Description
Mental health; prohibition of firearms. Provides that the district court judge or special justice shall forward any order from a commitment hearing for involuntary admission or involuntary outpatient treatment to the clerk of court for the county or city where the hearing took place as soon as practicable but no later than the close of business on the next business day following the completion of the hearing. The bill provides that a copy of the court's findings that a person is incapacitated or has been restored to capacity, or a copy of any order appointing a conservator or guardian shall be filed by the judge with the clerk of the circuit court for the county or city where the hearing took place "as soon as practical, but no later than the close of business on the next business day following the completion of the hearing." Current law does not specify in which county or city the copy shall be filed, nor does it provide a deadline. The bill also changes from "forthwith" to a deadline of "as soon as practical but no later than the close of business on the following business day" for a clerk to certify and forward to the Central Criminal Records Exchange a copy of any order adjudicating a person incapacitated, any order appointing a conservator or guardian, or any order of restoration of capacity.
