Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

Defines local jail and medical director terms

The law says a local detention facility means a county, city, or town jail or detention facility. It also says Medical Director has the meaning in state prison law. This makes clear which officials and facilities handle these record requests.

Records sharing to treat incompetent defendants

State health officials can get records from state prisons and local jails to evaluate and treat a defendant after a court finds the person incompetent. The prison or jail must give access, unless a court says otherwise. Records can include medical and mental health files. The records can only be used for evaluation and treatment. The defendant’s consent is not required for this access.
