Oklahoma HB3587 amends mental health laws to authorize court-ordered outpatient treatment, establish treatment plans, and set timelines for hearings.

Oklahoma HB3587 amends mental health laws to authorize court-ordered outpatient treatment for individuals who meet specific criteria. The bill requires a licensed mental health professional to develop a written treatment plan, which must be provided to the court. The court can delay the treatment order until the treatment plan is submitted. The bill specifies that the court must hear a petition to extend the outpatient treatment order, review the treatment plan, and determine if the individual still meets the criteria for assisted outpatient treatment.
