HB5823 amends Illinois criminal law to modify procedures for defendants requiring mental health treatment.
HB5823 revises the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 concerning the commitment of defendants for mental health treatment. It mandates that if the Department of Human Services fails to provide placement within 20 days of a court's placement order, the Department must compensate the sheriff for housing and mental health services for each day the defendant remains in the sheriff's custody beyond 20 days. The sheriff is not held liable for issues arising after the 20th day.
