Committee advances H 614 on detention and involuntary admission after questions on scope
Summary
The House Judiciary, Rules and Administration Committee advanced H 614, concerning detention and involuntary admission, to the House floor with a DO PASS recommendation after testimony in support and committee requests for clarification on neurocognitive disorders, guardianship and statutory language.
The House Judiciary, Rules and Administration Committee advanced H 614, a bill addressing detention and involuntary admission, to the full House on a DO PASS recommendation. Rep. Mitchell presented the bill and will sponsor it on the floor; Rep. Alfieri moved the DO PASS recommendation, which was carried by voice vote.
Travis Hartshorn of the Nez Perce County Prosecutor's Office testified in support of H 614. Committee members asked for clarifications about whether the bill’s provisions apply to people with neurocognitive disorders, how the Board of Guardians would interact with the bill’s provisions, how to interpret the phrase “or a sexual offense,” and the overall scope of the problem the bill seeks to address. The committee record shows the questions were raised but does not record on-the-spot amendments or final textual clarifications.
The committee took formal action to advance the bill; no roll-call vote was recorded in the minutes, which show the motion passed by voice vote. Rep. Mitchell is listed as the floor sponsor.
