             2686          (1) if the patient was voluntarily admitted on his own application, and the request for
             2687      release is made by a person other than the patient, release may be conditioned upon the agreement
             2688      of the patient; and
             2689          (2) if a local mental health authority, or its designee is of the opinion that release of a
             2690      patient would be unsafe for that patient or others, release of that patient may be postponed for up
             2691      to 48 hours, excluding weekends and holidays, provided that the local mental health authority, or
             2692      its designee, shall cause to be instituted involuntary commitment proceedings with the district
             2693      court within the specified time period, unless cause no longer exists for instituting those

             2706          (c) commitment on court order, as provided in Section [ 62A-12-234 ] 62A-15-631 .
             2707          (2) A person under 18 years of age may not be committed to a local mental health
             2708      authority, but may be committed to the division in accordance with the provisions of Part [2A] 7.

             2711           [62A-12-232].     62A-15-629. Temporary commitment -- Requirements and
             2712      procedures.
             2713          (1) (a) An adult may be temporarily, involuntarily committed to a local mental health
             2714      authority upon:
             2715          (i) written application by a responsible person who has reason to know, stating a belief that
             2716      the individual is likely to cause serious injury to himself or others if not immediately restrained,
             2717      and stating the personal knowledge of the individual's condition or circumstances which lead to
             2718      that belief; and
             2719          (ii) a certification by a licensed physician or designated examiner stating that the physician
             2720      or designated examiner has examined the individual within a three-day period immediately
             2721      preceding that certification, and that he is of the opinion that the individual is mentally ill and,
             2722      because of his mental illness, is likely to injure himself or others if not immediately restrained.
             2723          (b) Application and certification as described in Subsection (1)(a) authorizes any peace
             2724      officer to take the individual into the custody of a local mental health authority and transport the


             2725      individual to that authority's designated facility.
             2726          (2) If a duly authorized peace officer observes a person involved in conduct that gives the
             2727      officer probable cause to believe that the person is mentally ill, as defined in Section [ 62A-12-202 ]
             2728      62A-15-602 , and because of that apparent mental illness and conduct, there is a substantial
             2729      likelihood of serious harm to that person or others, pending proceedings for examination and
             2730      certification under this part, the officer may take that person into protective custody. The peace
             2731      officer shall transport the person to be transported to the designated facility of the appropriate local
             2732      mental health authority pursuant to this section, either on the basis of his own observation or on
             2733      the basis of a mental health officer's observation that has been reported to him by that mental
             2734      health officer. Immediately thereafter, the officer shall place the person in the custody of the local
             2735      mental health authority and make application for commitment of that person to the local mental
             2736      health authority. The application shall be on a prescribed form and shall include the following:
             2737          (a) a statement by the officer that he believes, on the basis of personal observation or on
             2738      the basis of a mental health officer's observation reported to him by the mental health officer, that
             2739      the person is, as a result of a mental illness, a substantial and immediate danger to himself or
             2740      others;
             2741          (b) the specific nature of the danger;
             2742          (c) a summary of the observations upon which the statement of danger is based; and
             2743          (d) a statement of facts which called the person to the attention of the officer.
             2744          (3) A person committed under this section may be held for a maximum of 24 hours,
             2745      excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays. At the expiration of that time period, the person
             2746      shall be released unless application for involuntary commitment has been commenced pursuant
             2747      to Section [ 62A-12-234 ] 62A-15-631 . If that application has been made, an order of detention may
             2748      be entered under Subsection [ 62A-12-234 ] 62A-15-631 (3). If no order of detention is issued, the
             2749      patient shall be released unless he has made voluntary application for admission.
             2750          (4) Transportation of mentally ill persons pursuant to Subsections (1) and (2) shall be
             2751      conducted by the appropriate municipal, or city or town, law enforcement authority or, under the
             2752      appropriate law enforcement's authority, by ambulance to the extent that Subsection (5) applies.
             2753      However, if the designated facility is outside of that authority's jurisdiction, the appropriate county
             2754      sheriff shall transport the person or cause the person to be transported by ambulance to the extent
             2755      that Subsection (5) applies.


             2756          (5) Notwithstanding Subsections (2) and (4), a peace officer shall cause a person to be
             2757      transported by ambulance if the person meets any of the criteria in Section 26-8a-305 . In addition,
             2758      if the person requires physical medical attention, the peace officer shall direct that transportation
             2759      be to an appropriate medical facility for treatment.
             2760          Section 83. Section 62A-15-630 , which is renumbered from Section 62A-12-233 is

             2762           [62A-12-233].     62A-15-630. Mental health commissioners.
             2763          The court may appoint a mental health commissioner to assist in conducting commitment
             2764      proceedings in accordance with Section 78-3-31 .
             2765          Section 84. Section 62A-15-631 , which is renumbered from Section 62A-12-234 is

             2767           [62A-12-234].     62A-15-631. Involuntary commitment under court order --
             2768      Examination -- Hearing -- Power of court -- Findings required -- Costs.
             2769          (1) Proceedings for involuntary commitment of an individual who is 18 years of age or
             2770      older may be commenced by filing a written application with the district court of the county in
             2771      which the proposed patient resides or is found, by a responsible person who has reason to know
             2772      of the condition or circumstances of the proposed patient which lead to the belief that the
             2773      individual is mentally ill and should be involuntarily committed. That application shall be
             2774      accompanied by:
             2775          (a) a certificate of a licensed physician or a designated examiner stating that within a
             2776      seven-day period immediately preceding the certification the physician or designated examiner has
             2777      examined the individual, and that he is of the opinion that the individual is mentally ill and should
             2778      be involuntarily committed; or
             2779          (b) a written statement by the applicant that the individual has been requested to but has
             2780      refused to submit to an examination of mental condition by a licensed physician or designated
             2781      examiner. That application shall be sworn to under oath and shall state the facts upon which the
             2782      application is based.
             2783          (2) Prior to issuing a judicial order, the court may require the applicant to consult with the
             2784      appropriate local mental health authority, or may direct a mental health professional from that local
             2785      mental health authority to interview the applicant and the proposed patient to determine the
             2786      existing facts and report them to the court.


             2787          (3) If the court finds from the application, from any other statements under oath, or from
             2788      any reports from a mental health professional that there is a reasonable basis to believe that the
             2789      proposed patient's mental condition and immediate danger to himself, others, or property requires
             2790      involuntary commitment pending examination and hearing; or, if the proposed patient has refused
             2791      to submit to an interview with a mental health professional as directed by the court or to go to a
             2792      treatment facility voluntarily, the court may issue an order, directed to a mental health officer or
             2793      peace officer, to immediately place the proposed patient in the custody of a local mental health
             2794      authority or in a temporary emergency facility as provided in Section [ 62A-12-237 ] 62A-15-634
             2795      to be detained for the purpose of examination. Within 24 hours of the issuance of the order for
             2796      examination, a local mental health authority or its designee shall report to the court, orally or in
             2797      writing, whether the patient is, in the opinion of the examiners, mentally ill, whether the patient
             2798      has agreed to become a voluntary patient under Section [ 62A-12-228 ] 62A-15-625 , and whether
             2799      treatment programs are available and acceptable without court proceedings. Based on that
             2800      information, the court may, without taking any further action, terminate the proceedings and
             2801      dismiss the application. In any event, if the examiner reports orally, he shall immediately send the
             2802      report in writing to the clerk of the court.
             2803          (4) Notice of commencement of proceedings for involuntary commitment, setting forth
             2804      the allegations of the application and any reported facts, together with a copy of any official order
             2805      of detention, shall be provided by the court to a proposed patient prior to, or upon, placement in
             2806      the custody of a local mental health authority or, with respect to any individual presently in the
             2807      custody of a local mental health authority whose status is being changed from voluntary to
             2808      involuntary, upon the filing of an application for that purpose with the court. A copy of that order
             2809      of detention shall be maintained at the place of detention.
             2810          (5) Notice of commencement of those proceedings shall be provided by the court as soon
             2811      as practicable to the applicant, any legal guardian, any immediate adult family members, legal
             2812      counsel for the parties involved, and any other persons whom the proposed patient or the court
             2813      shall designate. That notice shall advise those persons that a hearing may be held within the time
             2814      provided by law. If the patient has refused to permit release of information necessary for
             2815      provisions of notice under this subsection, the extent of notice shall be determined by the court.
             2816          (6) Proceedings for commitment of an individual under the age of 18 years to the division
             2817      may be commenced by filing a written application with the juvenile court in accordance with the


             2818      provisions of Part [2A] 7.
             2819          (7) The district court may, in its discretion, transfer the case to any other district court
             2820      within this state, provided that the transfer will not be adverse to the interest of the proposed
             2821      patient.
             2822          (8) (a) Within 24 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays, of the issuance
             2823      of a judicial order, or after commitment of a proposed patient to a local mental health authority
             2824      under court order for detention or examination, the court shall appoint two designated examiners
             2825      to examine the proposed patient. If requested by the proposed patient's counsel, the court shall
             2826      appoint, as one of the examiners, a reasonably available qualified person designated by counsel.
             2827      The examinations, to be conducted separately, shall be held at the home of the proposed patient,
             2828      a hospital or other medical facility, or at any other suitable place that is not likely to have a harmful
             2829      effect on the patient's health.
             2830          (b) A time shall be set for a hearing to be held within ten court days of the appointment
             2831      of the designated examiners, unless those examiners or a local mental health authority or its
             2832      designee informs the court prior to that hearing date that the patient is not mentally ill, that he has
             2833      agreed to become a voluntary patient under Section [ 62A-12-228 ] 62A-15-625 , or that treatment
             2834      programs are available and acceptable without court proceedings, in which event the court may,
             2835      without taking any further action, terminate the proceedings and dismiss the application.
             2836          (9) (a) Prior to the hearing, an opportunity to be represented by counsel shall be afforded
             2837      to every proposed patient, and if neither the patient nor others provide counsel, the court shall
             2838      appoint counsel and allow him sufficient time to consult with the patient prior to the hearing. In
             2839      the case of an indigent patient, the payment of reasonable attorneys' fees for counsel, as determined
             2840      by the court, shall be made by the county in which the patient resides or was found.
             2841          (b) The proposed patient, the applicant, and all other persons to whom notice is required
             2842      to be given shall be afforded an opportunity to appear at the hearing, to testify, and to present and
             2843      cross-examine witnesses. The court may, in its discretion, receive the testimony of any other
             2844      person. The court may allow a waiver of the patient's right to appear only for good cause shown,
             2845      and that cause shall be made a matter of court record.
             2846          (c) The court is authorized to exclude all persons not necessary for the conduct of the
             2847      proceedings and may, upon motion of counsel, require the testimony of each examiner to be given
             2848      out of the presence of any other examiners.


             2849          (d) The hearing shall be conducted in as informal a manner as may be consistent with
             2850      orderly procedure, and in a physical setting that is not likely to have a harmful effect on the mental
             2851      health of the proposed patient.
             2852          (e) The court shall receive all relevant and material evidence which is offered, subject to
             2853      the rules of evidence.
             2854          (f) A local mental health authority or its designee, or the physician in charge of the
             2855      patient's care shall, at the time of the hearing, provide the court with the following information:
             2856          (i) the detention order;
             2857          (ii) admission notes;
             2858          (iii) the diagnosis;
             2859          (iv) any doctors' orders;
             2860          (v) progress notes;
             2861          (vi) nursing notes; and
             2862          (vii) medication records pertaining to the current commitment.
             2863          That information shall also be supplied to the patient's counsel at the time of the hearing,
             2864      and at any time prior to the hearing upon request.
             2865          (10) The court shall order commitment of an individual who is 18 years of age or older to
             2866      a local mental health authority if, upon completion of the hearing and consideration of the record,
             2867      the court finds by clear and convincing evidence that:
             2868          (a) the proposed patient has a mental illness;
             2869          (b) because of the proposed patient's mental illness he poses an immediate danger of
             2870      physical injury to others or himself, which may include the inability to provide the basic necessities
             2871      of life such as food, clothing, and shelter, if allowed to remain at liberty;
             2872          (c) the patient lacks the ability to engage in a rational decision-making process regarding
             2873      the acceptance of mental treatment as demonstrated by evidence of inability to weigh the possible
             2874      costs and benefits of treatment;
             2875          (d) there is no appropriate less-restrictive alternative to a court order of commitment; and
             2876          (e) the local mental health authority can provide the individual with treatment that is
             2877      adequate and appropriate to his conditions and needs. In the absence of the required findings of
             2878      the court after the hearing, the court shall forthwith dismiss the proceedings.
             2879          (11) (a) The order of commitment shall designate the period for which the individual shall


             2880      be treated. When the individual is not under an order of commitment at the time of the hearing,
             2881      that period may not exceed six months without benefit of a review hearing. Upon such a review
             2882      hearing, to be commenced prior to the expiration of the previous order, an order for commitment
             2883      may be for an indeterminate period, if the court finds by clear and convincing evidence that the
             2884      required conditions in Subsection (10) will last for an indeterminate period.
             2885          (b) The court shall maintain a current list of all patients under its order of commitment.
             2886      That list shall be reviewed to determine those patients who have been under an order of
             2887      commitment for the designated period. At least two weeks prior to the expiration of the designated
             2888      period of any order of commitment still in effect, the court that entered the original order shall
             2889      inform the appropriate local mental health authority or its designee. The local mental health
             2890      authority or its designee shall immediately reexamine the reasons upon which the order of
             2891      commitment was based. If the local mental health authority or its designee determines that the
             2892      conditions justifying that commitment no longer exist, it shall discharge the patient from
             2893      involuntary commitment and immediately report that to the court. Otherwise, the court shall
             2894      immediately appoint two designated examiners and proceed under Subsections (8) through (10).
             2895          (c) The local mental health authority or its designee responsible for the care of a patient
             2896      under an order of commitment for an indeterminate period, shall at six-month intervals reexamine
             2897      the reasons upon which the order of indeterminate commitment was based. If the local mental
             2898      health authority or its designee determines that the conditions justifying that commitment no longer
             2899      exist, that local mental health authority or its designee shall discharge the patient from its custody
             2900      and immediately report the discharge to the court. If the local mental health authority or its
             2901      designee determines that the conditions justifying that commitment continue to exist, the local
             2902      mental health authority or its designee shall send a written report of those findings to the court.
             2903      The patient and his counsel of record shall be notified in writing that the involuntary commitment
             2904      will be continued, the reasons for that decision, and that the patient has the right to a review
             2905      hearing by making a request to the court. Upon receiving the request, the court shall immediately
             2906      appoint two designated examiners and proceed under Subsections (8) through (10).
             2907          (12) In the event that the designated examiners are unable, because a proposed patient
             2908      refuses to submit to an examination, to complete that examination on the first attempt, the court
             2909      shall fix a reasonable compensation to be paid to those designated examiners for their services.
             2910          (13) Any person committed as a result of an original hearing or a person's legally


             2911      designated representative who is aggrieved by the findings, conclusions, and order of the court
             2912      entered in the original hearing has the right to a new hearing upon a petition filed with the court
             2913      within 30 days of the entry of the court order. The petition must allege error or mistake in the
             2914      findings, in which case the court shall appoint three impartial designated examiners previously
             2915      unrelated to the case to conduct an additional examination of the patient. The new hearing shall,
             2916      in all other respects, be conducted in the manner otherwise permitted.
             2917          (14) Costs of all proceedings under this section shall be paid by the county in which the
             2918      proposed patient resides or is found.
             2919          Section 85. Section 62A-15-632 , which is renumbered from Section 62A-12-235 is
             2920      renumbered and amended to read:
             2921           [62A-12-235].     62A-15-632. Circumstances under which conditions justifying
             2922      initial involuntary commitment shall be considered to continue to exist.
             2923          (1) After a person has been involuntarily committed to the custody of a local mental health
             2924      authority under Subsection [ 62A-12-234 ] 62A-15-631 (10), the conditions justifying commitment
             2925      under that subsection shall be considered to continue to exist, for purposes of continued treatment
             2926      under Subsection [ 62A-12-234 ] 62A-15-631 (11) or conditional release under Section
             2927      [ 62A-12-241 ] 62A-15-637 , if the court finds that the patient is still mentally ill, and that absent
             2928      an order of involuntary commitment and without continued treatment he will suffer severe and
             2929      abnormal mental and emotional distress as indicated by recent past history, and will experience
             2930      deterioration in his ability to function in the least restrictive environment, thereby making him a
             2931      substantial danger to himself or others.
             2932          (2) A patient whose treatment is continued or who is conditionally released under the
             2933      terms of this section, shall be maintained in the least restrictive environment available which can
             2934      provide him with the treatment that is adequate and appropriate.
             2935          Section 86. Section 62A-15-633 , which is renumbered from Section 62A-12-236 is

             2976      mental health authority or its designee determines that the conditions justifying involuntary
             2977      commitment no longer exist, it shall discharge the patient. If the patient has been committed
             2978      through judicial proceedings, a report describing that determination shall be sent to the clerk of the

             2984          (1) A local mental health authority or its designee may release an improved patient to less
             2985      restrictive treatment as it may specify, and when agreed to in writing by the patient. Whenever a
             2986      local mental health authority or its designee determines that the conditions justifying commitment
             2987      no longer exist, the patient shall be discharged. If the patient has been committed through judicial
             2988      proceedings, a report describing that determination shall be sent to the clerk of the court where the
             2989      proceedings were held.
             2990          (2) (a) A local mental health authority or its designee is authorized to issue an order for
             2991      the immediate placement of a patient not previously released from an order of commitment into
             2992      a more restrictive environment, if the local mental health authority or its designee has reason to
             2993      believe that the less restrictive environment in which the patient has been placed is aggravating the
             2994      patient's mental illness as defined in Subsection [ 62A-12-234 ] 62A-15-631 (10), or that the patient
             2995      has failed to comply with the specified treatment plan to which he had agreed in writing.
             2996          (b) That order shall include the reasons therefor and shall authorize any peace officer to
             2997      take the patient into physical custody and transport him to a facility designated by the division.
             2998      Prior to or upon admission to the more restrictive environment, or upon imposition of additional
             2999      or different requirements as conditions for continued release from inpatient care, copies of the
             3000      order shall be personally delivered to the patient and sent to the person in whose care the patient
             3001      is placed. The order shall also be sent to the patient's counsel of record and to the court that
             3002      entered the original order of commitment. The order shall inform the patient of the right to a
             3003      hearing, as prescribed in this section, the right to appointed counsel, and the other procedures


             3004      prescribed in Subsection [ 62A-12-234 ] 62A-15-631 (9).
             3005          (c) If the patient has been in the less restrictive environment for more than 30 days and is
             3006      aggrieved by the change to a more restrictive environment, the patient or his representative may
             3007      request a hearing within 30 days of the change. Upon receiving the request, the court shall
             3008      immediately appoint two designated examiners and proceed pursuant to Section [ 62A-12-234 ]
             3009      62A-15-631 , with the exception of Subsection [ 62A-12-234 ] 62A-15-631 (10), unless, by the time
             3010      set for the hearing, the patient has again been placed in the less restrictive environment, or the
             3011      patient has in writing withdrawn his request for a hearing.
             3012          (3) The court shall find that either:
             3013          (a) the less restrictive environment in which the patient has been placed is aggravating the
             3014      patient's dangerousness or mental illness as defined in Subsection [ 62A-12-234 ] 62A-15-631 (10),
             3015      or the patient has failed to comply with a specified treatment plan to which he had agreed in
             3016      writing; or
             3017          (b) the less restrictive environment in which the patient has been placed is not aggravating
             3018      the patient's mental illness or dangerousness, and the patient has not failed to comply with any
             3019      specified treatment plan to which he had agreed in writing, in which event the order shall designate
             3020      that the individual shall be placed and treated in a less restrictive environment appropriate for his
             3021      needs.
             3022          (4) The order shall also designate the period for which the individual shall be treated, in
             3023      no event to extend beyond expiration of the original order of commitment.
             3024          (5) Nothing contained in this section prevents a local mental health authority or its
             3025      designee, pursuant to Section [ 62A-12-240 ] 62A-15-636 , from discharging a patient from
             3026      commitment or from placing a patient in an environment that is less restrictive than that ordered
             3027      by the court.

             3040      under this section, provided that the court may hold a hearing within a shorter period of time if
             3041      good cause appears. The costs of proceedings for such judicial determination shall be paid by the
             3042      county in which the patient resided or was found prior to commitment, upon certification, by the
             3043      clerk of the district court in the county where the proceedings are held, to the county legislative

             3200      proceeding shall result in the transfer of physical custody to the appropriate local mental health
             3201      authority, and the child may be placed in an inpatient or residential setting.
             3202          (3) The neutral and detached fact finder who conducts the inquiry:
             3203          (a) shall be a designated examiner, as defined in Subsection [ 62A-12-202 ] 62A-15-602 (3);
             3204      and
             3205          (b) may not profit, financially or otherwise, from the commitment or physical placement
             3206      of the child in that setting.
             3207          (4) Upon determination by the fact finder that the following circumstances clearly exist,
             3208      he may order that the child be committed to the physical custody of a local mental health authority:
             3209          (a) the child has a mental illness, as defined in Subsection [ 62A-12-202 ] 62A-15-602 (8);
             3210          (b) the child demonstrates a risk of harm to himself or others;
             3211          (c) the child is experiencing significant impairment in his ability to perform socially;
             3212          (d) the child will benefit from care and treatment by the local mental health authority; and
             3213          (e) there is no appropriate less-restrictive alternative.
             3214          (5) (a) The commitment proceeding before the neutral and detached fact finder shall be
             3215      conducted in as informal manner as possible, and in a physical setting that is not likely to have a
             3216      harmful effect on the child.
             3217          (b) The child, the child's parent or legal guardian, the person who submitted the petition
             3218      for commitment, and a representative of the appropriate local mental health authority shall all
             3219      receive informal notice of the date and time of the proceeding. Those parties shall also be afforded
             3220      an opportunity to appear and to address the petition for commitment.


             3221          (c) The neutral and detached fact finder may, in his discretion, receive the testimony of any
             3222      other person.
             3223          (d) The fact finder may allow the child to waive his right to be present at the commitment
             3224      proceeding, for good cause shown. If that right is waived, the purpose of the waiver shall be made
             3225      a matter of record at the proceeding.
             3226          (e) At the time of the commitment proceeding, the appropriate local mental health
             3227      authority, its designee, or the psychiatrist who has been in charge of the child's care prior to the
             3228      commitment proceeding, shall provide the neutral and detached fact finder with the following
             3229      information, as it relates to the period of current admission:
             3230          (i) the petition for commitment;
             3231          (ii) the admission notes;
             3232          (iii) the child's diagnosis;
             3233          (iv) physicians' orders;
             3234          (v) progress notes;
             3235          (vi) nursing notes; and
             3236          (vii) medication records.
             3237          (f) The information described in Subsection (5)(e) shall also be provided to the child's
             3238      parent or legal guardian upon written request.
             3239          (g) (i) The neutral and detached fact finder's decision of commitment shall state the
             3240      duration of the commitment. Any commitment to the physical custody of a local mental health
             3241      authority may not exceed 180 days. Prior to expiration of the commitment, and if further
             3242      commitment is sought, a hearing shall be conducted in the same manner as the initial commitment
             3243      proceeding, in accordance with the requirements of this section.
             3244          (ii) When a decision for commitment is made, the neutral and detached fact finder shall
             3245      inform the child and his parent or legal guardian of that decision, and of the reasons for ordering
             3246      commitment at the conclusion of the hearing, and also in writing.
             3247          (iii) The neutral and detached fact finder shall state in writing the basis of his decision,
             3248      with specific reference to each of the criteria described in Subsection (4), as a matter of record.
             3249          (6) Absent the procedures and findings required by this section, a child may be temporarily
             3250      committed to the physical custody of a local mental health authority only in accordance with the
             3251      emergency procedures described in Subsection [ 62A-12-232 ] 62A-15-629 (1) or (2). A child


             3252      temporarily committed in accordance with those emergency procedures may be held for a
             3253      maximum of 72 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays. At the expiration of that
             3254      time period, the child shall be released unless the procedures and findings required by this section
             3255      have been satisfied.
             3256          (7) A local mental health authority shall have physical custody of each child committed
             3257      to it under this section. The parent or legal guardian of a child committed to the physical custody
             3258      of a local mental health authority under this section, retains legal custody of the child, unless legal
             3259      custody has been otherwise modified by a court of competent jurisdiction. In cases when the
             3260      Division of Child and Family Services or the Division of Youth Corrections has legal custody of
             3261      a child, that division shall retain legal custody for purposes of this part.
             3262          (8) The cost of caring for and maintaining a child in the physical custody of a local mental
             3263      health authority shall be assessed to and paid by the child's parents, according to their ability to
             3264      pay. For purposes of this section, the Division of Child and Family Services or the Division of
             3265      Youth Corrections shall be financially responsible, in addition to the child's parents, if the child
             3266      is in the legal custody of either of those divisions at the time the child is committed to the physical
             3267      custody of a local mental health authority under this section, unless Medicaid regulation or contract
             3268      provisions specify otherwise. The Office of Recovery Services shall assist those divisions in
             3269      collecting the costs assessed pursuant to this section.
             3270          (9) Whenever application is made for commitment of a minor to a local mental health
             3271      authority under any provision of this section by a person other than the child's parent or guardian,
             3272      the local mental health authority or its designee shall notify the child's parent or guardian. The
             3273      parents shall be provided sufficient time to prepare and appear at any scheduled proceeding.
             3274          (10) (a) Each child committed pursuant to this section is entitled to an appeal within 30
             3275      days after any order for commitment. The appeal may be brought on the child's own petition, or
             3276      that of his parent or legal guardian, to the juvenile court in the district where the child resides or
             3277      is currently physically located. With regard to a child in the custody of the Division of Child and
             3278      Family Services or the Division of Youth Corrections, the attorney general's office shall handle
             3279      the appeal, otherwise the appropriate county attorney's office is responsible for appeals brought
             3280      pursuant to this Subsection (10)(a).
             3281          (b) Upon receipt of the petition for appeal, the court shall appoint a designated examiner
             3282      previously unrelated to the case, to conduct an examination of the child in accordance with the


             3283      criteria described in Subsection (4), and file a written report with the court. The court shall then
             3284      conduct an appeal hearing to determine whether the findings described in Subsection (4) exist by
             3285      clear and convincing evidence.
             3286          (c) Prior to the time of the appeal hearing, the appropriate local mental health authority,
             3287      its designee, or the mental health professional who has been in charge of the child's care prior to
             3288      commitment, shall provide the court and the designated examiner for the appeal hearing with the
             3289      following information, as it relates to the period of current admission:
             3290          (i) the original petition for commitment;
             3291          (ii) admission notes;
             3292          (iii) diagnosis;
             3293          (iv) physicians' orders;
             3294          (v) progress notes;
             3295          (vi) nursing notes; and
             3296          (vii) medication records.
             3297          (d) Both the neutral and detached fact finder and the designated examiner appointed for
             3298      the appeal hearing shall be provided with an opportunity to review the most current information
             3299      described in Subsection (10)(c) prior to the appeal hearing.
             3300          (e) The child, his parent or legal guardian, the person who submitted the original petition
             3301      for commitment, and a representative of the appropriate local mental health authority shall be
             3302      notified by the court of the date and time of the appeal hearing. Those persons shall be afforded
             3303      an opportunity to appear at the hearing. In reaching its decision, the court shall review the record
             3304      and findings of the neutral and detached fact finder, the report of the designated examiner
             3305      appointed pursuant to Subsection (10)(b), and may, in its discretion, allow or require the testimony
             3306      of the neutral and detached fact finder, the designated examiner, the child, the child's parent or
             3307      legal guardian, the person who brought the initial petition for commitment, or any other person
             3308      whose testimony the court deems relevant. The court may allow the child to waive his right to
             3309      appear at the appeal hearing, for good cause shown. If that waiver is granted, the purpose shall be
             3310      made a part of the court's record.
             3311          (11) Each local mental health authority has an affirmative duty to conduct periodic
             3312      evaluations of the mental health and treatment progress of every child committed to its physical
             3313      custody under this section, and to release any child who has sufficiently improved so that the


             3314      criteria justifying commitment no longer exist.
             3315          (12) (a) A local mental health authority or its designee, in conjunction with the child's
             3316      current treating mental health professional may release an improved child to a less restrictive
             3317      environment, as they determine appropriate. Whenever the local mental health authority or its
             3318      designee, and the child's current treating mental health professional, determine that the conditions
             3319      justifying commitment no longer exist, the child shall be discharged and released to his parent or
             3320      legal guardian. With regard to a child who is in the physical custody of the State Hospital, the
             3321      treating psychiatrist or clinical director of the State Hospital shall be the child's current treating
             3322      mental health professional.
             3323          (b) A local mental health authority or its designee, in conjunction with the child's current
             3324      treating mental health professional, is authorized to issue a written order for the immediate
             3325      placement of a child not previously released from an order of commitment into a more restrictive
             3326      environment, if the local authority or its designee and the child's current treating mental health
             3327      professional has reason to believe that the less restrictive environment in which the child has been
             3328      placed is exacerbating his mental illness, or increasing the risk of harm to himself or others.
             3329          (c) The written order described in Subsection (12)(b) shall include the reasons for
             3330      placement in a more restrictive environment and shall authorize any peace officer to take the child
             3331      into physical custody and transport him to a facility designated by the appropriate local mental
             3332      health authority in conjunction with the child's current treating mental health professional. Prior
             3333      to admission to the more restrictive environment, copies of the order shall be personally delivered
             3334      to the child, his parent or legal guardian, the administrator of the more restrictive environment, or
             3335      his designee, and the child's former treatment provider or facility.
             3336          (d) If the child has been in a less restrictive environment for more than 30 days and is
             3337      aggrieved by the change to a more restrictive environment, the child or his representative may
             3338      request a review within 30 days of the change, by a neutral and detached fact finder as described
             3339      in Subsection (3). The fact finder shall determine whether:
             3340          (i) the less restrictive environment in which the child has been placed is exacerbating his
             3341      mental illness, or increasing the risk of harm to himself or others; or
             3342          (ii) the less restrictive environment in which the child has been placed is not exacerbating
             3343      his mental illness, or increasing the risk of harm to himself or others, in which case the fact finder
             3344      shall designate that the child remain in the less restrictive environment.


             3345          (e) Nothing in this section prevents a local mental health authority or its designee, in
             3346      conjunction with the child's current mental health professional, from discharging a child from
             3347      commitment or from placing a child in an environment that is less restrictive than that designated
             3348      by the neutral and detached fact finder.
             3349          (13) Each local mental health authority or its designee, in conjunction with the child's
             3350      current treating mental health professional shall discharge any child who, in the opinion of that
             3351      local authority, or its designee, and the child's current treating mental health professional, no longer
             3352      meets the criteria specified in Subsection (4), except as provided by Section 78-3a-121 . The local
             3353      authority and the mental health professional shall assure that any further supportive services
             3354      required to meet the child's needs upon release will be provided.
             3355          (14) Even though a child has been committed to the physical custody of a local mental
             3356      health authority pursuant to this section, the child is still entitled to additional due process
             3357      proceedings, in accordance with Section [ 62A-12-283.1 ] 62A-15-704 , before any treatment which
             3358      may affect a constitutionally protected liberty or privacy interest is administered. Those treatments
             3359      include, but are not limited to, antipsychotic medication, electroshock therapy, and psychosurgery.
             3360          Section 104. Section 62A-15-704 , which is renumbered from Section 62A-12-283.1 is
             3361      renumbered and amended to read:

             3363          (1) For purposes of this section, "invasive treatment" means treatment in which a
             3364      constitutionally protected liberty or privacy interest may be affected, including antipsychotic
             3365      medication, electroshock therapy, and psychosurgery.
             3366          (2) The requirements of this section apply to all children receiving services or treatment
             3367      from a local mental health authority, its designee, or its provider regardless of whether a local
             3368      mental health authority has physical custody of the child or the child is receiving outpatient
             3369      treatment from the local authority, its designee, or provider.
             3370          (3) (a) The division shall promulgate rules, in accordance with Title 63, Chapter 46a, Utah
             3371      Administrative Rulemaking Act, establishing due process procedures for children prior to any
             3372      invasive treatment as follows:
             3373          (i) with regard to antipsychotic medications, if either the parent or child disagrees with that
             3374      treatment, a due process proceeding shall be held in compliance with the procedures established
             3375      under this Subsection (3);


             3376          (ii) with regard to psychosurgery and electroshock therapy, a due process proceeding shall
             3377      be conducted pursuant to the procedures established under this Subsection (3), regardless of
             3378      whether the parent or child agree or disagree with the treatment; and
             3379          (iii) other possible invasive treatments may be conducted unless either the parent or child
             3380      disagrees with the treatment, in which case a due process proceeding shall be conducted pursuant
             3381      to the procedures established under this Subsection (3).
             3382          (b) In promulgating the rules required by Subsection (3)(a), the division shall consider the
             3383      advisability of utilizing an administrative law judge, court proceedings, a neutral and detached fact
             3384      finder, and other methods of providing due process for the purposes of this section. The division
             3385      shall also establish the criteria and basis for determining when invasive treatment should be
             3386      administered.
             3387          Section 105. Section 62A-15-705 , which is renumbered from Section 62A-12-283.2 is

             3392      [ 62A-12-283.1 ] 62-15-704 , commitment proceedings for a child may be commenced by filing a
             3393      written application with the juvenile court of the county in which the child resides or is found, in
             3394      accordance with the procedures described in Section [ 62A-12-234 ] 62A-15-631 .
             3395          (2) The juvenile court shall order commitment to the legal custody of the division or to the
             3396      physical custody of a local mental health authority if, upon completion of the hearing and
             3397      consideration of the record, it finds by clear and convincing evidence that:
             3398          (a) the child has a mental illness, as defined in Subsection [ 62A-12-202 ] 62A-15-602 (8);
             3399          (b) the child demonstrates a risk of harm to himself or others;
             3400          (c) the child is experiencing significant impairment in his ability to perform socially;
             3401          (d) the child will benefit from the proposed care and treatment; and
             3402          (e) there is no appropriate less restrictive alternative.
             3403          (3) The division has an affirmative duty to conduct periodic reviews of children committed
             3404      to its custody pursuant to this section, and to release any child who has sufficiently improved so
             3405      that the director or his designee determines that commitment is no longer appropriate.
             3406          (4) When the division receives legal custody of a child upon order of the court pursuant


             3407      to this section, it may place the child in the physical custody of a local mental health authority.
             3408      The local mental health authority shall carry out its responsibilities with regard to that child in

             3452      health professional, determines that it is necessary for the welfare of the person to impose
             3453      restrictions, every child committed to the physical custody of a local mental health authority under
             3454      Section [ 62A-12-282.1 ] 62A-15-703 is entitled to:

             3459          (2) When any right of a child is limited or denied, the nature, extent, and reason for that
             3460      limitation or denial shall be entered in the child's treatment record. Any continuing denial or
             3461      limitation shall be reviewed every 30 days and shall also be entered in that treatment record.

             3463          (3) Notwithstanding any limitations authorized under this section on the right of
             3464      communication, each child committed to the physical custody of a local mental health authority
             3465      is entitled to communicate by sealed mail with his attorney, the local mental health authority, its
             3466      designee, his current treating mental health professional, and the court, if commitment was court

             3468          (4) Each local mental health authority shall provide appropriate and reasonable means and


             3469      arrangements for informing children and their parents or legal guardians of their rights as provided

             3483          (1) It is the responsibility of the division to [assure] ensure that the requirements of this

             3486      contract with, review, approve, and oversee local mental health authority plans, and to withhold

             3506      regarding whether public funds allocated to local mental health authorities are consistent with
             3507      services rendered and outcomes reported by it or its contract provider, and whether each local
             3508      mental health authority is exercising sufficient oversight and control over public funds allocated
             3509      for mental health programs and services.
             3510          (4) The Legislature may refuse to appropriate funds to the division upon the division's
             3511      failure to comply with the provisions of this part.
             3512          Section 113. Section 62A-15-713 , which is renumbered from Section 62A-12-289.1 is

             3517      programs and services in accordance with the provision of this chapter and Title 17A, Chapter 3,

Part 8. Interstate Compact on Mental Health

             3549           [62A-12-301].     62A-15-801. Interstate compact on mental health -- Compact
             3550      provisions.
             3551          The Interstate Compact on Mental Health is hereby enacted and entered into with all other
             3552      jurisdictions that legally join in the compact, which is, in form, substantially as follows:
             3553     
INTERSTATE COMPACT ON MENTAL HEALTH

             3554     
The contracting states solemnly agree that:

             3555     
Article I

             3556          The proper and expeditious treatment of the mentally ill can be facilitated by cooperative
             3557      action, to the benefit of the patients, their families, and society as a whole. Further, the party states
             3558      find that the necessity of and desirability of furnishing that care and treatment bears no primary
             3559      relation to the residence or citizenship of the patient but that the controlling factors of community
             3560      safety and humanitarianism require that facilities and services be made available for all who are
             3561      in need of them. Consequently, it is the purpose of this compact and of the party states to provide


             3562      the necessary legal and constitutional basis for commitment or other appropriate care and treatment
             3563      of the mentally ill under a system that recognizes the paramount importance of patient welfare and
             3564      to establish the responsibilities of the party states.
             3565          The appropriate authority in this state for making determinations under this compact is the
             3566      director of the division or his designee.
             3567     
Article II

             3568          As used in this compact:
             3569          (1) "After-care" means care, treatment, and services provided to a patient on convalescent
             3570      status or conditional release.
             3571          (2) "Institution" means any hospital, program, or facility maintained by a party state or
             3572      political subdivision for the care and treatment of persons with a mental illness.
             3573          (3) "Mental illness" means a psychiatric disorder as defined by the current Diagnostic and
             3574      Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, that substantially impairs a person's mental, emotional,
             3575      behavioral, or related functioning to such an extent that he requires care and treatment for his own
             3576      welfare, the welfare of others, or the community.
             3577          (4) "Patient" means any person subject to or eligible, as determined by the laws of the
             3578      sending state, for institutionalization or other care, treatment, or supervision pursuant to the
             3579      provisions of this compact and constitutional due process requirements.
             3580          (5) "Receiving state" means a party state to which a patient is transported pursuant to the
             3581      provisions of the compact or to which it is contemplated that a patient may be sent.
             3582          (6) "Sending state" means a party state from which a patient is transported pursuant to the
             3583      provisions of the compact or from which it is contemplated that a patient may be sent.
             3584          (7) "State" means any state, territory, or possession of the United States, the District of
             3585      Columbia, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.
             3586     
Article III

             3587          (1) Whenever a person physically present in any party state is in need of
             3588      institutionalization because of mental illness, he shall be eligible for care and treatment in an
             3589      institution in that state, regardless of his residence, settlement, or citizenship qualifications.
             3590          (2) Notwithstanding the provisions of Subsection (1) of this article, any patient may be
             3591      transferred to an institution in another state whenever there are factors, based upon clinical
             3592      determinations, indicating that the care and treatment of that patient would be facilitated or


             3593      improved by that action. Any such institutionalization may be for the entire period of care and
             3594      treatment or for any portion or portions thereof. The factors to be considered include the patient's
             3595      full record with due regard for the location of the patient's family, the character of his illness and
             3596      its probable duration, and other factors considered appropriate by authorities in the party state and
             3597      the director of the division, or his designee.
             3598          (3) No state is obliged to receive any patient pursuant to the provisions of Subsection (2)
             3599      of this article unless the sending state has:
             3600          (a) given advance notice of its intent to send the patient;
             3601          (b) furnished all available medical and other pertinent records concerning the patient;
             3602          (c) given the qualified medical or other appropriate clinical authorities of the receiving
             3603      state an opportunity to examine the patient; and
             3604          (d) determined that the receiving state agrees to accept the patient.
             3605          (4) In the event that the laws of the receiving state establish a system of priorities for the
             3606      admission of patients, an interstate patient under this compact shall receive the same priority as
             3607      a local patient and shall be taken in the same order and at the same time that he would be taken if
             3608      he were a local patient.
             3609          (5) Pursuant to this compact, the determination as to the suitable place of
             3610      institutionalization for a patient may be reviewed at any time and further transfer of the patient may
             3611      be made as is deemed to be in the best interest of the patient, as determined by appropriate
             3612      authorities in the receiving and sending states.
             3613     
Article IV

             3614          (1) Whenever, pursuant to the laws of the state in which a patient is physically present, it
             3615      is determined that the patient should receive after-care or supervision, that care or supervision may
             3616      be provided in the receiving state. If the medical or other appropriate clinical authorities who have
             3617      responsibility for the care and treatment of the patient in the sending state believe that after-care
             3618      in another state would be in the best interest of the patient and would not jeopardize the public
             3619      safety, they shall request the appropriate authorities in the receiving state to investigate the
             3620      desirability of providing the patient with after-care in the receiving state. That request for
             3621      investigation shall be accompanied by complete information concerning the patient's intended
             3622      place of residence and the identity of the person in whose charge the patient would be placed, the
             3623      complete medical history of the patient, and other pertinent documents.


             3624          (2) If the medical or other appropriate clinical authorities who have responsibility for the
             3625      care and treatment of the patient in the sending state, and the appropriate authorities in the
             3626      receiving state find that the best interest of the patient would be served, and if the public safety
             3627      would not be jeopardized, the patient may receive after-care or supervision in the receiving state.
             3628          (3) In supervising, treating, or caring for a patient on after-care pursuant to the terms of
             3629      this article, a receiving state shall employ the same standards of visitation, examination, care, and
             3630      treatment as for similar local patients.
             3631     
Article V

             3632          Whenever a dangerous or potentially dangerous patient escapes from an institution in any
             3633      party state, that state shall promptly notify all appropriate authorities both within and without the
             3634      jurisdiction of the escape in a manner reasonably calculated to facilitate the speedy apprehension
             3635      of the escapee. Immediately upon the apprehension and identification of that patient, he shall be
             3636      detained in the state where found, pending disposition in accordance with the laws of that state.
             3637     
Article VI

             3638          Accredited officers of any party state, upon the establishment of their authority and the
             3639      identity of the patient, shall be permitted to transport any patient being moved pursuant to this
             3640      compact through any and all states party to this compact, without interference.
             3641     
Article VII

             3642          (1) No person may be deemed a patient of more than one institution at any given time.
             3643      Completion of transfer of any patient to an institution in a receiving state has the effect of making
             3644      the person a patient of the institution in the receiving state.
             3645          (2) The sending state shall pay all costs of and incidental to the transportation of any
             3646      patient pursuant to this compact, but any two or more party states may, by making a specific
             3647      agreement for that purpose, arrange for a different allocation of costs among themselves.
             3648          (3) No provision of this compact may be construed to alter or affect any internal
             3649      relationships among the departments, agencies, and officers of a party state, or between a party
             3650      state and its subdivisions, as to the payment of costs or responsibilities.
             3651          (4) Nothing in this compact may be construed to prevent any party state or any of its
             3652      subdivisions from asserting any right against any person, agency, or other entity with regard to
             3653      costs for which that party state or its subdivision may be responsible under this compact.
             3654          (5) Nothing in this compact may be construed to invalidate any reciprocal agreement


             3655      between a party state and a nonparty state relating to institutionalization, care, or treatment of the
             3656      mentally ill, or any statutory authority under which those agreements are made.
             3657     
Article VIII

             3658          (1) Nothing in this compact may be construed to abridge, diminish, or in any way impair
             3659      the rights, duties, and responsibilities of any patient's guardian on his own behalf or with respect
             3660      to any patient for whom he serves, except that when the transfer of a patient to another jurisdiction
             3661      makes advisable the appointment of a supplemental or substitute guardian, a court of competent
             3662      jurisdiction in the receiving state may make supplemental or substitute appointments. In that case,
             3663      the court that appointed the previous guardian shall, upon being advised of the new appointment
             3664      and upon the satisfactory completion of accounting and other acts as the court may require, relieve
             3665      the previous guardian of power and responsibility to whatever extent is appropriate in the
             3666      circumstances.
             3667          However, in the case of any patient having settlement in the sending state, a court of
             3668      competent jurisdiction in the sending state has the sole discretion to relieve a guardian appointed
             3669      by it or to continue his power and responsibility, as it deems advisable. The court in the receiving
             3670      state may, in its discretion, confirm or reappoint the person or persons previously serving as
             3671      guardian in the sending state in lieu of making a supplemental or substitute appointment.
             3672          (2) The term "guardian" as used in Subsection (1) of this article includes any guardian,
             3673      trustee, legal committee, conservator, or other person or agency however denominated, who is
             3674      charged by law with power to act for the person or property of a patient.
             3675     
Article IX

             3676          (1) No provision of this compact except Article V applies to any person institutionalized
             3677      while under sentence in a penal or correctional institution, while subject to trial on a criminal
             3678      charge, or whose institutionalization is due to the commission of an offense for which, in the
             3679      absence of mental illness, he would be subject to incarceration in a penal or correctional
             3680      institution.
             3681          (2) To every extent possible, it shall be the policy of party states that no patient be placed
             3682      or detained in any prison, jail, or lockup, but shall, with all expedition, be taken to a suitable
             3683      institutional facility for mental illness.
             3684     
Article X

             3685          (1) Each party state shall appoint a "compact administrator" who, on behalf of his state,


             3686      shall act as general coordinator of activities under the compact in his state and receive copies of
             3687      all reports, correspondence, and other documents relating to any patient processed under the
             3688      compact by his state, either in the capacity of sending or receiving state. The compact
             3689      administrator, or his designee, shall deal with all matters relating to the compact and patients
             3690      processed under the compact. In this state the director of the division, or his designee shall act as
             3691      the "compact administrator."
             3692          (2) The compact administrators of the respective party states have power to promulgate
             3693      reasonable rules and regulations as are necessary to carry out the terms and provisions of this
             3694      compact. In this state, the division has authority to establish those rules in accordance with the
             3695      Utah Administrative Rulemaking Act.
             3696          (3) The compact administrator shall cooperate with all governmental departments,
             3697      agencies, and officers in this state and its subdivisions in facilitating the proper administration of
             3698      the compact and any supplementary agreement or agreements entered into by this state under the
             3699      compact.
             3700          (4) The compact administrator is hereby authorized and empowered to enter into
             3701      supplementary agreements with appropriate officials of other states pursuant to Articles VII and
             3702      XI of this compact. In the event that supplementary agreements require or contemplate the use of
             3703      any institution or facility of this state or require or contemplate the provision of any service by this
             3704      state, that agreement shall have no force unless approved by the director of the department or
             3705      agency under whose jurisdiction the institution or facility is operated, or whose department or
             3706      agency will be charged with the rendering of services.
             3707          (5) The compact administrator may make or arrange for any payments necessary to
             3708      discharge financial obligations imposed upon this state by the compact or by any supplementary
             3709      agreement entered into under the compact.
             3710     
Article XI

             3711          Administrative authorities of any two or more party states may enter into supplementary
             3712      agreements for the provision of any service or facility, or for the maintenance of any institution on
             3713      a joint or cooperative basis whenever the states concerned find that those agreements will improve
             3714      services, facilities, or institutional care and treatment of persons who are mentally ill. A
             3715      supplementary agreement may not be construed to relieve a party state of any obligation that it
             3716      otherwise would have under other provisions of this compact.


             3717     
Article XII

             3718          This compact has full force and effect in any state when it is enacted into law in that state.
             3719      Thereafter, that state is a party to the compact with any and all states that have legally joined.
             3720     
Article XIII

             3721          A party state may withdraw from the compact by enacting a statute repealing the compact.
             3722      Withdrawal takes effect one year after notice has been communicated officially and in writing to
             3723      the compact administrators of all other party states. However, the withdrawal of a state does not
             3724      change the status of any patient who has been sent to that state or sent out of that state pursuant
             3725      to the compact.
             3726     
Article XIV

             3727          This compact shall be liberally construed so as to effectuate its purposes. The provisions
             3728      of this compact are severable, and if any phrase, clause, sentence or provision is declared to be
             3729      contrary to the constitution of the United States or the applicability to any government, agency,
             3730      person, or circumstance is held invalid, the validity of the remainder of this compact and its
             3731      applicability to any government, agency, person, or circumstance shall not be affected thereby. If
             3732      this compact is held to be contrary to the constitution of any party state the compact shall remain
             3733      in full force and effect as to the remaining states and in full force and effect as to the state affected
             3734      as to all severable matters.
             3735          Section 115. Section 62A-15-802 , which is renumbered from Section 62A-12-302 is

             3803          (2) A declaration for mental health treatment shall designate a capable adult to act as
             3804      attorney-in-fact to make decisions about mental health treatment for the declarant. An alternative
             3805      attorney-in-fact may also be designated to act as attorney-in-fact if the original designee is unable
             3806      or unwilling to act at any time. An attorney-in-fact who has accepted the appointment in writing
             3807      may make decisions about mental health treatment on behalf of the declarant only when the
             3808      declarant is incapable. The decisions shall be consistent with any instructions or desires the
             3809      declarant has expressed in the declaration.


             3810          (3) A declaration is effective only if it is signed by the declarant and two capable adult

             3816      declarant. The physician or provider is authorized to act in accordance with an operative
             3817      declaration when the declarant has been found to be incapable. The physician or provider shall
             3818      continue to obtain the declarant's informed consent to all mental health treatment decisions if the
             3819      declarant is capable of providing informed consent or refusal.
             3820          (5) (a) An attorney-in-fact does not have authority to make mental health treatment
             3821      decisions unless the declarant is incapable.

             3823      for the cost of treatment provided to the declarant.
             3824          (c) Except to the extent that a right is limited by a declaration or by any federal law, an
             3825      attorney-in-fact has the same right as the declarant to receive information regarding the proposed
             3826      mental health treatment and to receive, review, and consent to disclosure of medical records
             3827      relating to that treatment. This right of access does not waive any evidentiary privilege.
             3828          (d) In exercising authority under the declaration, the attorney-in-fact shall act consistently
             3829      with the instructions and desires of the declarant, as expressed in the declaration. If the declarant's
             3830      desires are unknown, the attorney-in-fact shall act in what he, in good faith, believes to be the best
             3831      interest of the declarant.
             3832          (e) An attorney-in-fact is not subject to criminal prosecution, civil liability, or professional
             3833      disciplinary action for any action taken in good faith pursuant to a declaration for mental health
             3834      treatment.
             3835          (6) (a) A declaration for mental health treatment remains effective for a period of three
             3836      years or until revoked by the declarant. If a declaration for mental health treatment has been
             3837      invoked and is in effect at the expiration of three years after its execution, the declaration remains
             3838      effective until the declarant is no longer incapable.
             3839          (b) The authority of a named attorney-in-fact and any alternative attorney-in-fact continues
             3840      in effect as long as the declaration appointing the attorney-in-fact is in effect or until the


             3841      attorney-in-fact has withdrawn.
             3842          (7) A person may not be required to execute or to refrain from executing a declaration as
             3843      a criterion for insurance, as a condition for receiving mental or physical health services, or as a
             3844      condition of discharge from a facility.
             3845          Section 120. Section 62A-15-1003 , which is renumbered from Section 62A-12-503 is

             3853      unwilling at any time to comply with the declaration, the physician or provider shall promptly
             3854      notify the declarant and the attorney-in-fact, and document the notification in the declarant's
             3855      medical record.
             3856          (2) A physician or provider may subject a declarant to intrusive treatment in a manner
             3857      contrary to the declarant's wishes, as expressed in a declaration for mental health treatment if:
             3858          (a) the declarant has been committed to the custody of a local mental health authority in
             3859      accordance with Part [2] 6; or
             3860          (b) in cases of emergency endangering life or health.
             3861          (3) A declaration does not limit any authority provided in Part [2] 6 to take a person into
             3862      custody, or admit or retain a person in the custody of a local mental health authority.
             3863          (4) A declaration may be revoked in whole or in part by the declarant at any time so long
             3864      as the declarant is not incapable. That revocation is effective when the declarant communicates
             3865      the revocation to the attending physician or other provider. The attending physician or other
             3866      provider shall note the revocation as part of the declarant's medical record.
             3867          (5) A physician who administers or does not administer mental health treatment according
             3868      to and in good faith reliance upon the validity of a declaration is not subject to criminal
             3869      prosecution, civil liability, or professional disciplinary action resulting from a subsequent finding
             3870      that a declaration is invalid.
             3871          (6) None of the following persons may serve as an attorney-in-fact or as witnesses to the


             3872      signing of a declaration:
             3873          (a) the declarant's attending physician or mental health treatment provider, or an employee
             3874      of that physician or provider;
             3875          (b) an employee of the division; or
             3876          (c) an employee of a local mental health authority or any organization that contracts with
             3877      a local mental health authority.
             3878          (7) An attorney-in-fact may withdraw by giving notice to the declarant. If a declarant is
             3879      incapable, the attorney-in-fact may withdraw by giving notice to the attending physician or
             3880      provider. The attending physician shall note the withdrawal as part of the declarant's medical
             3881      record.

             4602          Section 131. Section 76-10-1312 is amended to read:
             4603           76-10-1312. Notice to offender of HIV positive test results.
             4604          (1) A person convicted under Section 76-10-1302 , 76-10-1303 , or 76-10-1313 who has
             4605      tested positive for the HIV infection shall be notified of the test results in person at the sentencing
             4606      hearing in the presence of the judge and counsel only.
             4607          (2) Whenever practicable, prior to notification in the district court, the offender shall be
             4608      served personally with written notice by the local law enforcement agency at a meeting with a local
             4609      law enforcement officer and a person from the state or county health department.
             4610          (a) At that meeting, the offender shall be informed of the test results and counseled on HIV
             4611      infection and its effects.
             4612          (b) The local law enforcement agency shall arrange the time and place of notification and
             4613      counseling.
             4614          (3) The notice shall contain the following information:
             4615          (a) the date of the test;


             4616          (b) the positive test results;
             4617          (c) the name of the HIV positive individual; and
             4618          (d) the following language:
             4619          "A person who has been convicted of prostitution under Section 76-10-1302 , patronizing
             4620      a prostitute under Section 76-10-1303 , or sexual solicitation under Section 76-10-1313 after being
             4621      tested and diagnosed as an HIV positive individual and receiving actual notice and personal written
             4622      notice of the positive test results shall be guilty of a felony of the third degree pursuant to Section
             4623      76-10-1309 ."
             4624          (4) Upon conviction under Section 76-10-1309 , and as a condition of probation, the
             4625      offender shall receive treatment and counseling for HIV infection and drug abuse as provided in
             4626      Title 62A, Chapter [8] 15, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Act.
             4627          Section 132. Section 77-15-5 is amended to read:
             4628           77-15-5. Order for hearing -- Stay of other proceedings -- Examinations of defendant
             4629      -- Scope of examination and report.
             4630          (1) When a petition is filed pursuant to Section 77-15-3 raising the issue of the defendant's
             4631      competency to stand trial or when the court raises the issue of the defendant's competency pursuant
             4632      to Section 77-15-4 , the court in which proceedings are pending shall stay all proceedings. If the
             4633      proceedings are in a court other than the district court in which the petition is filed, the district
             4634      court shall notify that court of the filing of the petition. The district court in which the petition is
             4635      filed shall pass upon the sufficiency of the allegations of incompetency. If a petition is opposed
             4636      by either party, the court shall, prior to granting or denying the petition, hold a limited hearing
             4637      solely for the purpose of determining the sufficiency of the petition. If the court finds that the
             4638      allegations of incompetency raise a bona fide doubt as to the defendant's competency to stand trial,
             4639      it shall enter an order for a hearing on the mental condition of the person who is the subject of the
             4640      petition.
             4641          (2) (a) After the granting of a petition and prior to a full competency hearing, the court may
             4642      order the Department of Human Services to examine the person and to report to the court
             4643      concerning the defendant's mental condition.
             4644          (b) The defendant shall be examined by at least two mental health experts not involved in
             4645      the current treatment of the defendant.
             4646          (c) If the issue is sufficiently raised in the petition or if it becomes apparent that the


             4647      defendant may be incompetent due to mental retardation, at least one expert experienced in mental
             4648      retardation assessment shall evaluate the defendant. Upon appointment of the experts, the
             4649      petitioner or other party as directed by the court shall provide information and materials to the
             4650      examiners relevant to a determination of the defendant's competency and shall provide copies of
             4651      the charging document, arrest or incident reports pertaining to the charged offense, known criminal
             4652      history information, and known prior mental health evaluations and treatments.
             4653          (d) The court may make the necessary orders to provide the information listed in
             4654      Subsection (2)(c) to the examiners.
             4655          (3) During the examination under Subsection (2), unless the court or the executive director
             4656      of the department directs otherwise, the defendant shall be retained in the same custody or status
             4657      he was in at the time the examination was ordered.
             4658          (4) The experts shall in the conduct of their examination and in their report to the court
             4659      consider and address, in addition to any other factors determined to be relevant by the experts:
             4660          (a) the defendant's present capacity to:
             4661          (i) comprehend and appreciate the charges or allegations against him;
             4662          (ii) disclose to counsel pertinent facts, events, and states of mind;
             4663          (iii) comprehend and appreciate the range and nature of possible penalties, if applicable,
             4664      that may be imposed in the proceedings against him;
             4665          (iv) engage in reasoned choice of legal strategies and options;
             4666          (v) understand the adversary nature of the proceedings against him;
             4667          (vi) manifest appropriate courtroom behavior; and
             4668          (vii) testify relevantly, if applicable;
             4669          (b) the impact of the mental disorder, or mental retardation, if any, on the nature and
             4670      quality of the defendant's relationship with counsel;
             4671          (c) if psychoactive medication is currently being administered:
             4672          (i) whether the medication is necessary to maintain the defendant's competency; and
             4673          (ii) the effect of the medication, if any, on the defendant's demeanor and affect and ability
             4674      to participate in the proceedings.
             4675          (5) If the expert's opinion is that the defendant is incompetent to proceed, the expert shall
             4676      indicate in the report:
             4677          (a) which of the above factors contributes to the defendant's incompetency;


             4678          (b) the nature of the defendant's mental disorder or mental retardation and its relationship
             4679      to the factors contributing to the defendant's incompetency;
             4680          (c) the treatment or treatments appropriate and available; and
             4681          (d) the defendant's capacity to give informed consent to treatment to restore competency.
             4682          (6) The experts examining the defendant shall provide an initial report to the court and the
             4683      prosecuting and defense attorneys within 30 days of the receipt of the court's order. The report
             4684      shall inform the court of the examiner's opinion concerning the competency of the defendant to
             4685      stand trial, or, in the alternative, the examiner may inform the court in writing that additional time
             4686      is needed to complete the report. If the examiner informs the court that additional time is needed,
             4687      the examiner shall have up to an additional 30 days to provide the report to the court and counsel.
             4688      The examiner must provide the report within 60 days from the receipt of the court's order unless,
             4689      for good cause shown, the court authorizes an additional period of time to complete the
             4690      examination and provide the report.
             4691          (7) Any written report submitted by the experts shall:
             4692          (a) identify the specific matters referred for evaluation;
             4693          (b) describe the procedures, techniques, and tests used in the examination and the purpose
             4694      or purposes for each;
             4695          (c) state the expert's clinical observations, findings, and opinions on each issue referred
             4696      for examination by the court, and indicate specifically those issues, if any, on which the expert
             4697      could not give an opinion; and
             4698          (d) identify the sources of information used by the expert and present the basis for the
             4699      expert's clinical findings and opinions.
             4700          (8) (a) Any statement made by the defendant in the course of any competency examination,
             4701      whether the examination is with or without the consent of the defendant, any testimony by the
             4702      expert based upon such statement, and any other fruits of the statement may not be admitted in
             4703      evidence against the defendant in any criminal proceeding except on an issue respecting mental
             4704      condition on which the defendant has introduced evidence. The evidence may be admitted,
             4705      however, where relevant to a determination of the defendant's competency.
             4706          (b) Prior to examining the defendant, examiners should specifically advise the defendant
             4707      of the limits of confidentiality as provided under this Subsection (8).
             4708          (9) When the report is received the court shall set a date for a mental hearing which shall


             4709      be held in not less than five and not more than 15 days, unless the court enlarges the time for good
             4710      cause. The hearing shall be conducted according to the procedures outlined in Subsections
             4711      [ 62A-12-234 ] 62A-15-631 (9)(b) through (9)(f). Any person or organization directed by the
             4712      department to conduct the examination may be subpoenaed to testify at the hearing. If the experts
             4713      are in conflict as to the competency of the defendant, all experts should be called to testify at the
             4714      hearing if reasonably available. The court may call any examiner to testify at the hearing who is
             4715      not called by the parties. If the court calls an examiner, counsel for the parties may cross-examine
             4716      the expert.
             4717          (10) A person shall be presumed competent unless the court, by a preponderance of the
             4718      evidence, finds the person incompetent to proceed. The burden of proof is upon the proponent of
             4719      incompetency at the hearing. An adjudication of incompetency to proceed shall not operate as an
             4720      adjudication of incompetency to give informed consent for medical treatment or for any other
             4721      purpose, unless specifically set forth in the court order.
             4722          (11) (a) If the court finds the defendant incompetent to stand trial, its order shall contain
             4723      findings addressing each of the factors in Subsections [ 77-15-5 ](4)(a) and (b) of this section. The
             4724      order issued pursuant to Subsection 77-15-6 (1) which the court sends to the facility where the
             4725      defendant is committed or to the person who is responsible for assessing his progress toward
             4726      competency shall be provided contemporaneously with the transportation and commitment order
             4727      of the defendant, unless exigent circumstances require earlier commitment in which case the court
             4728      shall forward the order within five working days of the order of transportation and commitment
             4729      of the defendant.
             4730          (b) The order finding the defendant incompetent to stand trial shall be accompanied by:
             4731          (i) copies of the reports of the experts filed with the court pursuant to the order of
             4732      examination if not provided previously;
             4733          (ii) copies of any of the psychiatric, psychological, or social work reports submitted to the
             4734      court relative to the mental condition of the defendant; and
             4735          (iii) any other documents made available to the court by either the defense or the
             4736      prosecution, pertaining to the defendant's current or past mental condition.
             4737          (12) If the court finds it necessary to order the defendant transported prior to the
             4738      completion of findings and compilation of documents required under Subsection (11), the
             4739      transportation and commitment order delivering the defendant to the Utah State Hospital, or other


             4740      mental health facility as directed by the executive director of the Department of Human Services
             4741      or his designee, shall indicate that the defendant's commitment is based upon a finding of
             4742      incompetency, and the mental health facility's copy of the order shall be accompanied by the
             4743      reports of any experts filed with the court pursuant to the order of examination. The executive
             4744      director of the Department of Human Services or his designee may refuse to accept a defendant
             4745      as a patient unless he is accompanied by a transportation and commitment order which is
             4746      accompanied by the reports.
             4747          (13) Upon a finding of incompetency to stand trial by the court, the prosecuting and
             4748      defense attorneys shall provide information and materials relevant to the defendant's competency
             4749      to the facility where the defendant is committed or to the person responsible for assessing his
             4750      progress towards competency. In addition to any other materials, the prosecuting attorney shall
             4751      provide:
             4752          (a) copies of the charging document and supporting affidavits or other documents used in
             4753      the determination of probable cause;
             4754          (b) arrest or incident reports prepared by a law enforcement agency pertaining to the
             4755      charged offense; and
             4756          (c) information concerning the defendant's known criminal history.
             4757          (14) The court may make any reasonable order to insure compliance with this section.
             4758          (15) Failure to comply with this section shall not result in the dismissal of criminal
             4759      charges.
             4760          Section 133. Section 77-15-6 is amended to read:
             4761           77-15-6. Commitment on finding of incompetency to stand trial -- Subsequent
             4762      hearings -- Notice to prosecuting attorneys.
             4763          (1) Except as provided in Subsection (5), if after hearing, the person is found to be
             4764      incompetent to stand trial, the court shall order the defendant committed to the custody of the
             4765      executive director of the Department of Human Services or his designee for the purpose of
             4766      treatment intended to restore the defendant to competency. The court may recommend but not
             4767      order placement of the defendant. The court may, however, order that the defendant be placed in
             4768      a secure setting rather than a nonsecure setting. The director or his designee shall designate the
             4769      specific placement of the defendant during the period of evaluation and treatment to restore
             4770      competency.


             4771          (2) The examiner or examiners designated by the executive director to assess the
             4772      defendant's progress toward competency may not be involved in the routine treatment of the
             4773      defendant. The examiner or examiners shall provide a full report to the court and prosecuting and
             4774      defense attorneys within 90 days of receipt of the court's order. If any examiner is unable to
             4775      complete the assessment within 90 days, that examiner shall provide to the court and counsel a
             4776      summary progress report which informs the court that additional time is necessary to complete the
             4777      assessment, in which case the examiner shall have up to an additional 90 days to provide the full
             4778      report. The full report shall assess:
             4779          (a) the facility's or program's capacity to provide appropriate treatment for the defendant;
             4780          (b) the nature of treatments provided to the defendant;
             4781          (c) what progress toward competency restoration has been made with respect to the factors
             4782      identified by the court in its initial order;
             4783          (d) the defendant's current level of mental disorder or mental retardation and need for
             4784      treatment, if any; and
             4785          (e) the likelihood of restoration of competency and the amount of time estimated to
             4786      achieve it.
             4787          (3) The court on its own motion or upon motion by either party or by the executive director
             4788      may appoint additional mental health examiners to examine the defendant and advise the court on
             4789      his current mental status and progress toward competency restoration.
             4790          (4) Upon receipt of the full report, the court shall hold a hearing to determine the
             4791      defendant's current status. At the hearing, the burden of proving that the defendant is competent
             4792      is on the proponent of competency. Following the hearing, the court shall determine by a
             4793      preponderance of evidence whether the defendant is:
             4794          (a) competent to stand trial;
             4795          (b) incompetent to stand trial with a substantial probability that the defendant may become
             4796      competent in the foreseeable future; or
             4797          (c) incompetent to stand trial without a substantial probability that the defendant may
             4798      become competent in the foreseeable future.
             4799          (5) (a) If the court enters a finding pursuant to Subsection (4)(a), the court shall proceed
             4800      with the trial or such other procedures as may be necessary to adjudicate the charges.
             4801          (b) If the court enters a finding pursuant to Subsection (4)(b), the court may order that the


             4802      defendant remain committed to the custody of the executive director of the Department of Human
             4803      Services or his designee for the purpose of treatment intended to restore the defendant to
             4804      competency.
             4805          (c) If the court enters a finding pursuant to Subsection (4)(c), the court shall order the
             4806      defendant released from the custody of the director unless the prosecutor informs the court that
             4807      commitment proceedings pursuant to Title 62A, Chapter 5, Services to People with Disabilities,
             4808      or Title 62A, Chapter [12,] 15, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Act, [or Title 62A, Chapter
             4809      5, Services to People with Disabilities,] will be initiated. These commitment proceedings must
             4810      be initiated within seven days after the court's order entering the finding in Subsection (4)(c),
             4811      unless the court enlarges the time for good cause shown. The defendant may be ordered to remain
             4812      in the custody of the director until commitment proceedings have been concluded. If the defendant
             4813      is committed, the court which entered the order pursuant to Subsection (4)(c), shall be notified by
             4814      the director at least ten days prior to any release of the committed person.
             4815          (6) If the defendant is recommitted to the department pursuant to Subsection (5)(b), the
             4816      court shall hold a hearing one year following the recommitment.
             4817          (7) At the hearing held pursuant to Subsection (6), except for defendants charged with the
             4818      crimes listed in Subsection (8), a defendant who has not been restored to competency shall be
             4819      ordered released or temporarily detained pending civil commitment proceedings under the same
             4820      terms as provided in Subsection (5)(c).
             4821          (8) If the defendant has been charged with aggravated murder, murder, attempted murder,
             4822      manslaughter, or a first degree felony and the court determines that the defendant is making
             4823      reasonable progress towards restoration of competency at the time of the hearing held pursuant to
             4824      Subsection (6), the court may order the defendant recommitted for a period not to exceed 18
             4825      months for the purpose of treatment to restore the defendant to competency with a mandatory
             4826      review hearing at the end of the 18-month period.
             4827          (9) Except for defendants charged with aggravated murder or murder, a defendant who has
             4828      not been restored to competency at the time of the hearing held pursuant to Subsection (8) shall
             4829      be ordered released or temporarily detained pending civil commitment proceedings under the same
             4830      terms as provided in Subsection (5)(c).
             4831          (10) If the defendant has been charged with aggravated murder or murder and the court
             4832      determines that he is making reasonable progress towards restoration of competency at the time


             4833      of the mandatory review hearing held pursuant to Subsection (8), the court may order the defendant
             4834      recommitted for a period not to exceed 36 months for the purpose of treatment to restore him to
             4835      competency.
             4836          (11) If the defendant is recommitted to the department pursuant to Subsection (10), the
             4837      court shall hold a hearing no later than at 18-month intervals following the recommitment for the
             4838      purpose of determining the defendant's competency status.
             4839          (12) A defendant who has not been restored to competency at the expiration of the
             4840      additional 36-month commitment period ordered pursuant to Subsection (10) shall be ordered
             4841      released or temporarily detained pending civil commitment proceedings under the same terms as
             4842      provided in Subsection (5)(c).
             4843          (13) In no event may the maximum period of detention under this section exceed the
             4844      maximum period of incarceration which the defendant could receive if he were convicted of the
             4845      charged offense. This Subsection (13) does not preclude pursuing involuntary civil commitment
             4846      nor does it place any time limit on civil commitments.
             4847          (14) Neither release from a pretrial incompetency commitment under the provisions of this
             4848      section nor civil commitment requires dismissal of criminal charges. The court may retain
             4849      jurisdiction over the criminal case and may order periodic reviews to assess the defendant's
             4850      competency to stand trial.

             5414      as determined by a recruiter, whose determination is final;

             5419          (c) the court retains jurisdiction over the minor under conditions set by the court and
             5420      agreed upon by the recruiter or the unit commander to which the minor is eventually assigned.
             5421          (4) (a) The court shall order that a DNA specimen shall be obtained from a minor who is


             5422      under the jurisdiction of the court as described in Subsection 53-10-403 (3). The specimen shall
             5423      be obtained by designated employees of the court or, if the minor is in the legal custody of the
             5424      Division of Youth Corrections, then by designated employees of the division under Subsection
             5425      53-10-404 (5)(b).
             5426          (b) The court shall ensure that employees designated to collect the saliva DNA specimens

             5430      for $75 toward the costs of obtaining the specimen, unless the court finds the minor is unable to
             5431      pay the reimbursement. Reimbursements shall be placed in the DNA Specimen Restricted
             5432      Account created in Section 53-10-407 .
             5433          (d) Payment of the reimbursement is second in priority to payments the minor is ordered
             5434      to make for restitution under this section and treatment under Section 78-3a-318 .
             5435          Section 140. Section 78-3a-119 is amended to read:

             5446          (2) (a) Except as provided in Part 3, Abuse, Neglect, and Dependency Proceedings, an
             5447      order vesting legal custody or guardianship of a minor in an individual, agency, or institution may
             5448      be for an indeterminate period. A review hearing shall be held, however, upon the expiration of
             5449      12 months, and, with regard to petitions filed by the Division of Child and Family Services, no less
             5450      than once every six months thereafter. The individual, agency, or institution involved shall file
             5451      the petition for that review hearing. The court may terminate the order, or after notice and hearing,
             5452      continue the order if it finds continuation of the order necessary to safeguard the welfare of the


             5453      minor or the public interest. The findings of the court and its reasons shall be entered with the
             5454      continuation order or with the order denying continuation.
             5455          (b) Subsection (2)(a) does not apply to minors who are in the custody of the Division of
             5456      Child and Family Services, and who are placed in foster care, a secure youth corrections facility,
             5457      the Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health, the Utah State Developmental Center, or any
             5458      agency licensed for child placements and adoptions, in cases where all parental rights of the natural
             5459      parents have been terminated by the court under Part 4, Termination of Parental Rights Act, and
             5460      custody of the minor has been granted to the agency for adoption or other permanent placement.
             5461          (3) (a) An agency granted legal custody may determine where and with whom the minor
             5462      will live, provided that placement of the minor does not remove him from the state without court
             5463      approval.
             5464          (b) An individual granted legal custody shall personally exercise the rights and
             5465      responsibilities involved in legal custody, unless otherwise authorized by the court.

             5472      78-3a-118 continues for purposes of this chapter until he becomes 21 years of age, unless

             5474      has refused or failed to pay any fine or victim restitution ordered by the court, but only for the
             5475      purpose of causing compliance with existing orders.

             5477          (i) upon order of the court;
             5478          (ii) upon commitment to a secure youth corrections facility; or

             5487          (4) Jurisdiction over a minor on probation or under protective supervision, or of a minor
             5488      who is otherwise under the continuing jurisdiction of the court, may be transferred by the court to
             5489      the court of another district, if the receiving court consents, or upon direction of the chair of the
             5490      Board of Juvenile Court Judges. The receiving court has the same powers with respect to the
             5491      minor that it would have if the proceedings originated in that court.

             5502      of Health and the Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health.
