Explanation
(This amendment captures funding provided in the introduced budget to fund proposed legislation requiring a minimum 24-hour period for a temporary detention order (TDO) and extending the current 48-hour maximum TDO to 72 hours for adults with mental illness. This proposed legislation was not passed. A companion amendment in Item 312 redirects this funding to state mental health treatment centers to provide services for individuals subject to TDOs pursuant to the passage of House Bill 293.)
