Description
Judicial authorization of treatment. Removes from the requirements that must be met prior to issuance of a court order for treatment of a mental or physical disorder on behalf of an adult who is incapable of making or communicating an informed decision on his own behalf the requirement that the court find that there is no available person with legal authority under human rights regulations or other applicable law to authorize the proposed treatment. The court will still have to determine whether, under the Health Care Decisions Act, there is an available person with legal authority to authorize the treatment. Read the Bill »
