Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Code. Provides that a "person subject to involuntary admission" to a mental health facility means a person with a mental illness and who because of that illness (i) is reasonably expected to engage in dangerous conduct (instead of to inflict serious physical harm upon himself or herself or another in the near future) or (ii) is unable to understand his or her need for treatment and who, if not treated, is reasonably expected to suffer or continue to suffer mental or emotional deterioration, or both, to the point that the person will engage in dangerous conduct (instead of being unable to provide for his or her basic physical needs so as to guard himself or herself from serious harm). Adds definitions of "dangerous conduct" and "mental illness". Effective immediately.
