Probation or parole no longer blocks North Dakota from making an interstate contract for a person's treatment or detoxification. Existing restrictions remain for people serving a sentence after conviction, subject to a presentence investigation, or involuntarily committed in North Dakota. The law preserves exceptions for authorized detoxification and emergency-hold placements. The act took effect immediately upon enactment as an emergency measure.
North Dakota can contract with Minnesota, Montana, or South Dakota for their residents to receive care in North Dakota. Public or private providers can offer mental health treatment, substance use disorder treatment, or detoxification. North Dakota can also contract with treatment or detoxification facilities in those states to serve North Dakota residents. Agreements can cover incoming patients on emergency holds, involuntarily committed patients, and people needing detoxification. They can also cover temporary out-of-state placements for North Dakota patients needing detoxification or on emergency holds. Detoxification can be voluntary or involuntary; other applicable laws and statutory exceptions still apply. Contracts must list services, care and transportation cost responsibilities, duration, termination rules, admission or retention refusal terms, and placement goals. Public or private entities must send the department agreements and amendments within 30 days of entering or amending them.
Patients receiving treatment or detoxification in another state must be told about legal consequences, including differences between state laws. Agreements must preserve North Dakota courts' authority over North Dakota residents and protect their rights under North Dakota law. Responsibility for care costs stays with each patient's home state. Patients committed by a neighboring state's court remain in that state's legal custody while placed in North Dakota. Their home state's rules still govern commitment length, re-examinations, and extensions; North Dakota law applies in all other respects.
