Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Code, the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963, and the Unified Code of Corrections concerning the transportation of mental health patients. Provides that the Department of Human Services (instead of the county sheriff) is responsible for transporting mental health patients. Requires the Department to make arrangements with a licensed ambulance service for the transportation. Effective immediately.

House Amendment No. 1
Provides that the Department of Human Services shall make arrangements with other public or private entities (instead of a licensed ambulance service) for the transportation of mental health patients.

House Amendment No. 2
Provides that the Department of Human Services may not make arrangements with an existing a hospital or grant-in-aid or fee-for-service community provider for the transportation of certain mental health patients unless the hospital or provider voluntarily submits a proposal for its transportation services. Requires that the proposal include the provision of trained personnel and the use of an appropriate vehicle for the safe transport of the patients.

Governor Amendatory Veto Message
Recommends the following changes: Deleting provisions requiring the Department of Human Services (instead of the county sheriff) to arrange for transporting mental health patients. Providing that if the patient is found in any county where an entire State-operated mental health facility, operated by the Department of Human Services, was closed between August 2002 and September 2002, the county sheriff must take the patient into custody and notify the Department, which must make arrangements to transport the patient to that or another facility.
