Stage submittedUpdated 5mo ago

This amendment proposes changes to the laws governing nursing homes for those detained by the state, penitentiary systems, and juvenile justice institutions. It aims to expand the legal possibilities for administering involuntary medical treatment to detainees who cannot or will not consent to necessary care. This change primarily affects detainees in psychiatric care facilities, prisons, and youth justice centers, as well as the medical staff and legal authorities responsible for their care.
