criteria.
Arizona SB1243 revises the procedures for court-ordered mental health treatment. It mandates that the mental health treatment agency conduct an annual review of patients with grave disabilities or persistent or acute disabilities to determine if continued treatment is necessary. The review must consider the patient's history and compliance with treatment. If the agency believes continued treatment is needed, it must file an application with the court. The court may order a hearing if requested.
