This is a very bad idea. People with psychiatric diagnoses are already afraid to seek medical treatment in ER's in this state, if this bill passes even more people will avoid necessary medical treatment and/or not get necessary medical treatment because an ER physician does not want to be bothered with them and TDO's them instead of treating their medical emergency.
