Bill Summary:

Emergency custody and temporary detention; transportation
and custody. Amends numerous sections governing emergency custody
and temporary detention of minors and adults to clarify duties of
law-enforcement agencies and mental health facilities with regard
to custody. The bill requires facilities to take custody of a minor
or person who is the subject of an emergency custody order or temporary
detention order immediately upon completion of transportation and
arrival of the minor or person at the facility; specifies that if
a facility does not take custody of a minor or person immediately
upon completion of transportation and arrival at the facility, the
order is void and the minor or person shall be released; provides
that emergency custody orders shall not be extended; and makes other
changes to clarify the role and obligations of law enforcement in
the emergency custody and temporary detention process.
