Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.
Mental health care in court programs
Wyoming court-supervised programs can provide mental health care, substance use treatment, or both. People with a listed mental illness or both types of disorder can qualify after an offense or alleged offense. Qualifying police contact can also count without an arrest. A mental health professional must diagnose schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, major depressive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, or bipolar disorder. Referral and acceptance follow Wyoming Supreme Court rules and, for juveniles, state juvenile law.
Court treatment protections and consent rules
Public defenders can join treatment teams and represent participants, including in hearings about sanctions or removal. Participants and program teams must sign a written agreement allowing relevant medical and treatment records to be shared under federal privacy rules. Judges can impose up to 30 days in jail for adults or detention for juveniles only after adjudication. These sanctions must be reasonable and imposed under the written agreement. Supreme Court rules and juvenile law govern referrals and consent; the statute no longer expressly requires the referring judge's consent.
More ways to access court treatment
Wyoming treatment programs can accept eligible people from any other jurisdiction in the state. Cities, towns, counties, Northern Arapaho and Eastern Shoshone tribal governments, and 501(c)(3) nonprofits can apply to establish programs. They can apply alone or together, and programs must follow Wyoming Supreme Court rules. The law also repeals several earlier court-treatment provisions; the supplied text does not explain their specific effects. The act took effect when the required steps for enactment were completed; no calendar date is supplied.
Court-ordered exams for children in cases
After a juvenile petition is filed, the court can choose a licensed mental health professional to examine the child. The exam helps determine the child's physical and mental condition. The district attorney, parent, guardian, custodian, or attorney can request it, or the court can act on its own. The supplied provision does not state who pays.
