Judicial authorization of treatment; advance directives. Provides that a court may authorize medical treatment for an incapacitated person when there is no available person with legal authority to make such decisions under (i) the advance directive of the incapacitated person; (ii) the regulations promulgated by the State Board of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services; or (iii) other applicable law. The court may not authorize treatment that is contrary to the provisions of an advance directive or is proven by a preponderance of the evidence to be contrary to the incapacitated person's religious beliefs, basic values, or specific preferences as stated by the person before becoming incapable of making an informed decision, unless the treatment is necessary to prevent death or a serious irreversible condition. The bill also authorizes restraint or transportation of an incapacitated person if necessary for treating a mental disorder of a person subject to an order of involuntary admission.
