States findings of the Legislature and authorizes the Legislative Council to appoint a committee to undertake and complete a study of issues relating to the involuntary commitment of certain persons.

This Legislation authorizes the Legislative Council to appoint a working committee to undertake and complete a study of Idaho laws relating to INVOLUNTARY COMMITMENTS for the custody, care, and treatment of persons with mental illnesses, neurocognitive disorders, and traumatic brain injuries. Current law surrounding this issue are found in numerous areas of Idaho Code, including Title 18, Title 56, and Title 66. Idaho’s current laws lack coordinated objectives and consistency, and an interim committee will provide an opportunity to review and update Idaho Code as appropriate to address problems with the involuntary commitment process throughout the state.
