Summary

Outpatient treatment; compliance; medication.  Provides that the community services board, behavioral health authority, or designated provider charged with monitoring a person's compliance with an involuntary outpatient treatment order shall report any material noncompliance, including a failure to take medication, with that order to the judge or special justice. Upon receipt of a report of material noncompliance, the judge or special justice shall issue a temporary detention order and then proceed to hold an involuntary commitment hearing, as a result of which the court may revoke outpatient treatment and order the person's involuntary commitment.
