Description

Transportation of person under emergency custody, temporary detention, or involuntary commitment order. Allows a person under an emergency custody order, temporary detention order, or involuntary commitment order to be transported by a family member; friend; representative of the community services board; health care provider; representative of the facility at which the person will be examined, detained, or admitted; or other transportation provider with personnel trained to provide transportation in a safe manner, upon a finding that such transportation is appropriate. This bill provides that, when making a decision regarding the appropriate transportation of a person under an emergency custody order, temporary detention order, or involuntary commitment order, the magistrate, judge, or special justice shall consider information provided by the community services board or its designee; the local law-enforcement agency, if involved; the petitioner; the person's treating physician; and others with knowledge of the person to be transported.
