About HB-1975

Temporary detention; minimum time period. Provides that an inmate in a jail or an acquittee on conditional release held pursuant to a temporary detention order shall be held for at least 23 hours after the execution of the order. The bill also provides that a person held pursuant to a temporary detention order shall be held for up to 24 hours after admission to the facility of temporary detention for the provision of mental health treatment to stabilize such person's psychiatric condition. Currently, an inmate, acquittee, or person may be held pursuant to a temporary detention order for up to 72 hours, but there is no requirement that a person subject to such order be held for any minimum time period.
