SB 5687: Detention standards

Concerning standards for detention of persons with mental disorders or chemical dependency.

Summary

  • The requirement of imminence is removed from emergency detention statutes under the ITA, Juvenile ITA, and integrated crisis response chapters of the Revised Code of Washington, by striking the word "imminent" from the phrases "imminent likelihood of serious harm" and "imminent danger because of being gravely disabled" and replacing it with the word "substantial."
